Bitcoin is the original meme coin_

Signal in Disguise

Before Doge or PEPE, before wagmi chants or rug pulls, Bitcoin stood as the first meme coin. Not for silliness, but for its infectious spread through culture rather than boardrooms.

Bitcoin skipped spreadsheets and pitches. It delivered a tale of rebellion and prophecy. Permission was unnecessary. Belief was essential. This work salutes that viral essence, a finance born from symbols, not suits. The Genesis Block fused tech with message: "Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks." No sales talk, just a coded meme.

Bitcoin turned meme into money. It shaped belief into code, code into value, and value into waves. Volatility, skeptics, and forks became part of its legend. Every token since has drawn from its blueprint: hype, wit, aspiration. Bitcoin pioneered it. Bitcoin perfected it.
