The most righteous episode.
Written by: TechFlow
Good morning, distinguished PNUT holders.
It’s another day to wake up to the rise of PNUT. While congratulations (and jealousy) to the distinguished PNUT holders, FOMO emotions flood the market today.
If you take a closer look at the sector structure, you'll see that the overall market is trending slightly lower today, but Meme is riding high.
Among them, PNUT and FRED are bound to attract attention. The former’s market value quickly exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars, which is impressive, and the latter also started its own growth after launching Moonshot.
Of course, PNUT needs no further introduction. It was born out of a controversial incident: an internet celebrity squirrel was captured and euthanized without adequate communication, which gradually turned into a battle to seek animal protection and express reasonable demands. Political controversy.
Likewise, FRED was created to commemorate the second squirrel found dead, "Frederick."
On the other side of the ocean, politics means attention; at the core of the narrative, animals also seem to reflect the protection of self-power.
The superposition of external attention and internal narrative core will inevitably lead to the spillover of FOMO emotions after the emergence of divine disks. Those with too high funds to get on board are also looking for similar narratives and themes.
So, today we see that this “animal rescue” narrative has gradually spawned new Meme coins, trying to use different specific hot events to create new waves after PNUT’s Squirrel War.
Jorgie: Monkey taken away by the police ($Jorgie)
At the scene of a seemingly ordinary car accident in Dallas, the police accidentally discovered a spider monkey named "Jorgie Boy". The monkey belonged to local Internet celebrity Brandi Botello. However, this unexpected car accident caused her and her beloved pet to be separated. Forced separation.
After an examination, authorities found that Jorgie Boy was malnourished and underweight, The Dallas News reported. What's more, keeping monkeys privately in the Dallas area is illegal in itself. Based on animal welfare considerations, the police immediately made the decision to remove Jorgie Boy from the scene.
The incident also caused an uproar on social media, and Jorgie's owner Brandi immediately launched the "Free Jorgie Boy" campaign to try to draw public attention to the incident.
At the same time, this matter has also been widely discussed in the Tesla owner community, and some people are also posting that they hope Musk can see the story about Jorgie. It is worth mentioning that Musk is indeed paying attention to this Tesla community, but no one can predict whether he can respond to the monkey incident.
It is against this expectation and background that multiple Jorgie-themed tokens came into being yesterday, and a battle between upper and lower case was also staged:
AND Jorgie:

Suspected Cabal Jorgie:
AMgMqadZ7Qpe9PCQwehAG3Xbg5cf8JxCxH7sGCSupump 15M
However, market participants made their own choices. Although the community has been supporting and calling for the old OG Jorgie, the price is faltering as of press time; while the conspiracy group Jorgie seems to have escaped, with a current market value of around 15M, but the trading volume and number of holders on that day were very high.
I don’t know if the monkey can be saved. It’s a conspiracy of the degens to take advantage of the FOMO of the squirrel not getting on the bus.
Free Shayne Coplan (Eagle): Petition after Polymarket founder was arrested
Free Shayne Coplan:
AyxrBmqbzf169oe14XcSDMbgpUV1ntP6thcScYpYpump
Current market value: 37M
Free Shayne Coplan is another hot Meme coin today, but it goes deeper than simple animal rescue and has a bit of a "meaning of ambition" flavor.
The avatar of the token is an eagle, and this is not as simple as an eagle being caught and needing to be released. The back points to Shayne Coplan, the founder of Polymarket, a platform that shines in election predictions.
Shayne Coplan's home was raided by the FBI today.
At the same time, Bloomberg revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice is investigating the company, pointing to the illegal provision of Polymarket services to U.S. users.
The FBI raid triggered a strong response in the cryptocurrency community. Supporters launched the "Free Shayne" movement and created related tokens to show solidarity. This phenomenon is quite similar to the recent “Free Jorgie Boy” incident, reflecting the crypto community’s sensitive response to regulatory actions.
From a broader perspective, the incident highlights the ongoing regulatory pressure faced by the cryptocurrency industry, especially when it comes to sensitive areas such as prediction markets and online gambling. Polymarket has previously had contact with the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) over compliance issues and has shown "substantial cooperation."
Currently, the entire crypto community is paying close attention to developments. This story that started in the prediction market and evolved into a law enforcement action has also made the corresponding Meme the focus of attention in the current bull market environment;
What’s more worth mentioning is that the logo of the FSC coin is an eagle. The eagle itself is also an element of Shayne Coplan's avatar. At the same time, the eagle is also a symbol of the United States itself. It is a pun and full of irony about censorship.
To stir up more attention, Shayne tweeted that this was "obvious political revenge" and that the current administration would go after companies they believed were connected to political opponents...Polymarket harmed no one.
Musk immediately replied in Shayne's comment area: "Indeed."
This undoubtedly brings more factors worthy of attention to this layer of Meme coins.
Anti-censorship and freedom will always be the correct narrative in the encryption circle. With the superimposed celebrity factor, the clamor for releasing the eagle means releasing Shayne will probably continue for a while.
Risk warning: MEME has no actual value support and is greatly affected by market sentiment. Most (more than 99%) MEME is PVP and will eventually return to zero. This article is only shared as a personal experience and does not constitute any investment advice.
