Solana has finally welcomed a true meme that rolled in from outside the circle.
Not a KOL issuing a coin first and then tattooing a QR code on themselves.
But a raccoon from Seattle, whose body seems to have been compressed by life:
Jimothy.
In the past week, it has become popular in the real world.
There are murals, fan games, stickers, and it even made an appearance at a Seattle Mariners event.
Axios also specifically followed up with a report yesterday.
The on-chain aspect is just a latecomer.
This is the correct growth sequence for an out-of-circle meme:
First, there is a main character that everyone can understand.
Then, there is a continuous stream of secondary creations.
Finally, funding turns attention into price.
Not the other way around, where a contract is deployed first, and then ten KOLs write a family tree for the air.
The reaction on-chain has also been very direct.
JIMOTHY launched on Bybit Alpha yesterday.
As of this afternoon, the main pool's market value is about 17 million dollars, with over 11 million dollars in transactions in the past 24 hours.
The market is indeed experiencing FOMO.
So the most interesting part of this matter is not "how much it has risen today."
But rather that it has finally answered a question:
What is a true out-of-circle meme?
It’s not about people in the crypto circle moved by a picture.
But rather that new content is generated every day outside the circle, and the crypto circle is only responsible for chasing trends.
What really needs to be observed next is whether the heat from outside can continue.
Are there any new reports, murals, competition interactions, and secondary creations?
If the real world continues to write stories for Jimothy, the on-chain will still have fuel.
If in the end there’s only the crypto circle exchanging images, shouting slogans, and staring at K-line charts, this raccoon will quickly be knocked back to an ordinary zoo.
True strong memes have never relied on the crypto circle to spread the story.
Rather, the story has already exploded outside, and the crypto circle only drags its wallet to catch up.
I have a position, and it's a bit high now, everyone DYOR!
