Crypto Twitter saw an unexpected participant Tuesday as the official account for Warner Bros’ Looney Tunes cartoon franchise tweeted, “elmer asked me if i own any bitcoin like its 2017 or something.”
Baffled? Dumbfounded? Join the party.

Since at least April, the Looney Tunes account has been under the command of an “intern” from ACME, the fictional corporate entity from the classic cartoons, who often shares what could be described as soft-edged shitposts in search of reactions.
It’s an approach that has worked well for other brand accounts, including Sonic the Hedgehog, MoonPie, and Steak-umm, although without that context it’s bound to come across as perplexing... or perhaps a desperate and misguided attempt at cultural relevance from a brand best known for its work more than a half-century ago.
In any case, it can’t help but recall the infamous moment last summer in which the official Chuck E. Cheese brand account waded into crypto Twitter, responding to a tweet about BitcoinBitcoin and Chuck E. Cheese tokens with the comment, “To each his own fake currency…”

Expectedly, not all Bitcoiners took the joke lightly. And ultimately, probably due more to the pandemic than annoyed hodlers, Chuck E. Cheese’s parent company filed for bankruptcy this past June and will close stores.
Last month’s high-profile Twitter hack might have only directly impacted the accounts of a small number of celebrities and major brands, as well as the few hapless souls who sent Bitcoin to the listed addresses in the hopes of a large bounty in return. Still, a new survey conducted by Piplsay suggests that the wider impact of the hack has Americans further doubting centralized social media services such as Twitter, particularly ahead of this November’s presidential election. Piplsay polled 20,2...
Twitter user Crypto Cronkite was quick to make the connection with today’s Looney Tunes tweet, replying, “congrats you just cursed yourself, say hi to Chuck E Cheese in hell.”
Good luck in the replies, ACME intern.
Bitcoin is on a historic run, setting a new all-time high above $122,000 just last week. Can Bitcoin bulls keep the momentum going? At the moment, Bitcoin sits just below $120,000, and the question before traders on the Myriad prediction market is: Can Bitcoin hold above $120,000 by the end of the week? On Myriad, a prediction market developed by Decrypt’s parent company Dastan, traders are almost evenly split, but lean slightly bearish, placing the odds at just 47% that BTC holds above the psyc...
The dick pic epidemic might finally have a cure, and it's not another reporting button or blocking feature. It's an AI sex coach. New data from dating app Flirtini reveals that 78% of women have received unsolicited nudes from people they've just matched with. One in six women surveyed said they're simply exhausted from the constant barrage of genital photography flooding their inboxes. Putting aside the claim that only one in six of women is sick of dick pics, the company has a solution: An AI...
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...
