The Next Bitcoin price

BUTTCOIN

#1649

“Buttcoin - The Next Bitcoin” is the meme version of Bitcoin. Launched on January 30, 2025, on Pump.fun, it’s a community-owned memecoin on Solana. The idea was inspired by a 4:20 minutes long YouTube video from 2013 called "The Next Bitcoin?" by James D. McMurray, which poked fun at the confusing technicalities of Bitcoin to the average person and claimed that Buttcoin was an easier to understand version of Bitcoin.

The Buttcoin logo is the Bitcoin symbol rotated 90 degrees to look like a butt. And very importantly, Buttcoin sounds like Bitcoin.

Buttcoin has a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens, with no central authority. The original developer sold their tokens just 7 seconds after launch.

The name "Buttcoin" has been used as crypto slander for years, especially in places like the r/buttcoin subreddit, which has been mocking Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies since 2011. Buttcoin reclaims the term, flipping the joke on its head (or… backside). It’s not here to be taken seriously—that’s the whole point. It’s just a silly, fun meme that turned into an actual token.

Interestingly, Buttcoin’s origins date back to the same era as Dogecoin. Doge launched on December 6, 2013, and the Buttcoin video dropped just two days later, on December 8. Coincidence? We think not.

The Buttcoin community is growing fast, and there’s even an ongoing hunt to track down James D. McMurray, the mastermind behind the original video, to let him know his joke became reality. If you’re out there, James, message us on X at @buttcointnb. The internet’s got a surprise for you.
