This is a historic-tier super meme—potentially the next PEPE or Shiba of this cycle. It's no exaggeration to call it the return of the one true meme king. The community's goal is to establish Spurdo as the FOMO-worthy asset on Ethereum—and eventually across all chains—for years to come.

SPURDO is a cross-cultural super meme that bridges East and West.

Its Chinese name, "傻币" (Shǎ Bì), is an absolute game-changer:

• It's a homophone of the widely used slang term "傻逼" (Shǎbī), making it instantly recognizable and sticky.
• Both characters are among the most frequently used in Mandarin—nearly every Chinese netizen uses this phrase, often daily.
• It carries a strong mix of satire, mockery, and self-ridicule, embodying the internet's love of trolling and playful self-amusement.

The name "傻币（ShaBi）" is meme perfection:

• "傻（Sha）" captures SPURDO's goofy, "derp face" expression perfectly.
• "币（Bi）" instantly signals "crypto."

Together, they form a powerfully viral, self-aware meme phrase dripping with internet spirit.

In terms of cultural impact, only Shiba Inu's Chinese name, "屎币" (Shǐ Bì), comes close. This name alone could be worth billions.

Unsurprisingly, SPURDO's Chinese community is exploding—drawing in OG builders from SHIB, Neiro, BabyDoge, and MOODENG (ETH).

In the West

SPURDO traces back to a crude pixel character, "Pedobear", created by a Finnish internet user in 2008. It went viral on 4chan in early 2009 and became a foundational part of the board's meme identity.

SPURDO is deeply satirical—it gained traction through intentionally misspelled words used to mock internet culture and real-world absurdities. It's the ultimate "play dumb but troll the world" vibe.

Its visual style heavily influenced later 4chan-born memes like PEPE, BOBO, APU, and BONK. But in raw cultural impact, only PEPE stands in the same league—and many argue SPURDO is the stronger meme. BOBO, APU, and others don't even come close.

PEPE peaked at a $10B+ market cap; APU, BOBO, and BONK reached several hundred million to a few billion.

SPURDO today is like PEPE before 2023—an untapped meme treasure, radiating raw meme energy and FOMO potential.

A Truly Cross-Cultural Meme

• To the East, it's the next "shiba"-level sensation.
• To the West, it's a PEPE-tier classic.

SPURDO represents a return to memecoin roots—a full-blown meme renaissance. Its value remains largely unrealized. It's easily a $10B+ asset, if not more.

SPURDO & Vitalik Buterin

Vitalik, Ethereum's co-founder and spiritual leader, was once a top holder of Spurdo. The community repeatedly sent him airdrops totaling over 4.6% of the supply.

He sold in two tranches:

• Oct 10: Sold 40.2B $SPURDO for $51.3K
• Oct 31: Sold 6.2B $SPURDO for $8,991

(The use of proceeds remains unannounced.)

Notably, the Oct 31 sale was conducted via the 0x83fa address, which originally purchased $SPURDO for 197 USDT on Oct 9.

This marked Vitalik's first high-profile meme purchase in years—making Spurdo his first pure-community memecoin investment in recent memory.

The $8,991 proceeds from that sale were later returned to his main wallet (0x6045...).
