In recent times, a curious image of a video game released in 1991 has started circulating, showing a coin that bears a symbol very similar to that of Bitcoin (BTC) — which caught the attention of the internet, since this cryptocurrency was only created in 2009.

The coin in question displays the letter "B" with two vertical strokes, strongly resembling the current logo of Bitcoin. To make everything even more intriguing, the image also shows a rocket, a symbol frequently used by investors these days to indicate that an asset is experiencing strong appreciation. The popular expression “rocket doesn’t reverse” is an example of this usage, suggesting that the value is only likely to rise.

The game in which the image of the coin appears is "Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers", developed by the company Sierra On-Line and released in 1991 for computers. In the story, players take on the role of Roger Wilco, who will have his fourth adventure in the series to confront Sludge Vohaul, an old villain of the character.

The name of the coin that appears in the image is Buckazoid Coin, which explains the fact that it has "B" as a symbol. The two vertical strokes are just a way that has become common to designate money, due to the "$". The image, therefore, is a great coincidence.

However, there is a memecoin called Buckazoid that was created at the end of April this year exactly because of the discovery of the image from the game "Space Quest IV".

It operates on the Solana blockchain and, according to the site CoinGecko, the idea of this memecoin "revolves around the tradition and the speculations regarding the origins of Bitcoin and its founders". According to the price aggregator, the current quote for Buckazoid is US$ 0.0009, a value 80% below its historical high of US$ 0.0049, reached on May 27.
