Vitalik Buterin Sparks Memecoin Craze

Ethereum founder’s tweets have sparked a series of memecoins.

While suggesting a solution to Twitter spam bots, Vitalik mentioned a hypothetical X coin.

Few hours later someone created the X token on the Ethereum and Binance chain.

Earlier this week, two memecoins THE and DIE were also created after Vitalik Buterin’s tweets.

Vitalik even acknowledged what his tweets transpired, saying “What Have I Done.”

Vitalik Buterin seems to be following Elon Musk in creating a memecoin craze.
