In the fast-paced world of crypto, where memecoins rise and fall faster than you can say "to the moon," influencers like Ansem hold serious sway. Known for his killer calls on Solana-based tokens and his unapologetic trading style, Ansem (real name Zion Thomas) is no stranger to making waves on X (formerly Twitter). But his latest post isn't about the next big pump – or is it?
Ansem, a Buffalo native and evident Bills fan, quoted a prediction from NFL news editor Brenden Deeg: "The Buffalo Bills will face the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LX." His response? A simple salute emoji: 🫡. Posted on August 31, 2025, the tweet quickly garnered over 32,000 views, with likes, reposts, and replies pouring in.
For those new to the scene, Super Bowl LX refers to the 60th edition of the NFL's championship game, slated for February 2026. The Bills, hailing from Buffalo, New York – where Ansem studied at Buffalo State University – have never won a Super Bowl, despite four consecutive appearances in the early '90s. Ansem's salute isn't just casual; it's a nod to his roots, especially as the 2025 NFL season kicks off.
But here's where it gets meme-worthy: while the post is pure sports hype, the replies turned into a memecoin shill fest. Crypto Twitter being what it is, users flooded the thread with promotions for various meme tokens, turning a football prediction into a blockchain billboard.
Memecoins Take Over the Replies
One standout is Dogstock ($DSTOCK), a dog-themed memecoin that's been gaining traction. According to CoinGecko, Dogstock combines the viral appeal of canine memes with stock market vibes – think Dogecoin meets Wall Street. Replies featured eye-catching visuals, like this Norman Rockwell-inspired artwork of a suited-up dog flashing cash at an auction.
Another reply hyped $RWLD, short for Runeworld, a meme created by Kraken CEO Arjun Sethi to rally the Runes community on Bitcoin. The post included a video clip, emphasizing community-driven tokens on alternative blockchains.
Then there's "Housecoin," mentioned as "looking bottomed out here." While not as established, it hints at real estate or home-themed memes, a niche that's popped up in the memecoin space. Other replies threw in random numbers like "67" or salute emojis with their own images, but the pattern is clear: Ansem's influence draws memecoin promoters like moths to a flame.
Even a short animated clip of a glowing, winged dog zipping through lightning storms with "Dogstock" text appeared, showcasing the creative marketing that fuels these tokens.
Why Ansem's Posts Fuel Memecoin Hype
Ansem isn't just any trader; he's built a reputation for spotting winners early. His pets alone have inspired tokens like $ROCKY (Ansem's dog) and $PLATO (his new pup), both on Solana. As detailed in 99Bitcoins, Ansem's early bets on Solana during its rough patches paid off big, earning him a following of over [whatever, but from bio]. When he posts – even about sports – it becomes prime real estate for shills.
This tweet highlights a bigger trend: the blend of pop culture, sports, and crypto. Memecoins thrive on narratives, and tying into NFL hype could spark animal-themed tokens (Bills? Eagles? Dogs rule anyway). For blockchain practitioners, it's a reminder that community engagement drives value in this space.
If you're eyeing Dogstock or similar, remember: memecoins are high-risk, high-reward. Always DYOR (do your own research) and check platforms like CoinMarketCap for live prices. Who knows – maybe the Bills' Super Bowl run will coincide with a memecoin bull market.
