Hoskinson Turns Down An Offer For His Pig NIKE

During a recent AMA session, Hoskinson shared that he was offered $3 million for his pig Nike, but he turned it down, calling it “a priceless pig” and “still a good pig.” 

The clip quickly went viral, fueling laughs and love across the crypto community. It wasn’t just about the pig, it showcased Charles’s personality and the kind of quirky, human moments that can unexpectedly influence the crypto world. One funny tweet, and a new token is born. 

The Rise of NIKE Coin

In June 2024, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson had casually posted a fun tweet featuring his pet pig, Nike, and the internet did what it does best. Within hours, the post sparked the birth of a memecoin called NIKE, which caught a lot of attention in the Cardano Community.

In just 12 hours, the token hit nearly $1 million in market cap. The rise of NIKE sparked mixed reactions across the crypto world. Some saw it as fun and full of profit potential, while others criticised how wild and speculative crypto can be. It is currently trading at $0.003131, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $1.5 million.

Hoskinson was also surprised, as he posted, “I’m at a loss that a picture of my pig has resulted in a memecoin that is nearly at a million dollars in under 12 hours.”

Memecoins: Wild, Fun, and Unpredictable

This was just another incident in the crypto space that shows how memecoins can be as wild and unpredictable as ever. It turned into a fun, fully community-led project with a fair launch, with no tokens set aside for insiders. Their roadmap includes NFT staking, DAO voting, and a pig-themed game called BomberPig.

Hoskinson’s NIKE pig coin has also joined other viral meme tokens like Iggy Azalea’s $MOTHER and Andrew Tate’s $DADDY.
