We've all heard of the cryptocurrency named after a dog, but a dog named after a cryptocurrency? In a move very few people would have cared to anticipate, a Redditor has named his dog Bitcoin, after the cryptocurrency—Bitcoin.
Taking to Reddit yesterday evening, one crypto aficionado posted a picture holding Bitcoin (the dog, not the digital asset—see it’s confusing already). Seeing the opportunity for a few mediocre puns, a myriad of Reddit's finest came out in full form to gawk, praise, and wisecrack in equal measure.
"Do you keep Bitcoin on chain or off chain?" wrote a technologically savvy Redditor.
"Watch out for large dumps," replied another, presumably a crypto trader.
Bitcoin isn't the first dog to be named after the pioneering cryptocurrency. In fact, since the 2017 bull run, there seems to have been a spike in doggos dubbed Bitcoin.
"My grandad has named the new dog Bitcoin. F**KING BITCOIN. Are you having a laugh," wrote an outraged Twitteratti in early 2018.

However, if you're sitting there thinking: 'it's still better than naming your kid after Bitcoin,' we have some unfortunate news for you.
In 2017, shortly before Bitcoin's blow-off top, a Crimean couple called their newborn son "Bitcoin." According to the boy's father, the naming was done in "gratitude to the crypto industry."
Still, anything beats X Æ A-12...
BitMine Immersion shares were up slightly in Tuesday trading, a day after Cathie Wood's ARK Invest purchased $182 million of the Ethereum treasury company's stock, among the latest evidence of the rising interest in ETH-focused investments. BitMine Immersion (BMNR) was trading at about $40.77 per share, according to Yahoo Finance, rising more than 3% on the day. The company's share price has spiked 827% over the past month as the Peter Thiel-backed company has plowed into its Ethereum accumulati...
The XRP Army is a passionate bunch. After the Ripple-linked cryptocurrency set a new all-time high price last Thursday—the first time it had done so in over seven years, according to CoinGecko—some staunch XRP supporters told Decrypt they weren’t happy, but angry instead. The irritation comes as a result of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s long-running legal battle, which some XRP Army members believe stunted the cryptocurrency's growth. “We are fucking furious about waiting SEVEN F...
Hackers have infected more than 3,500 websites with stealthy cryptomining scripts that quietly hijack visitors' browsers to generate Monero, a privacy-focused crypto designed to make transactions more difficult to trace. The malware doesn't steal passwords or lock files. Instead, it quietly turns visitors' browsers into Monero mining engines, siphoning small amounts of processing power without user consent. The campaign, still active as of this writing, was first uncovered by researchers at cyb...
