We've all heard of the cryptocurrency named after a dog, but a dog named after a cryptocurrency? In a move very few people would have cared to anticipate, a Redditor has named his dog Bitcoin, after the cryptocurrencyBitcoin.<\/p>\n
Taking to Reddit yesterday evening, one crypto aficionado posted a picture holding Bitcoin (the dog, not the digital assetsee its confusing already). Seeing the opportunity for a few mediocre puns, a myriad of Reddit's finest came out in full form to gawk, praise, and wisecrack in equal measure.<\/p>\n
\"Do you keep Bitcoin on chain or off chain?\" wrote a technologically savvy Redditor.<\/p>\n
\"Watch out for large dumps,\" replied another, presumably a crypto trader.<\/p>\n
Bitcoin isn't the first dog to be named after the pioneering cryptocurrency. In fact, since the 2017 bull run, there seems to have been a spike in doggos dubbed Bitcoin.<\/p>\n
\"My grandad has named the new dog Bitcoin. F**KING BITCOIN. Are you having a laugh,\" wrote an outraged Twitteratti in early 2018.<\/p>\n
\"My cousin got a dog and named her Biggie Bitcoin,\" another tweeted.<\/p>\n
However, if you're sitting there thinking: 'it's still better than naming your kid after Bitcoin,' we have some unfortunate news for you.<\/p>\n
In 2017, shortly before Bitcoin's blow-off top, a Crimean couple called their newborn son \"Bitcoin.\" According to the boy's father, the naming was done in \"gratitude to the crypto industry.\"<\/p>\n
Still, anything beats X A-12...<\/p>\n
