$Buttcoin traces back to 2013, inspired by James D. McMurray’s YouTube video “The Next Bitcoin?” – a hilarious roast of Bitcoin’s complexity, flipping it into a simpler, butt-shaped alternative.
This wasn’t some afterthought; the video dropped just days after Dogecoin’s launch, making Buttcoin one of the earliest crypto memes on record.
Fact-check: The video exists, timestamped 2013, and it’s the genesis of the Buttcoin joke. No cap – the original creator (aka Buttoshi) is even onboard now, buying in, locking supply, and getting fees from the token. That’s pure community alignment, no VC dilution.
