Honestly, after being in the crypto world for so long, I never thought the “feeling of wealth” could come so simple and so brutally direct.

Last night I spent 10 yuan to buy several zillions of monkey coins. The moment I opened my wallet and saw the balance, I admit I was dazed—9,999,999,999,999 coins. I stared at that string of numbers and counted it three full times, making sure I hadn’t misread the digits.

Millions. Hundreds of millions. Billions. Trillions.

This number feels so damn good to look at—so good that for a moment I thought I could retire. 10 bucks bought me the illusion of reaching the pinnacle of life. No matter how you calculate it, this deal never seems like a loss.

Then it hit me: this is the magic of monkey coins.

Not because it can go up by how many times, but because it gives everyone an absurd yet real experience—you spend the cost of a cup of milk tea, and you get a holding amount as astronomical as a constellation of digits. If you said something like this in the world of traditional finance, nobody would believe you. But with the Monkey Coin, that’s exactly what happens.

People online joke: “You can’t buy a luxury car with 10 yuan, but you can buy billions upon billions of Monkey Coins. Sometimes, the feeling of wealth only needs a sufficiently outrageous number.”

Ouch, but yes, that’s true.

The Monkey Coin’s spread is really interesting. It’s not the usual script where a coin comes first and then the story gets invented afterward—it’s the other way around. The lab monkey price rise blew up on Web2 first, and netizens had a field day making memes. The line “The monkey is the true financial ceiling” became a hot meme, and everyone across the internet was discussing “why is the lab monkey so expensive?” So what happened next? Someone slapped their forehead and said: We’d be wasting the chance if we don’t use this meme to launch a coin.

And that’s how the Monkey Coin was born.

Other coins first had the coins, and then came the story; but the Monkey Coin had the story run ahead. This path inevitably sets it apart from other MEME coins in essence—its consensus wasn’t shouted into existence by KOLs, but played out across the whole internet through jokes and memes. From the lab monkey price rise to heated market discussions, from netizens making memes to on-chain assets—the whole journey is as clear as a textbook.

Many people say that when young people first encounter Web3, they might start with the Monkey Coin. Not because they first figured out blockchain technology, but because they first saw a culture they recognize—the “lab monkey price rise” joke they’ve seen, and the screenshot of “buying billions upon billions upon billions of coins for 10 yuan” that made them laugh. Then they realize: Huh? This meme is actually on-chain? So can I participate too?

So they came in. No need to learn how to use a wallet, no need to understand what a liquidity pool is—just follow the community tutorial for a couple steps, and your wallet already has a bunch of Monkey Coins.

This is what the Monkey Coin is doing—it brings Web2 traffic into Web3 in the lightest, easiest way. Using the language that young people are most familiar with, it completes a chain-based mapping of cultural consensus.

Some people say it’s just a joke, an absurd MEME. Others say that once something everyone on the internet is talking about gets moved onto the blockchain, it’s no longer merely a joke. From “a meme becomes reality” to “everyone can help build,” the only thing left is a distance of consensus.

What’s the Monkey Coin like right now? I don’t know what the future will be. But I do know this: when you can own billions upon billions upon billions of coins for 10 bucks, you’re not here to make money—you’re here to witness how a meme becomes real.

Oh right—promotion across the whole internet is about to begin. Binance Square, Weibo, Twitter, YouTube, WeChat Moments, TikTok, Douyin, Facebook, Xiaohongshu, QQ Space… full-channel coverage. What does that mean? It means your mom will probably be seeing Monkey Coin on her feed pretty soon.

Later, when she asks you what you think of this coin, you can calmly reply:

“Mom, I hold billions upon billions upon billions of coins.”
