Crypto X's "peepeepoopoo" goes viral as fans mint meme coins off their persona

Summary

  • Anonymous crypto commentator @DeepDishEnjoyer, known online as “peepeepoopoo,” went viral on March 24 after calling out degens for minting meme coins based on their persona and using them to scam each other, in a post that racked up 50,500 views, 582 likes, and 19 retweets.
  • The account, a self-described bearish macro voice with 40,100 followers and a Substack based in Boston, Massachusetts, previously created a joke token called $THATSIT — explicitly telling everyone it was worth $0 — only to watch it pump to a $2.6 million market cap after Chinese traders mistook it for an artificial intelligence coin.
  • Multiple “peepeepoopoo”-branded tokens now exist on pump.fun, with at least one PP variant reaching a market cap of $7,400 within 24 hours, illustrating how the platform’s frictionless token creation continues to feed a cycle of persona-based speculation and scams.

An anonymous crypto commentator who goes by “peepeepoopoo” on X ignited a wave of dark humor and genuine frustration across Crypto Twitter on March 24 after posting that strangers were minting meme coins off their online identity and then scamming each other with them — without any involvement or consent from the account itself. “They’re making fucking shitcoins out of me and scamming each other with it,” wrote @DeepDishEnjoyer, whose post accumulated 50,500 views within hours of publication.

The post struck a nerve precisely because the person behind it is not a celebrity or a major protocol figure — they are a pseudonymous, self-described “globalist” macro skeptic with a Substack, based in Boston, Massachusetts. With 40,100 followers and a persona built around bearish market commentary, the account had not actively promoted any token. In reply threads, @DeepDishEnjoyer framed their role in crypto discourse in deadpan terms: “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 irony runs deeper. The account previously created a joke token under the ticker $THATSIT, explicitly warning followers: “I told everyone it’s worth $0 and not to buy it.” Despite that disclaimer, the token was discovered by Chinese traders who, apparently noting that the creator was mutuals with prominent accounts in the artificial intelligence space, pumped it on the assumption it was an AI-related project. $THATSIT reached a market cap of $2.6 million before collapsing.

A Pattern That’s Become Routine

The dynamic playing out around @DeepDishEnjoyer is not isolated Celebrity persona tokens have become a recurring feature of pump.fun’s ecosystem — from Caitlyn Jenner’s JENNER token, which briefly hit a $20 million market cap before its developer dumped all holdings, to a wave of influencer-adjacent coins that follow an increasingly predictable arc: hype, pump, rug. What distinguishes the “peepeepoopoo” situation is that the original account is actively mocking the process in real time, broadcasting its own victimization from a position of complete detachment.

Multiple tokens bearing the “peepeepoopoo” branding now circulate on pump.fun and PumpSwap, including one PP variant that reached a $7,400 market cap with a 149.76% 24-hour gain at the time of writing, and a PPPP variant previously listed on CoinGecko with a market cap equivalent to approximately $47,000. Neither is affiliated with @DeepDishEnjoyer.

A Frictionless Factory for Scams

The broader context matters. Pump.fun allows anyone to create a Solana token for less than $2, with no identity verification and no mechanism to prevent someone from deploying a coin under another person’s name, likeness, or online persona. That structural reality is what makes the complaint from @DeepDishEnjoyer both funny and illustrative: the platform is agnostic to consent. “At least nobody with a soul will get hurt,” the account wrote in a follow-up reply — an acknowledgment that the people buying these coins are likely not sympathetic victims.

Solana (SOL) is currently trading at $92.17, up 3.29% over the past 24 hours.
