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...
Ethereum NFT and tokenization protocol Zora will launch its own token—ZORA—this spring. The platform, which says it’s “been on a multiyear journey of the best way to bring creativity on-chain through tokenization,” will launch its self-described meme coin on Base, the Ethereum layer-2 network. “What started as an experiment six years ago has turned into something larger than we could have imagined,” the protocol wrote in a blog post introducing the token. “Thank you to everyone who has realize...
A new governance proposal outlined by Cronos Labs, the team behind the Cronos blockchain linked to prominent cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com, seeks to reissue 70 billion CRO tokens that were previously burned in 2021—and are collectively worth over $5.3 billion today. The proposal was issued in the hopes of using the tokens to form a “Cronos Strategic Reserve,” piggybacking off the potential United States crypto reserve as suggested by President Donald Trump in recent days. The Cronos Strate...
Football legend Ronaldinho Gaúcho’s new official token debuted to a rocky start Sunday, amid concerns around “early snipers” and a “serious security risk.” Launched Sunday exclusively on the BNB chain, Ronaldinho Coin (STAR10) made its debut to fanfare, promising the footballer’s massive global following access to “exclusive experiences, real benefits, signed collectibles, and an AI Agent.” The enthusiasm quickly soured, as the retired footballer’s token saw significant volatility on its launch,...
