Welcome back to another edition of the 13th Hour! Where it’s all meme news all the time.

We’ve got a lot to get to today so let’s not waste any time!

Today’s Topics:
😳 New token launchpad “Boop” takes the trenches by storm.
🥷 Elon non-stop shills “gork” memecoin… but it can’t even break $100M?
🐶 Here’s what you get when you combine “Chill guy” and “Housecoin”

Oh and here’s a stud pic of the Timekeeper just to remind you that this is the sexiest meme newsletter in the universe.

The Timekeeper: “Sup nerds”

Boom baby, the one and only.

Alright let’s dive in!

🥞 PancakeSwap Founder Launches PumpFun Competitor Boop.fun

Nothing says “we’re back” better than new memecoin launchpads. And while plenty have been tried in the past, last week we got one from a crypto OG: The founder of PancakeSwap.

In case you weren’t around last cycle, PancakeSwap was one of the darling projects of what was known as “DeFi summer” — basically the trenches of 2021.

Anyway, last week the founder pops out of nowhere with a new memecoin platform called Boop.fun. It works pretty similarly to PumpFun. You basically create a coin and after a certain market cap it graduates to Raydium.

But here’s the neat part: Every coin that graduates gives a portion of its trading fees and even the token itself to holders of the BOOP token. This means BOOP appreciates in value the more tokens are launched on the platform — basically imagine if PumpFun had a coin.

So what has been the result? Well it’s been going pretty well... The token is worth over 300 million dollars!

We’re back? I think so!

But of course, no launch in crypto is complete without some drama. This time it’s controversy around the supposed identity of the founder, or more specifically his credentials. Apparently his status as “ex-CRO of Binance” is under dispute.

But even if the founder is fielding allegations, the BoopFun platform is legit. We’ve tried it out and there are already countless memecoins launching there.

Is this the future of the trenches? We’re going to find out…

🎺 Elon Shills Memecoin to… Crickets?

It’s no secret that Elon has been one of the main benefactors of the trenches. He’s shilled countless memecoins, helped valorize PNUT the squirrel all the way to a $2.5B valuation, and no one (except maybe the venerable DJT) has quite as much pull as Elon.

But is Elon’s stardom starting to fade?

Over the last few days he’s been non-stop shilling the “gork” memecoin. It’s basically a brainrot, meme version of “Grok” — X’s AI assistant tool.

The shilling has gone beyond just a post or two. Elon changed his profile picture AND his username to reference the meme…

…And yet the chart can’t even break $100M?

Man.

Maybe we aren’t as back as we really thought?

The Timekeeper: “Can’t really vibe with that attitude man, the trenches are only ever as back as you are.”

You’re right, Timekeeper, you’re right. Just because an Elon tweet doesn’t pull a $1B market cap anymore doesn’t mean there are any fewer opportunities.

But people are noticing!

What do you think? Just a sign of the times evolving or does this reflect a deeper insecurity in the markets?

Once again, time will tell!

…

I said, “Time will tell!”

Get it? “Time?” It will “tell?” Like our newsletter, the 13th Hour, will tell you what the market is doing?

The Timekeeper: “You’re losing us subscribers man”

Ugh. Yeah you’re right Timekeeper, let me just stick to the charts.

🏡 + 🐶 Chill House: Combining Two Memecoin Legends Into a Brand New Chart

What do you get when the trenches are kind of dry?

Low on-chain activity? Two quarters of negative GDP growth? A growing subscriber list to The 13th Hour as people are bored and looking for something to read?

What about a brand new memecoin recycling — I mean — reimagining two other, previously successful memecoins?

Yep, say hello to “Chill House.” It’s a combination of Chill Guy and Housecoin. And it’s at $6M as of the time of this writing.

PumpFun soft shill anyone?

If this starts a meme combination meta… I guess be on the lookout for the craziest combos.

“Unicorn Fartcoin Dust” anyone?

“TRUMP WIF FWOG?”

The Timekeeper: “Retardio.”

Oh, yeah that’s a good one! Combined with what, Timekeeper?

The Timekeeper: “Retardio.”

…just retardio?

The Timekeeper:

Right, “retardio” we get it. Free Mitch and all.

Aaaand that’s a wrap for today!

Thank you for tuning in to another amazing edition of The 13th Hour!

We’ll be back for more meme madness a bit later this week. In the meantime keep track of the predictions we make and see how many of them come true.

After all, only time will tell.

Right?

Time. Will. Tell?

hehe

The Timekeeper: "I’m going to take this newsletter away from you.”

Okay! No jokes from me anymore, only fries in the bag.

🫡 Till next time! 🫡
