Rising Bitcoin meme coin Pups has soared nearly 81% in the last 24 hours, according to CoinGecko. Starting the day at $46.92 before climbing above $86.94, with a Twitter storm to fuel its fire.
Viral crypto trader Ansem has been a vocal supporter of the meme coin that has recently passed a $564,000 market cap. “Study pups,” he posted on Twitter. “Study the first meme coin on the world's oldest blockchain.”
A lot of supporters of the token—as well as the official Pups website—have branded it as “the first meme coin” on Bitcoin. But there’s been some push back on this from people pointing to MEME, and other projects, as the first.
It was a valiant effort but everyone knows the first memecoin on Bitcoin is $meme. It's the first token deployed after Domo created the protocol with the $ordi deploy. $meme even has 2 Ordinal collections one of which is sub 1M. But we like the friendly brc20 competition! pic.twitter.com/9VCLRIdTDK

Ansem acknowledged these projects exist but rejected them as meme coins. “So first only matters when it's funny to you,” a Twitter user responded.
Ansem did not hold back in his colorfully worded retort.
Bitcoin meme coin Pups is up 1,056% for the week, days before the Bitcoin halving and the concurrent launch of the Runes protocol. Pups began the week at $22.50 before surging 44% on Tuesday. With a max supply of 7.7 million, Pups has passed $365 million in market capitalization. While Pups (PUPS) is up over 1,000% and trading at $41.89, according to CoinGecko, the Ordinals inscription project that launched a year ago is up 119,813.7% since the beginning of the year. Pups is the first memecoin...
“Listen u cockmuncher I haven’t seen any other memecoins on BTC I’ve seen words and letters in black & gold text IRDC what you guys wanna call it,” he wrote in a reply.
This backlash led to the team distancing themselves from this narrative saying, “We are the first not first meme coin on Bitcoin.”
We are making a public statement:
We are the first not first memecoin on Bitcoin.

While Pups is currently a BRC-20 token, it will convert to a Rune later this month as the protocol becomes available at the same time as the halving.
“Migrating to [Runes], which is far more decentralized than BRC-20, feels like the Bitcoin way,” a Pups spokesperson told Decrypt. “As the creator of Ordinals builds Runes and is under the protocol itself, it means that everyone indexing [Ordinals] is by default indexing runes tokens themselves.”
This comes after the token skyrocketed 1,056% last week, in anticipation of the Bitcoin halving and the concurrent launch of the Runes protocol—a new Bitcoin token standard designed for shitcoins.

Why did Joseph Maldonado-Passage, better known as Joe Exotic from the viral Netflix docuseries “Tiger King,” debut a meme coin on Solana from prison earlier this week? “I’m knee-deep in lawyer bills,” he told Decrypt in an interview, claiming the endeavor will also benefit children through donations to a nonprofit called Operation Smile. The 62-year-old, who has lived behind bars for seven years, didn’t launch the meme coin himself. Instead, he said his lawyers helped him get “Official Tiger Kin...
Bitcoin swung up and down—as usual—over the last week, and while things were looking up midweek, familiar inflation fears helped sink the price by the time Friday rolled around. The coin's price was recently at $82,480 per coin, according to CoinGecko, after hitting a nearly three-week high of $88,474 on Monday. As of this writing, Bitcoin is now down by almost 2% on the week. Bitcoin's dip came after the U.S. Commerce Department reported Friday that the core Personal Consumption Expenditures Pr...
A high-ranking official in Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's administration declared Tuesday that a potential strategic Bitcoin reserve would be "determinant for our prosperity" and "in the (country’s) public interest." Pedro Giocondo Guerra, chief of staff to Vice President Geraldo Alckmin, made the remarks while officially representing the federal government at a congressional ceremony. Debating the establishment of a sovereign bitcoin reserve rigorously is a matter of public int...
