Day 1 - Initial Discovery
Found something disturbing in the lab today. While analyzing the $USDD
specimen,
detected unknown memetic particles in the air. Seem to be originating from Sector 7's abandoned
"Internet Culture Research Division."
NOTE: Security footage shows multiple cartoon-like entities breaching containment.
Classification: MEME-001 through MEME-015. Immediate quarantine protocol initiated.
Day 3 - Specimen Identification
The escaped specimens appear to be classic memetic archetypes. Each exhibits unique
viral properties and infection vectors. Preliminary identification complete.
SPECIMEN: PEPE-001
Viral Potency: EXTREME
Infection Rate: 847% per hour
Side Effects: Uncontrollable trading urges
Last Seen: 4chan containment breach
SPECIMEN: PIKACHU-025
Viral Potency: MODERATE
Infection Rate: 150% per day
Side Effects: Nostalgia-induced purchasing
Last Seen: Pokemon Go outbreak 2016
SPECIMEN: SIMPSON-B
Viral Potency: HIGH
Infection Rate: 420% per episode
Side Effects: Quote compulsion disorder
Last Seen: Social media prediction memes
SPECIMEN: DOGE-SHIBA
Viral Potency: MAXIMUM
Infection Rate: ∞ (Infinite loop detected)
Side Effects: "Much wow" speech patterns
Last Seen: Dogecoin market manipulation
Day 7 - Contamination Spreads
ALERT: The specimens have formed some kind of
collective consciousness. They're no longer operating independently.
This explains the synchronized market movements!
- Dr. V
The memetic entities are using human hosts to spread financially destructive behaviors.
The "DEGEN DOLLAR" appears to be their primary infection vector - a weaponized currency
designed to maximize viral transmission through social media platforms.
[Rough sketch of infection pathway:
Meme → Social Media → FOMO → Financial Ruin → More Memes]
Day 12 - Patient Zero Located
Found evidence of Patient Zero
in the facility archives. A single researcher
An entire generation was exposed to concentrated memetic radiation
during the "Web 2.0 Experiment" of 2004-2012.
Personal note: I think I might be infected too. Keep catching myself saying "stonks"
and "diamond hands" during serious financial discussions. Must maintain objectivity.
Day 18 - Mutation Observed
The specimens are evolving. New variants detected:
• WOJAK Strain: Causes extreme emotional volatility
• CHAD Variant: Induces false confidence in trading
• BOOMER Mutation: Rejection of all digital assets
• ZOOMER Hybrid: TikTok-driven investment strategies
The most dangerous discovery: they've learned to weaponize nostalgia.
Subjects exposed to childhood cartoon specimens show 340% increase in impulse purchasing
of related digital assets.
Day 25 - Critical Breakthrough
EUREKA! The specimens aren't trying to destroy the financial system -
they're trying to recreate it in their own image.
"DEGEN DOLLAR" isn't just a failed stablecoin. It's a memetic trojan horse
designed to normalize chaotic financial behavior. Once enough people are infected,
traditional markets will become obsolete.
This explains why my portfolio is 90% meme coins now...
I'm a test subject!
Day 30 - Final Entry (?)
Can no longer distinguish between research and participation. The line between
observer and subject has completely dissolved.
Maybe this was always the plan. Maybe we were never studying them.
Maybe they were studying us.
To the moon? 🚀
No... that's the infection talking. Must resist...
Diamond hands forever 💎🙌
