Do trolls influence crypto?
SPONSORED POST*
The value of cryptocurrencies has been influenced by the opinions of high-profile figures and celebrities. For example, Tesla founder Elon Musk has been somewhat responsible for the rise in popularity of Dogecoin (DOGE) when he publicly endorsed it on Twitter in early 2021. The ethos of influential figures dictating crypto is particularly true of the meme coin sector, which they often focus on on building community and having satirical branding.
However, there is a dark side of the internet where derogatory content and comments are posted on web posts, blogs, videos and forums to insult, upset or actively attack someone. The term to describe people responsible for these actions is “Internet trolls”. Ironically, internet memes on which meme coins are based lead to online trolling, as they often ridicule a particular person or group of people.
This behavior has now spilled over into the crypto world, where Tamadoge (TAMA) co-founder Carl Dawkins publicly denounced Big Eyes Coin (BIG). But where does Dawkins’ beef with the Big Eyes Coin come from?
The story of Tamadoge and Big Eyes Coin
Tamadoge (TAMA) is a cryptocurrency that combines the mass appeal of the meme coin with the increasingly popular play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model. They claim to be the gateway to the Tamaverse, allowing users to breed and imprint their Tamadoge pet in the metaverse.
Everyone will be able to imprint the dogs of their choice thanks to Tamadoge, which also enables users to breed, train and battle their Tamadoge NFTs to dominate the leaderboard every month. Your NFT will be able to play with their friends in the Tamaverse when the game-to-earn options eventually expand to include augmented reality activities. Tamadoge represents not only the future of the Doge ecosystem, but also the future of playing to earn.
In contrast, Big Eyes Coin is a crypto that aims to move wealth into the decentralized ecosystem while protecting an important part of the world’s environment by donating 5% of its tokens in circulation to ocean-based conservation institutions.
BIG is also unique by having a cat with big eyes, drawing inspiration from Japanese culture and being designed in a manga/anime style. BIG also has plans to launch an original NFT collection where content producers can market their wares. When this collection hits the top 10 markets, all profits from these NFTs will go to a burn-or-no-burn vote.
Which Meme Coin Is The Real Copycat?
As previously mentioned, Tamadoge co-founder Carl Dawkins accused Big Eyes Coin of being a scam. Dawkins went so far as to create a nearly twenty-minute long YouTube video questioning the legitimacy of BIG and claiming that it was copying Tamadoge.
Although he claimed that Big Eyes Coin had a “1% chance of not being a scam”, the cat coin has been audited and verified by CoinSniper KYC. Furthermore, Dawkins also states that Big Eyes Coin followed the branding strategies like Tamadoge, which is hard to understand as BIG branding is in significant contrast to what meme coins traditionally do by using a cat as a figurehead. Tamadoge follows the meme coin norm by revolving around a dog, which tokens like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Floki Inu all do.
Additionally, the functions of the two blockchain networks are completely different. Tamadoge uses the play-to-earn feature to motivate players to earn crypto through playing video games. In contrast, Big Eyes Coin draws its token holders through its champion of sustainability by running on the Ethereum network while donating tokens in circulation to a dedicated charity wallet.
Final thoughts
As long as the internet continues to exist, so will trolls. If you are a thriving blockchain network like Big Eyes Coin, then it is inevitable that you will receive negative publicity from your competitors. But all publicity is good publicity. Carl Dawkins’ attempt to misinform the public about BIG may ironically lead to an increase in popularity.
