TLDR
- A new Dypto Crypto-themed meme coin called “Internet Money Thingys” can be found on Pump.fun.
- It’s inspired by one of Peter’s recent YouTube videos.
- The really funny thing is that we didn’t make it. So, of course, we have say that nothing here is intended to be financial advice in any way, shape, or form. Invest in meme tokens (no matter how cool they are) at your own risk.
Meme coins have taken the crypto world by storm. What started as a lighthearted experiment with coins like Dogecoin has turned into a full-blown cultural phenomenon.
Now, meme coins are a staple of internet culture, embodying creativity, fun, and a touch of financial chaos. Recently, something hilarious (and kind of awesome) happened that we didn’t see coming.
A mystery crypto enthusiast created a Dypto Crypto-themed meme coin after our founder, Peter, posted a video referring to meme coins as “Internet Money Thingys”. Spoiler alert: That someone wasn’t us — but we thought it was hilarious and we’re all for it. Here’s the story.
What Exactly Is the “Dypto Crypto” Meme Coin?
“Internet Money Thingys” is a meme coin created on Pump.fun, the Solana-based crypto launchpad known for its user-friendly token creation.
Pump.fun gives users the power to create tokens instantly and trade them on the platform or, for the ambitious ones, scale their tokens onto decentralized exchanges in a process called “graduation.” While meme coins are famously known for having “no utility” outside of speculation, they’ve become a vibrant space for community-driven projects and creative chaos.
The story behind this one is tied to one of Peter’s videos where he casually referred to meme coins as “Internet Money Thingys.” It happens right around the 20-minute mark.

Someone in the Pump.fun community fully embraced the comment, turned it into a coin, and chaos ensued. With the internet being the internet, it wasn’t long before the coin gained hype, generating $10 million in volume and sparking conversations across platforms like X.
For the record, we had NO hand in creating the meme coin, but watching the community rally around it has been an absolute blast.
Pump.fun and the Crypto Adventure
If you’ve never heard of Pump.fun, here’s the gist:
- A Launchpad for Memes – Pump.fun was designed for crypto enthusiasts to create and experiment with all kinds of tokens. It caters to meme coins, like Internet Money Thingys, which thrive off humor, reliability, and online culture.
- Instant and Free Creation – With Pump.fun, you don’t need to know how to code or have a fancy background in blockchain development. Anyone can hop on, create a token, and list it on the platform within minutes. Yes, it’s that simple.
- High Failure Rates, High Rewards – Most of the meme coins created on Pump.fun (or anywhere, really) won’t make it far. Success stories are rare, but they capture the essence of what makes meme coins fascinating. They’re for the brave, the creative, and often, the hilariously reckless.
Since its launch in January 2024, Pump.fun has hosted over 6 million tokens, making it one of the fastest-growing crypto apps by some metrics.
Why Did Internet Money Thingys Go Viral?
We have no idea. Hah. Peter’s accidental naming of meme coins as “Internet Money Thingys” must have struck a chord with crypto enthusiasts who live and breathe memes.
The act of creating a token tied to the phrase was the perfect way for the community to show support while joining in on the joke.
Who Made It?
Great question. Honestly, we have no idea.
And that’s one of the coolest things about meme coins. They often spring from the community itself, letting ideas spontaneously form and evolve into full-fledged projects.
While the coin was clearly inspired by Peter’s video, the mystery creator took that tiny spark and built something the community resonated with. To whoever you are out there, hats off to you. Not only is there an X community, but a website has popped up (we’re still working on verifying that, so no link) and apparently a Telegram channel as well.
Here are a few tweets from the community that really made us proud to be part of Dypto Crypto:
Why We’re Flattered (and Why It Matters)
The success of Internet Money Thingys speaks volumes about the crypto community’s creativity and passion. It also shows how platforms like Pump.fun can amplify that creativity by making technology accessible to everyone, regardless of their technical skills or background.
Here’s why moments like this matter:
- They Bring Attention to the Space – For better or worse, meme coins get people talking about crypto. A viral creation like this one can introduce new users to crypto in a fun, low-stakes way.
- They Celebrate Community – Crypto isn’t just about tokens and transactions. It’s about the people rallying behind ideas, laughing together, and pushing boundaries.
- They Remind Us Why We’re Here – At its core, crypto is about decentralization and freedom. The mystery behind who created Dypto Crypto echoes the ethos of early internet culture, where anonymity and collective effort drove innovation.
Before jumping on this, or any, meme coin trend, remember the golden rule of crypto and memes: Invest responsibly. Meme coins are fun, unpredictable, and explosive, but also incredibly risky. Don’t put in more than you’re willing to lose.
