It’s pretty much the way of the Internet: everything that was originally posted as throwaway nonsense will eventually come back in a much less pleasant form. Pepe the frog will get turned into a Nazi, I can has cheezeburger will get turned into a corporate brand, you’ll find out the guy who posted some goofy meme from a decade ago has died or been arrested, etc. etc.
To invert Marx: everything on the Internet recurs, first as farce, then as tragedy.
Might I suggest something like “first as lulz, then as cringe” to keep with the internet theme?
I just found out Sokwo Lee has issued his own BFMCoin.
Is it time yet for…CleveCoin?
How about KoontzCoin?

He might fight a niche audience among fellow Neanderthals.
There is no such thing as a cryptocurrency too dumb for anyone to buy it.
I had great expectation on this coin.

On a tangent I did a little check up on bunker boy and earlier this year he announced in a post on the silly rpg forum that he was working on a new game “STONES OF ARNHEM”.
Big news, but I hope this does take development resources away from Atomic War, Containment Facility, Post-Atomic, Vaxxination, Cyclopean Chasms and of course Grimoire 2. I’m sure I forgot a few.

Ancient internet history. There was this hilarious nutjob on the old usenet rpg group who spent years claiming he was making the ultimate spiritual successor to the Wizardry games. He’d make announcements, starting at least as early as 1995, that his game was in beta and soon to be released and it would have 600+ hours of gameplay and be the best thing ever and shame all his critics. Of course he spent more time writing crazy rants and responding with even more crazy rants to any detractors on usenet than actually developing. Oh yeah, and talking about the bunker he was building in Australia to live through the collapse of society in. There were tales of his incredible physique. Taxis would simply bounce off him. Tales of hidden history, like how musket balls during the revolutionary war were actually the size on softballs. There was of course a whole lot of racism. All punctuated with constant bragging of his godlike prowess as a software developer and how he makes incredible money as a computer consultant and still has time to deliver a huge game even better than Wizardry and bigger than anyone could imagine in his spare time faster than anyone could ever believe.
So, 20 years later he had to abandon the bunker due to mold issues, but he did actually produce a kind of glorious absolutely fucking mess of a wizardry clone. After all this time he still enjoys his favorite hobbies of talking up his godlike development skills, insulting doubters, and announcing games that have little chance of ever being developed.
If you want a giant rabbit hole of cringe you can look up Cleve Blakemore on google groups.
Plus he was right here on Quartertothree until he got banned.
This is sure to revolutionise property affordability!
I’ve always wanted to pay for my downpayments and mortgages using a digital wallet instead of a bank account! /s
