Meme Insider
In the middle of another wild Friday on crypto Twitter, Ansem (@blknoiz06) – the same guy who can send a random cat token to a $500M market cap with a single tweet – decided to drop the realest alpha of the day:
“joe’s shanghai is a national treasure”
That’s it. No CA, no chart, no “100x incoming.” Just pure, unfiltered love for the legendary Chinatown (and Flushing) restaurant famous for its soup dumplings.
Memecoin trader and content creator David (@Deesome7) immediately jumped in with the most relatable reply you’ll see all week:
“I swear every time I go there I leave 10% happier as a human”
And honestly? Same.
For anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure, Joe’s Shanghai invented the soup dumpling craze in New York. We’re talking pork (or pork + crab) xiaolongbao where the soup magically stays inside the dumpling until you bite – then it explodes in the best way possible. Pair it with the vinegar-ginger dipping sauce and you understand why lines are out the door even on weekdays.
The thread went exactly how you’d expect crypto Twitter to handle anything wholesome: half the replies are people tagging friends saying “we’re going tonight,” the other half are still begging Ansem for a paid signals group because apparently even soup dumplings won’t stop the degen grind.
But for one brief shining moment, the timeline wasn’t about rugs, Jeo Boden, or which celebrity just launched a coin. It was just a bunch of traders who live on energy drinks and 4 hours of sleep remembering that real life still has some 100× experiences left – and one of them comes with thin dough and scalding hot broth.
If you’re ever find yourself in New York and Ansem hasn’t tweeted a new coin in the last 30 minutes, do yourself a favor: skip the overpriced Manhattan spots and head straight to Joe’s. Your taste buds (and your mood) will thank you.
Who knows – maybe the next billion-dollar meme will be inspired by a soup-dumpling-cat hybrid. Until then, respect to Ansem for reminding us that even the coldest niggas breathing still gotta eat.
