Gm degens and regens, and welcome back to another edition of The 13th Hour!

We’ve got a spicy edition for you today, including the latest in memecoin pumps, NFT drama, and our custom, 13th Hour, up-to-the-minute alpha drops.

In today’s edition:
📈 The best performers in the blue-chip memecoin category.
😈 $TROLL memecoin’s wild PvP amid runaway success.
 💸 An unpaid Cloudflare bill leaves NFT holders empty-handed.

…and more! (You’ll just have to read it to find out what else we’re cooking)

Here we go.

📈 Top Gainers: $PWEASE, $ZEREBRO, and $TRUMP

Several memecoins mooned this week after Bitcoin’s spectacular breakout to over $94,000. Congratulations to all Bitcoin holders, but the traders holding these three coins made out even better.

$PWEASE: JD Vance’s 1000 faces are immortalized forever on the blockchain in the form of the $PWEASE cryptocurrency. The Solana memecoin is perking up again this week after Vance’s fateful meeting with Pope Francis before the latter’s death on Monday, triggering posts about the Vice President’s mystic powers.

$ZEREBRO: Zerebro is back! One of the coins that kicked off the AI meta is mooning with a vengance. So much for all the “zero bro” bears… The talking, tweeting AI bot has pumped almost 400% in just 4 days!

$TRUMP: Yesterday Trump announced that the top 220 holders of his token are going to be invited to an exclusive, private dinner with the President. On the news, the $TRUMP token pumped more than 70%. Since the announcement, the Trump coin website has been updated with an official leaderboard of the biggest tokenholders.

But wait, there’s more… rumors are swirling that this may have all been a perfectly timed, orchestrated pump to allow for selling of token unlocks. Is this true or could it be just another case of AIXBT hallucinating?

😈 $TROLL PvP drama

Remember $TROLL from our last edition? Well, good news: It’s done really well. Bad news: It’s getting PvP’d from all sides. Here’s the low-down.

Early this week, a memecoin based on the “Troll” meme from 15 years ago began gaining traction, hitting $10M in market cap in under 24 hours. This was the coin with the CA 5UUH9RTDiSpq6HKS6bp4NdU9PNJpXRXuiw6ShBTBhgH2, this is important!

In the morning of April 23rd, however, the original creator of the Troll meme showed up and launched his own coin, CA wuZ6vfM35my4BcNEBXWjr4twBvPtU7CGT5Boyxjpump. He also had a few choice words for the original $TROLL community.

Pulling the copyright card in the trenches, eh champ?

Who will win is anyone’s guess but you can bet your top dollar this CT drama is far from over. Whether you’re trading or just sitting back and watching, good old fashioned beef is all the evidence we need that the trenches are back, baby 😈

🧐 CloneX NFTs disappear after failed Cloudflare payment

“Buy an NFT, the blockchain is forever.”

Or at least until you don’t pay your Cloudflare bill...?

CloneX holders are finding out in real time just how immutable their non-fungible characters are as pictures of the NFTs fail to render across exchanges. Instead of their beloved characters, NFT holders see a warning about Cloudflare’s content restrictions.

In other words, the RTFKT (creators of CloneX) team didn’t pay the Cloudflare security bill. What a shame.

Of course, the actual NFTs are safe on the blockchain, but this gaffe is more than enough to stir commentary from CT.

👨🏻‍🍳 New Cooks Alert?

It wouldn’t be an edition of The 13th Hour without a cook alert! Here are two coins that the GC’s and CT have been abuzz about. But keep in mind, they’re new so do your research before aping 🦧

$SRC: Screaming rubber chicken.

Need I say more?

It’s about those yellow rubber chickens you can buy at the dollar store and when you squeeze them they make a really loud screeching noise. There was a popular Vine about it back in the day? Ring a bell? No? I’m making a fool of myself? The most embarrassing thing you’ve ever seen?

Anyway it’s a screaming chicken and it has a chart and it’s been called in some groupchats. That’s the alpha.

$NOBODY: How about an instant $30M runner?

That’s what we got this morning with $NOBODY.

To be honest there isn’t a ton of info on this one right now, the holders are a bit top-heavy and some have warned about potential bundles, but the usual suspect KOLs are strangely silent about this one. Slow cook or ticking time bomb?

⌛️ … And that’s it for today!

Thanks for tuning in to another epic edition of The 13th Hour. Strap on your MEV protection, pull up your Twitter trackers, and go catch those screaming chickens and wild Vance memes.

Until next time, Timekeeper out!
