Back in March 2014 on Bitcointalk, a dev named “Mr-alex” was about to launch his coin when someone in the comments pointed out that the ticker MMC was already taken.

In true early crypto fashion, he said f*ck it and changed the name on the spot — because “my cat name is mimi”.

That random, chaotic name change instantly turned it into a meme. He renamed it Mimicoin, posted the announcement with the happy cat logo, added a bounty for cat pictures, and called it a day.

Then… complete silence for 12 whole years.

The project vanished. The original logo disappeared from the internet after TinyPic was taken down. The thread went dead… until now.

The original logo can be traced back deep in the official Github (use button below and search “splash”)

Mimicoin is the real OG 2014 Bitcointalk cat coin — born from a spontaneous “my cat named Mimi” moment and one of the most beautifully stupid name changes in crypto history.

12 years later, the silence ends. Mimi is finally getting her bag on Pump.fun.

We decided to send him 100% of the Pumpfun fees. What if he catches wind of Mimicoin in 2026? What if a community member actually tracks him down? What if he never re-appears and the fees just disappear into the abyss forever?

Every great experiment needs an Achilles heel. This is ours
