Brian, you've been very vocal on social media lately about your appreciation for the dick butt meme. I have to ask, why? You know, I've spent my career in crypto talking about decentralization, permissionless systems, censorship resistance, and when I look at dick butt, I see all of those values embodied in one simple absurd image. Brian, walk us through this. They're comparing this dick and butt meme to the principles of cryptocurrency. Guy, I'm not just comparing them, I'm saying they share the same DNA. Look at the network effects. Dickbutt started on 4chan, it spread to Reddit. It was being posted in the early Bitcoin forums. The same forums where people were discussing Satoshi's white paper or the same communities that built this entire industry, Dickbutt was there. It was part of the culture from day one. Okay, so you're saying Dickbutt is NOG? Dickbutt is absolutely no G, Karen. I've been in crypto since 2012. I've seen projects come and go, hype cycles, billion dollar collapses, founders disappearing overnight. Dickbutt has been consistently delivering laughs since the Bush administration. No pivot, no rebrand, no Dickbutt 2.0. Just the same ridiculous image, still making people smile almost 20 years later. You're genuinely passionate about this. Because it represents something real. The early internet, 4chan, Reddit, Bitcoin talk, those communities were chaotic and weird, but they were authentic. They were not optimized for engagement metrics. People shared things because they were funny, not because an algorithm told them to. Dickbutt is a relic of that era. It's permissionless humor. permissionless humor. That's a new one. Think about it, Tim. Nobody approved Dick Butt, no committee, no content moderation team. It just existed and spread because people genuinely liked it. That's the same energy that launched Bitcoin. That's the same energy that built the early internet. We've lost some of that, and I think Dick Butt reminds us what we're fighting to preserve. Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO and Internet Historian. Thank you for joining us. You know what? He made it make sense. I'm not saying I agree that the man built a case. I just pulled that Bitcoin talk from 2011. He's not wrong. DicBot is literally in there. Magic DicBot money, I guess. Stay with us." --- ## Contributing Accounts - `@brotendies` (https://x.com/brotendies)
