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...
Pseudonymous Bitcoin creator Satoshi Nakamoto is now the 11th richest person in the world, as the inventor's BTC portfolio—based on wallets tied to the long-silent crypto icon—has risen above $130 billion, according to Arkham Intelligence. It comes as the leading cryptocurrency has hit a spree of new all-time highs, rising by 14% over the past month. That puts the elusive figure’s net worth above that of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who is worth $117 billion, and Dell Technologies founder Mi...
An Australian man is attempting to break the world record for the “most tattoos of the same name,” while livestreaming the journey on Solana meme coin platform Pump.fun. What name is he tattooing on himself? Pump.fun, of course. The 27-year-old told Decrypt that the world record attempt is part of a broader plan to become a full-time livestreamer with a “virtual tattoo studio.” Zachary Gollan, also known as Donnie Darko on X, has tattooed “Pump.fun” on his arm 415 times as of Thursday morning,...
The U.S. House of Representatives narrowly passed House Resolution 580 with a 217-212 vote on Wednesday, reviving the path forward for three major crypto bills after a record-breaking procedural standoff that stretched nearly 10 hours. Eight conservative Republicans who initially blocked the legislation on Tuesday switched sides after House leadership agreed to attach the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act to the National Defense Authorization Act, ensuring the prohibition would pass with the must...
