In the world of cryptocurrency, new coins and tokens are constantly being introduced. Some gain popularity, while others fade away into obscurity. However, one recent launch has caught the attention of many in the crypto community – Poopcoin.
What is Poopcoin?
Poopcoin, created by Jordan Castro (also known as Poopie) and launched just ten hours ago, has already seen $60 million in volume traded. Despite this impressive start, the market cap is currently at a much lower $7 million.
The idea behind Poopcoin was inspired by Vitalik Buterin’s criticism of memecoins in a recent blog post. In contrast to intentionally offensive memecoins, Poopie positions Poopcoin as a project that adds value and positivity to the crypto world.
Airdrop to Doodle NFT Holders
What makes this launch even more interesting is the fact that Poopcoin was airdropped to Doodle NFT holders and early adopters. This means that those who hold an original Doodle NFT, even if they no longer own it, were able to receive Poopcoin for free.
But what exactly is Poopcoin? It is a memecoin created on the Ethereum Layer 2 network Base by Coinbase. However, Castro has cautioned that it may potentially be “worth less than zero.” This is a reminder of the volatility and risk involved in investing in any cryptocurrency.
Shortly after the announcement of the airdrop, two wallets acquired over 36% of Poopcoin’s total supply. This is higher than the intended 15% distribution to community members and early adopters. One wallet now controls 20% of the supply across 95 wallets, and has already realized profits of $450,000.
Conclusion
The launch of Poopcoin has caused quite a stir in the crypto world, with some praising its potential and others expressing caution. Only time will tell how this memecoin will fare in the long run.
In the meantime, Doodle holders and early adopters can enjoy their airdropped Poopcoin, and keep an eye out for any developments or updates from Poopie and his team. Will Poopcoin live up to its name and bring some “crap-tastic” gains? Only time will tell. Let’s stay tuned for more updates!
