Headline: “Peepeepoopoo” Goes Viral — Pseudonymous Crypto Figure Hits Back as Fans Mint Meme Coins Using Their Persona
An anonymous X (formerly Twitter) commentator known as “peepeepoopoo” set off a wave of dark humor and exasperation across Crypto Twitter on March 24 after revealing that strangers were minting meme coins tied to their online persona — and then scamming each other with those tokens — all without the account’s consent.
“They’re making fucking shitcoins out of me and scamming each other with it,” wrote @DeepDishEnjoyer, whose post drew some 50,500 views within hours. The account, a Boston-based pseudonymous commentator and Substack writer who styles themself a “globalist” macro skeptic, has about 40,100 followers and is known for bearish market takes rather than token promotion. In a reply thread the owner deadpanned about their role in crypto commentary: “I am more of a Jerome Powell figure, trying to independently dampen the market through guidance, and the cryptobulls are very mad at me for it.”
The incident highlights two recurring features of the meme-coin era: easy token creation on Solana-based platforms and the cringe-worthy cycle of hype, pump and rug. The account had previously issued a joke token under the ticker $THATSIT while explicitly warning followers it was worthless — “I told everyone it’s worth $0 and not to buy it.” That didn’t stop traders, reportedly in China, from treating it as an AI-related play and pumping it to a roughly $2.6 million market cap before it collapsed.
Now multiple tokens carrying the “peepeepoopoo” brand are circulating on pump.fun and PumpSwap. At the time of writing one PP variant showed a market cap near $7,400 with a 149.76% 24-hour gain, while a PPPP variant was listed on CoinGecko with an approximate $47,000 market cap. None of these are affiliated with @DeepDishEnjoyer.
Platforms like pump.fun make this possible. On Solana, pump.fun allows anyone to create a token for under $2, with no identity checks and no safeguards to stop someone deploying a coin using another person’s name, likeness, or online persona. That structural openness — for better or worse — is why the complaint landed as both comic and instructive: the platform is neutral on consent. “At least nobody with a soul will get hurt,” @DeepDishEnjoyer quipped in a follow-up, acknowledging the often callous behavior of traders chasing quick gains.
This pattern has repeated with higher-profile persona tokens as well: Caitlyn Jenner’s JENNER token briefly hit a $20 million market cap before its developer sold out, and a slew of influencer-adjacent coins have followed the same predictable trajectory of hype, pump, and rug pull.
Wider implications are clear. The ease of creating persona-linked tokens raises questions about identity misuse, retail vulnerability, and whether platforms should add verification, take-down mechanisms, or other guardrails. For now, the market keeps minting — and sometimes scamming — at scale.
Market note: Solana (SOL) was trading at $92.17, up 3.29% over the past 24 hours.
