The real life inspirations behind new characters in Touhou 19 (Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost) While I haven’t been posting much about Touhou as of late, I felt obliged to put together the customary post about the inspirations behind the new characters. The new game genuinely renewed my interest. In contrast with similar write-ups pertaining to previous games the research is not entirely mine - some of the sections are a result of cooperation between me and @just9art. Without further ado, let’s delve into the secrets of the new cast. Find out if Biten is the first “Wukong impersonator” ever, when a tanuki is actually a badger, and why Hisami both is and isn’t an oni. Naturally, the post is full of spoilers. Also, fair warning, it's long.

1. Biten Son - sarugami + Sun Wukong

Sarugami means “monkey kami”, the monkey in mention being the Japanese macaque.To my best knowledge, the term is actually not used commonly in English - the results on jstor and De Gruyter are in the low single digits, Brill outright has nothing to offer. Translations are much more common.

Sarugami are particularly strongly associated with Mount Hiei. You might have heard of it because of its association with Matarajin, though in this case he’s not exactly relevant. Instead, it is believed the monkeys act as messengers of Sanno (the “mountain king”), Sekizan Myojin and Juzenji. Sanno himself could take the form of a monkey according to medieval texts, while Juzenji can be accompanied by a deity depicted as a man with a monkey’s head, Daigyoji, known from the Hie mandala. Sarutahiko is also associated with monkeys based on the similarity between his name and the word saru. Bernard Faure notes that despite the clearly positive portrayal of monkeys as semi-divine beings in service of these deities, their perception in folklore and mythology can nonetheless be considered ambivalent, because they could be viewed as aggressive. There are even examples of sarugami being portrayed as monstrous antagonists to be defeated by a hero. The best known tale of this variety is known simply as Sarugami taiji. It is preserved in the Konjaku monogatari. Here the sarugami is a fearsome monster who terrorizes a village and demands the offering of one young woman each year.

In contrast with the sarugami, I do not think Sun Wukong, one of the protagonists of the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West, needs much of an introduction. We reached the point where even in the west he is recognizable enough to warrant toys based on him (there’s a Lego Wukong on my desk right now). Biten's design has many callbacks to traditional portrayals of Wukong, including the staff (which in the novel is a pillar stolen from the undersea palace of a dragon emperor) and a very distinctive diadem (in the novel making it possible to pressure the unruly Wukong into obeying the monk he is meant to protect). As a curiosity it’s worth noting that “fake Wukong” is not a brand new idea - in the novel itself, one of the enemies of the heroes, Six-Eared Macaque, actually impersonates him for a time. Wukong is effectively himself a “divine monkey”, seeing as despite his origin as a literary character he actually came to be worshiped as a deity in mainland China, Taiwan and various areas with a large Chinese diaspora. The topic of Wukong worship itself came to be an inspiration for literature, starting with the excellent The Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal by Pu Songling, a writer active during the reign of the Qing dynasty, in the early eighteenth century.

2. Enoko Mitsugashira - “immortal yamainu” + Cerberus

Enoko gets the least coverage here, because there really isn’t much to say. Yamainu, “mountain dog”, isn’t really a supernatural creature, it’s an old term for either the extinct Japanese wolf, a type of feral dog, or a hybrid between these. It can also be used as a synonym of okuri-inu, a youkai wolf believed to accompany travelers at night.

There’s actually a distinctly Journey to the West-esque component to Enoko’s backstory, but I have no clue if this is intentional. In the aforementioned novel, many of the antagonists, who are generally demonic animals, are motivated by the desire to devour the flesh of the protagonist, the Buddhist monk Tang Sanzang, because it is said to grant immortality. Granted, given the obscurity of the figure Zanmu is based on - more on that later - perhaps this is an allusion to something else we have yet to uncover. Cerberus, being probably one of the most famous mythical monsters in the world, does not really need to be discussed here. The illustration is included mostly because I like Edmund Dulac and any opportunity is suitable for sharing his illustrations. I do not think it needs to be pointed out that Enoko's bear trap weapons are meant to evoke Cerberus' extra heads.

3. Chiyari Tenkajin - tenkaijin (+ mujina) + chupacabra

While my favorite animal youkai not yet featured in Touhou is easily the kawauso (otter), I was very pleased to learn we sort of got a mujina since I wanted to cover this topic since forever, but never got much of a chance. Technically Chiyari is actually meant to be a tenkaijin, which is not a mujina but a slightly different youkai (a will-o-wisp or St. Elmo’s fire-like creature, specifically) who in the single tale dealing with it takes the form of a mujina after dying, but as there is not much to say about it beyond that you will get a crash course in mujina folklore instead.

Today the word mujina is pretty firmly a synonym of anaguma - in other words, the Japanese badger. The animal does not substantially differ from other badgers, so I do not think much needs to be said about its ecology. However, historically the term could be used to refer to the tanuki regionally, or interchangeably to both animals, so in some cases if insufficient detail is provided it is hard to tell which one is meant. This ambiguity extends to the folklore surrounding them, and generally if you know what to expect from tanuki tales, which I’m sure most people reading this do, you will instantly recognize many of the plot elements typical for mujina ones. In other words, it is yet another yokai which typically takes the role of a shapeshifting trickster. Some supernatural phenomena could be basically interchangeably attributed to mujina, tanuki, kitsune or kawauso. Mujina are commonly described taking the form of Buddhist monks, which is one of the many similarities between them and tanuki.

The most famous depiction of a shapeshifting mujina comes from Toriyama Sekien’s Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki (The Illustrated One Hundred Demons from the Present and the Past). The accompanying text compares the creature to the supernatural versions of kitsune and tanuki, and states that the artist relied on a tale according to which a mujina was able to successfully impersonate a Buddhist monk until accidentally revealing its tail. 

What makes the mujina special is that it is actually the oldest recorded example of a youkai of this sort. A mujina tale already appears in the early Japanese chronicle Nihon Shoki, dated to 627. It reports an incident of a mujina transforming into a human and singing somewhere in the Michinoku Province. I feel like this alone is a good example of why you should be wary of people who seek to present Nihon Shoki or Kojiki as historical truth. Western audiences as far as I know were first introduced to mujina by Lafcadio Hearn. To my best knowledge, the fabulous shapeshifting badgers however failed to gain the popcultural recognition enjoyed by tanuki and kitsune. They did appear in Shigeru Mizuki's stories every now and then, and I found a mascot character based on them, but overall there isn't all that much beyond that.

Naturally, there isn't much mujina in Chiyari's design, and she instead most likely owes her distinctly spiky appearance to the other inspiration behind her character, the chupacabra. Mujina are not really portrayed as bloodthirsty, but the poorly documented tenkajin apparently is, which is presumably why ZUN decided to connect Chiyari with the chupacabra, the best known modern blood-drinking creature, who first appeared in tall tales from 1995 and subsequently took popculture by storm after spreading from Puerto Rico to mainland USA and Mexico. I am not a chupacabra aficionado so I have little to offer here, sadly.

4. Hisami Yomotsu - yomotsu-shikome

Judging from what I’ve seen on social media and on pixiv, Hisami is shaping up to be one of the most popular new characters (she’s my fave too). In sharp contrast with that, her basis is pretty obscure. So obscure that there isn’t even any historical art to showcase, as far as I can tell (note that this blog claims night parade scrolls might have something to offer, though - I was unable to verify this claim for now, sadly). As we learn from her bio, she is supposed to be a yomotsu-shikome. They’re called the “hags of Yomi” of Yomi in Donald L. Philippi’s Kojiki translation. The term shikome can be literally translated as “ugly woman”. Nothing about them really implies femme fatale leanings we are evidently seeing in Touhou but I’m not going to complain about that. Yomotsu-shikome appear only in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, and in both of these early chronicles they are portrayed as servants of Izanami after she died and came to reside in Yomi, the land of the dead. Nihon Shoki states there are only eight of them. The distinct grape vine motif present on Hisami’s clothes seems like an obvious reference to Izanagi’s escape from Yomi following his meeting with Izanami, portrayed in the myth recorded in both of these sources. When the yomotsu-shikome started to pursue him, he threw a vine he used to hold his hair at them. The plant instantly bore fruit, which the entities started to eat. They later resumed the chase, but were once again held back, this time by a bamboo shot. According to the Nihon Shoki, they eventually give up after he creates a river from his piss (sic) to keep them away.

Yomotsu-shikome are sometimes compared to oni by modern researchers. Noriko T. Reider in her monograph about oni argues that alongside hashihime and yamanba (pictured above) they can be effectively grouped with them. Another researcher, Michael D. Foster, is more cautious, and states that despite clear similarities it’s best to avoid conflating oni-like female demons with female oni proper, especially since the latter have a distinct iconography and a distinct set of traits. Norinaga Motoori, the founder of kokugaku or “national learning”, a nationalist intellectual movement in Edo and Meiji period Japan, claimed that oni were based on yomotsu-shikome, which is a pretty dubious claim. It is ultimately not certain when the term oni started to be used, but it is safe to say it has continental origin. And, of course, oni permeate Japanese culture in a way yomotsu-shikome do not.

5. Zanmu Nippaku - Zanmu

This was the toughest mystery to solve, and I am fully indebted to 9 here, since they figured it out, I am merely depending on what they directed me to. Research is still ongoing, and it feels like we just started to untangle this mystery, so you can safely expect further updates. Zanmu appears to be based on the Buddhist monk… well, Zanmu. You can learn a bit about him here or on Japanese wikipedia; it seems there are quite literally 0 sources pertaining to him in English, and even in Japanese there is actually very little. Their names are not written the same, ZUN swapped the sign for “dream” from the original name for one which can be read as “nothingness”. If the unsourced quote on wikipedia is genuine, the reason might be tied to the personal views of the irl Zanmu. What little we’ve been able to gather about him is that he was active in the Sengoku period, and apparently was regarded as unorthodox and eccentric. This lines up with Zanmu’s omake bio pretty well. Seems the real Zanmu was also unusually long lived, and was able to recall events from distant past in great detail, though obviously the figure of 139 years attributed to him in a few places online has to be an exaggeration.

Yet more puzzling is the reference to Zanmu’s familiarity with Ikkyo you might spot in the linked article. Whether the famous Ikkyo who you may know from the tale of Jigoku Dayu is meant is difficult to determine. The chronology does not really add up; on the other hand the logic behind associating one eccentric semi-legendary monk with another in later legends isn’t particularly convoluted. As 9 pointed out to me, if ZUN was aware of this link, and the same Ikkyo really was meant, it is not impossible the connection between Zanmu and Hisami is meant to in some way mirror that between Ikkyo and Jigoku Dayu. As you can easily notice, it’s pretty clear the historical Zanmu was male. It does not seem his Touhou counterpart is, obviously.  I would say we should wait for more info until declaring that we have a second Miko situation on our hands, with a male historical figure directly reimagined as a female character without any indication we are dealing with a relative rather than the real deal. There’s still relatively little info to go by so I would remain cautious (though naturally this is not meant to discourage you from having headcanons).

Neither me nor 9 were able to find any connection between the historical Zanmu and oni… so far, at least. Therefore, what motivated ZUN to make Zanmu an oni remains to be discovered. As a final curiosity, on a semi-related note it might be worth pointing out that while not as common as their male peers, female oni are not a modern invention, and already appear in setsuwa from the 13th century. A particularly common motif are tales describing a woman turning into oni due to jealousy or anger. Further reading:

Hi, your posts about Spy X Family are real good. I see chapter 105 as improvement of Franky's role and character. Wheather he'll get lucky - or not - on the Finding a Girlfriend case is a hot one. I wonder,when will Anya she's fed up with Damian's disdaineful,toxic world? I posted my thorough stydy upon this case. I've ceased to believe for a friendship(or romance between them). Unpopular truth:All these (old and new) cruel and awfull insults of Damian to Anya, in the end reflect and represent his Papa(: So in my opinion she and Papa "Twilight" will get the documents of Donovan's scheme by an other source.By the way, if government officials and the SSS are not his lackey's ,associates for his scheme then who they might be? And when WISE uncovers it what will be their actions against him and his network? Are we ready to see how Sylvia has killed people,real villains say Ostanians similar the assassins yor has killed? See you :)

Oh wow, thank you so much. I'm glad you find my rambles to be enjoyable 🥰🥰

As for chp 105, yes it's one of my favorite kind of "side character building up" type of chapter. And this time, we got to see Franky's character building. For me, Franky is such an amazing character that know how to enjoy his life. He has his princips and stays true to that, and didn't stop being kind, while at the same time he has a very smart view of the world and very logic in thinking process. I do hope he will find a woman who will appreciate him as who he is. But first, he has to decide when he want to settle down before doing it.

As for Damian. Yes, unfortunately if I have to be honest, I don't like Damian very much if he is showing his tsundere side and keep pointing and hurting Anya. But, he is still a boy, who tried too much. I hope he will one day learn to accept that there's nothing wrong by enjoying the process of growing up, and not too focused on the goal. And the fact that his Dad IS NOT someone he has to look up to. I believe Damian has good heart though, as we already seen in so many occasions. And just like every kid, in the growing process, the influences from other people particularly their peers are huge. And I hope Anya (with her own problems and difficulties) alongside with Ewen and Emile and Becky, can help Damian grows into a fine man. This is why, my fave chapter of Damian will always be where he can act like a boy of his age.

And I do agree. I do hope Twilight will find some other way to approach Donovan. And not pushing it through Anya and Damian friendship. Let these kids be friend without ulterior motives other than being friends.

The mystery of Donovan ascossiates are still there. This man has so much power, and yet, we know he is not with the incumbent of Ostanian govt. He is not directly leads the SSS, though without a doubt there will be fractions of SSS who is loyal to him up until current timeline. So where did his power came from? This remains a mystery until Endo decides to move forward with the plot, I guess 🤭

Tbh, I don't think WISE is 100% good either. It is possible that Op Strix be WISE's own plot to overturn Donovan because this man dares to oppose WISE. Anything is possible in politics after all 🤣 so how will WISE reacts when they finally got the information on Donovan? That will also depends on further information given to us by Endo himself.

Come on Endo!!! Give us more plot development 😫😫

Regarding Sylvia, Oh yes, through her speech during Inu-san crisis arc, we know that Sylvia has killed people during her life. This has eating her soul, but she has to carry on with her life. The same goes to Yor. Yor must know that not all of her clients are guilty per se, but she has to numb her soul because that's how she carry on with her life.

Thank you so much for the asks. I hope I manage to give satisfying answers 🥰🥰🥰

Good day to you too!

MULTIMUSE MEME: Send a " ⭐ " and I will list muses I would be interested in throwing at yours, or potential muse combinations if you are also a multi. If you like any of the suggested combinations, you are welcome to come plot or start interactions with them.

For @sithsjedi - So Leia and the other SW muses are kind of a given. But I think it would be fun to compare Swap!Leia with Yoda. She wouldn't have as much patience in certain cases, but she might be a better pupil than her twin, hehe~ But really they all could write with all of your SW muses, I'm intrigued.

For @historiavn - I am not particularly sure! Only a couple of my muses are really older than modern times. But I know it might be interesting to have Inu Kobayashi speak with folks who would be confused with how Japan is acting at the certain time period...

Ashireiko is an overall villain muse and they can go up against most anyone and try to manipulate them...

Whiskey is Wild West centered, so if anybody was alive during the last half of the West, we could do some ghost hunter (who is also undead) shenanigans...

How would any of your leader muses react to Kyubey? He's an alien from space who has had a hand in 100% of humanity's major events thanks to wish granting and the magical girl system... Would they consider him a threat or would they believe in his whole "greater good for the universe" thing?

Kaguya-hime- a maiden who ran away from the moon to become a human being. Would any of your muses raise her and teach her to love? Protect her from the moon?

Okami-Amaterasu- would any of your muses like to meet a literal god? Who is... also a doggie?

Elsa and Trico deserve to be buddies in isolation together. Maybe they both escape the Nest together.

Why You Should Own Your Own Memecoin Token

In recent years, cryptocurrency has transformed the way people view finance and digital assets. Among the numerous types of cryptocurrencies that have emerged, memecoins have stood out as a unique category. These fun, meme-inspired tokens have become much more than just a trend—they've become a real opportunity for savvy investors and creative developers alike. The surge in popularity for coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu has shown that memecoins are more than a passing phase. In fact, launching and owning your very own memecoin token could be a smart move, providing both financial opportunities and a strong community backing. In this blog, we’ll explore why you should consider creating and owning your own memecoin token, and how tools like Solana token generators can make the process fast and easy.

What Are Memecoins?

Memecoins are a type of cryptocurrency inspired by popular internet memes, jokes, or viral content. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, which are designed for specific use cases like payment processing or smart contracts, memecoins often begin as lighthearted experiments. However, many memecoins have gone on to gain serious financial backing and large communities, making them a legitimate part of the cryptocurrency world.

Why Memecoins Are Gaining Popularity

Memecoins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu started as jokes, but their rise in value and popularity has attracted serious attention. The reasons for this growth include:

Community Engagement: Memecoins thrive on strong, enthusiastic communities that drive their value through social media, forums, and grassroots marketing.

Low Barrier to Entry: Many memecoins are extremely affordable, which allows small investors to participate and potentially see huge returns.

Viral Nature: Memecoins often go viral due to their meme-based appeal, attracting attention from both mainstream media and high-profile influencers like Elon Musk.

High Potential for Growth: Some memecoins have skyrocketed in value, turning small investments into life-changing profits for early adopters.

Why You Should Consider Owning Your Own Memecoin Token

1. Potential for Profit

The first and most obvious reason to create or invest in your own memecoin token is the potential for profit. With the right marketing and community backing, memecoins can experience dramatic price surges. This is especially true when a memecoin goes viral, as was the case with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu.

Creating and owning your own memecoin allows you to capitalize on this trend, particularly if you’re able to build a strong community around your token. By being at the forefront of your own memecoin project, you can control the supply, distribution, and initial value of the token. If your memecoin gains traction, you could see substantial financial returns as more people invest in your token.

2. Building a Community

Memecoins are not just about making money; they’re also about building and fostering a community. One of the key drivers behind the success of many memecoins is the strong sense of belonging that their communities provide. By creating your own memecoin token, you have the opportunity to build a loyal and engaged group of supporters who are invested in the success of the project.

A vibrant community can help drive the popularity and value of your memecoin by spreading the word on social media, participating in discussions, and even contributing ideas for the future of the token. This organic growth can help your memecoin stand out in the crowded crypto market.

3. Innovation and Creativity

Owning your own memecoin token gives you the freedom to be creative and innovative. Memecoins don’t need to follow the same rules or conventions as traditional cryptocurrencies. This allows you to create a token that reflects your brand, personality, or even a cause you care about.

For example, your memecoin could be used to support a charity, raise awareness for a cause, or offer rewards to community members. You could even integrate your memecoin into decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, gaming applications, or non-fungible tokens (NFTs), opening up a world of possibilities for creative use cases.

4. Ease of Creation with Solana Token Generators

One of the biggest misconceptions about creating a cryptocurrency is that it requires technical expertise. In reality, creating your own memecoin has never been easier, thanks to platforms like Solana token generators. These tools allow you to create a custom token on the Solana blockchain in just a few clicks, without needing to write any code.

The Solana token generator provides an intuitive interface where you can define the name, symbol, and supply of your token, and then deploy it instantly on the Solana network. With Solana’s fast transaction speed and low fees, you can have your own memecoin up and running in no time. This makes it accessible for individuals or small businesses who want to launch their own token without having to invest in expensive development resources.

5. Control Over Tokenomics

When you create your own memecoin token, you have complete control over its tokenomics—the economic model behind the token. This includes decisions like how many tokens to create, how they will be distributed, and whether to allow features like minting or burning tokens.

Controlling the tokenomics allows you to create scarcity, reward early adopters, and ensure that your token retains value over time. You can also decide to lock liquidity, ensuring that there’s enough trading volume for your token in the market.

6. Low Fees and Scalability on Solana

The Solana blockchain is an excellent choice for creating and managing memecoins because of its low transaction fees and high scalability. Unlike Ethereum, where gas fees can become prohibitively expensive during periods of high network congestion, Solana offers ultra-low fees, making it affordable to launch and trade tokens.

Additionally, Solana’s high throughput—processing up to 65,000 transactions per second—ensures that your memecoin can handle large-scale adoption without suffering from slow transaction times or high fees.

How to Launch Your Own Memecoin on Solana

Launching your own memecoin is easier than ever with platforms like the Solana token generator. Here’s a step-by-step guide to getting started:

1. Set Up a Solana Wallet

Memecoins vs. real blockchain projects: A battle of the cryptos

In the bustling world of cryptocurrencies, memecoins have emerged as a quirky and often controversial phenomenon. Spawned from internet memes and community-driven hype, these digital assets have captured the imagination of millions. But how do they stack up against more traditional blockchain projects with tangible use cases? Let's dive in and explore the differences, similarities, and potential of both.

Understanding Memecoins

Memecoins, as the name suggests, are cryptocurrencies born from internet memes. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and countless others have risen to prominence, often fueled by viral social media campaigns and enthusiastic communities. Their primary appeal lies in their low barriers to entry, speculative nature, and a sense of belonging to a larger movement. While some dismiss memecoins as mere internet fads, their ability to generate significant market capitalization cannot be ignored.

The Appeal of Memecoins

Community-Driven: Memecoins often foster strong communities centered around shared interests and humor. The sense of belonging and social proof provided by these communities can be highly motivating for individuals to invest. Social media platforms play a crucial role in facilitating these communities and amplifying the appeal of memecoins.

Low Barrier to Entry: Unlike traditional investments, memecoins are often highly accessible, with low barriers to entry. This makes them attractive to a broader range of investors, including those who may not have significant experience in the financial markets.

Speculative Potential: The speculative nature of memecoins is another major draw. For many investors, buying memecoins is akin to gambling, offering the thrill of potentially high returns with minimal initial investment. This high-risk, high-reward dynamic aligns with the risk-seeking behavior of many individuals.

Internet Culture: Memecoins are deeply embedded in internet culture and often reference popular memes, trends, and events. This cultural relevance makes them appealing to a wide range of people, particularly younger generations who are highly engaged with social media and online communities. 

Real Blockchain Projects: Building the Future

On the other side of the spectrum are blockchain projects with real-world applications. These projects aim to revolutionize industries such as finance, supply chain management, and gaming. They focus on developing innovative solutions that leverage the underlying technology of blockchain to improve efficiency, transparency, and security.

Key Characteristics of Real Blockchain Projects:

Utility: Real blockchain projects offer tangible benefits to users and solve real-world problems. 

Technology Focus: Real blockchain projects typically leverage robust consensus mechanisms like Proof-of-Work (PoW), Proof-of-Stake (PoS), or more innovative approaches to ensure security and decentralization.

Long-Term Vision: These projects often have a long-term roadmap and a commitment to sustainable growth. To handle a high volume of transactions, these projects often employ layer-2 solutions, sharding, or other scaling techniques. 

Enterprise Adoption: Many real blockchain projects target enterprise customers, seeking to integrate blockchain technology into existing business processes.

BUSAI: A Case Study

BUSAI, a memecoin that has garnered significant attention in recent months, offers a compelling case study in the intersection of meme culture and blockchain technology. While sharing commonalities with other memecoins, such as community-driven growth and speculative interest, BUSAI distinguishes itself by leveraging AI to drive its development. This AI-powered approach enables BUSAI to evolve dynamically, catering to the ever-changing preferences of its community and potentially unlocking innovative applications beyond mere speculation.

Memecoins and real blockchain projects represent two distinct ends of the crypto spectrum. While memecoins offer a fun and speculative investment opportunity, real blockchain projects are building the foundation for a more decentralized and transparent future. The success of projects like BUSAI suggests that there may be a middle ground where memecoin hype can fuel the development of innovative blockchain applications. As the crypto market continues to evolve, it will be fascinating to see how these two forces interact and shape the future of digital assets.

Understanding Meme Cryptocurrencies: Explained

Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology have revolutionized the financial landscape globally. Blockchain technology has enabled the secure and decentralized transfer of digital value, leading to the emergence of cryptocurrencies.

Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, numerous other crypto projects have entered the market. While some of these projects offer significant utility, others have captured attention through a unique phenomenon known as meme tokens or meme cryptocurrencies.

This article aims to delve into the realm of meme cryptocurrencies, exploring their nature, functionality, and significance within the broader crypto landscape.

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain serves as a distributed database shared among nodes within a computer network. It electronically stores information in digital format, with its most renowned application being in cryptocurrency systems like Bitcoin. Blockchain ensures the security and decentralization of transaction records without relying on a central authority.

Unlike traditional databases, blockchain organizes data into blocks, which are then linked together to form a chain. Each block contains a set of information and is time-stamped upon addition to the chain, creating an immutable record of data.

Understanding Cryptocurrency and Its Mechanisms

Cryptocurrency refers to decentralized digital money based on blockchain technology. While Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the most prominent examples, there are nearly 9000 cryptocurrencies in circulation today.

Cryptocurrencies function as digital, encrypted, and decentralized mediums of exchange, eliminating the need for central authorities to manage their value. Users collectively uphold the integrity and value of cryptocurrencies through distributed consensus mechanisms.

Transactions within cryptocurrency networks are verified and recorded on the blockchain through cryptographic proof. This mechanism ensures the security and immutability of transaction records, fostering trust among participants without relying on intermediaries.

Exploring Meme Coins

The rise of meme coins, particularly during the explosive growth of 2021, garnered significant attention, with dog-themed meme coins like Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB) leading the pack.

Meme coins, inspired by internet memes and community-driven sentiments, exhibit high volatility compared to established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Their prices often fluctuate based on social media trends and online community dynamics, leading to bouts of FOMO (fear of missing out) among investors.

Characteristics and Functionality of Meme Coins

Meme coins derive their inspiration from internet memes and jokes, with Dogecoin being the pioneering example, launched in 2013. These coins often experience rapid surges in popularity driven by online endorsements and community enthusiasm.

Notable features of meme coins include their high volatility, massive or unlimited supply, and community-driven nature. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies, meme coins typically lack a definitive use case or technical foundation, relying heavily on community sentiments for their valuation.

Operational Mechanisms of Meme Coins

Meme coins operate similarly to traditional cryptocurrencies, leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts for functionality. Platforms like Ethereum and Solana host many meme coins, facilitating their creation, trading, and exchange.

While creating meme coins previously required technical expertise, the emergence of user-friendly applications has democratized the process, albeit with potential risks of exploitation by scammers targeting inexperienced investors.

Factors Driving Popularity

The surge in popularity of meme coins can be attributed to various factors, including the Covid-19 pandemic's impact on retail investors seeking alternative investment avenues. Additionally, events like the "meme stock" saga involving GameStop and AMC Entertainment in late 2020 contributed to the trend.

Prominent figures like Elon Musk further fueled the frenzy surrounding meme coins through social media endorsements and public statements. The accessibility and low price point of meme coins also appeal to retail investors, driving widespread participation in the meme coin market.

Popular Meme Coins

Leading meme coins include Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), both boasting significant market capitalization and widespread recognition. Other notable examples include Dogelon Mars (ELON), Floki Inu (FLOKI), and Baby DogeCoin (BabyDoge), each with its unique community and following.

Risks and Considerations

While meme coins offer the potential for substantial returns, they carry inherent risks, including tokenomics concerns, speculative volatility, and susceptibility to scams. Unlike established cryptocurrencies, meme coins often lack robust ecosystems and technical foundations, making them prone to price manipulation and sudden market downturns.

Investors should exercise caution and conduct thorough research before engaging in meme coin investments, as demonstrated by cautionary tales like the Squid Game (SQUID) meme coin debacle.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu: Case Studies

Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a playful homage to the Doge meme, gained widespread popularity through community-driven initiatives and social media campaigns. Its functionality mirrors that of traditional cryptocurrencies, with miners validating transactions and securing the network.

Shiba Inu, launched in 2020 as an Ethereum-based token, features the Shiba Inu dog as its mascot and aims to replicate the success of Dogecoin. With its unique ecosystem and governance token (BONE), Shiba Inu has attracted a dedicated following within the crypto community.

Conclusion

In conclusion, meme coins represent a fascinating phenomenon within the cryptocurrency landscape, blending humor, community-driven dynamics, and speculative fervor. While offering the potential for significant gains, meme coins also entail considerable risks, necessitating careful consideration and due diligence from prospective investors. As the meme coin market continues to evolve, understanding its dynamics and implications remains essential for navigating this vibrant and unpredictable sector of the crypto economy.

The Rise of Meme Coins: A Deep Dive into Meme Coin Development

In the ever-evolving landscape of the cryptocurrency market, a new player has emerged – meme coins. These digital currencies, often characterized by their humorous and viral nature, have captured the attention of both crypto enthusiasts and the wider online community. Meme coin development represents a unique fusion of technology, community engagement, and internet culture, making it a fascinating phenomenon to explore.

Understanding Meme Coins:

Meme coins, as the name suggests, derive their value and appeal from internet memes and viral content. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, meme coins often lack a sophisticated underlying technology or a specific use case. Instead, their success hinges on the power of online communities and the ability to create a buzz around the coin.

The Birth of Meme Coins:

The journey of meme coins can be traced back to the rise of Dogecoin. Originally created as a parody of Bitcoin, Dogecoin featured the Shiba Inu dog from the "Doge" meme as its logo. Despite its initial humorous intent, Dogecoin gained a substantial following, highlighting the potential for meme-based currencies.

As the popularity of Dogecoin soared, developers and entrepreneurs began recognizing the market demand for meme coins. This led to the creation of various meme coins, each with its unique theme and community. Notable examples include Shiba Inu, SafeMoon, and Dogecoin-inspired spin-offs like Baby Doge.

Meme Coin Development:

Meme coin development often involves creating a token on existing blockchain networks, primarily the Ethereum blockchain due to its robust smart contract capabilities. Developers typically employ the ERC-20 standard for these tokens, enabling compatibility with various cryptocurrency wallets and exchanges.

One of the defining features of meme coin development is the emphasis on accessibility and simplicity. Unlike complex blockchain projects with intricate technical aspects, meme coins are designed to be user-friendly and easily understood by a broad audience. This simplicity is a key factor in their widespread adoption.

Community Engagement and Virality:

The success of meme coins development relies heavily on community engagement and virality. Social media platforms, particularly Twitter, Reddit, and TikTok, play a crucial role in spreading awareness and driving interest in meme coins. The community actively participates in creating memes, sharing content, and promoting the coin, contributing to its viral nature.

Developers often encourage community involvement by implementing features such as decentralized governance. This allows token holders to participate in decision-making processes, fostering a sense of ownership and loyalty among the community. Such engagement not only sustains the momentum but also adds an element of democratic control to meme coin projects.

Challenges and Risks:

While meme coins have gained immense popularity, they are not without challenges and risks. Due to their speculative nature and the lack of fundamental value, meme coins are highly volatile. Investors should exercise caution and conduct thorough research before participating in meme coin projects.

Another challenge is the potential for scams and rug pulls within the meme coin space. The decentralized and pseudonymous nature of blockchain transactions can make it challenging to track malicious activities. Investors should be wary of fraudulent projects and conduct due diligence to avoid falling victim to scams.

Regulatory Considerations:

As meme coins gain prominence, regulatory scrutiny has increased. Authorities in various jurisdictions are closely monitoring the cryptocurrency space, and meme coin developers may need to navigate evolving regulatory landscapes. Compliance with existing regulations and transparency in project development are essential for long-term sustainability.

The Future of Meme Coins:

The future of meme coins remains uncertain, but their impact on the cryptocurrency landscape cannot be ignored. While some critics dismiss them as mere speculative assets, others see them as a reflection of the changing dynamics of finance and community-driven innovation.

As meme coin developers continue to experiment with new ideas and engage with online communities, the space is likely to evolve. Whether meme coins become a lasting trend or a temporary phenomenon, their development and impact on the broader crypto ecosystem will be an intriguing space to watch.

In conclusion, meme coin development represents a fascinating intersection of technology, community, and internet culture. The rise of these coins highlights the dynamic nature of the cryptocurrency market and the power of online communities to influence financial trends. While meme coins come with their challenges and risks, they have undeniably added a new dimension to the world of digital currencies.

Catching the attention of more than 650K X (formerly Twitter) users, Dogelon Mars is a thriving community. The mysterious and adventurous theme has garnered significant user engagement through comments, likes, and shares. The crypto craze has also piqued the interest of investors, and they often wonder, “How high can Dogelon Mars go in 2023?” It has been only two years since Dogelon Mars was launched. Dogelon Mars is also part of the Dog meme crypto series like the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency. Overview of Dogelon Mars Dogelon Mars is a cryptocurrency aiming to become an intergalactic currency. However, it has not established any specific utility or practical use cases. Despite this, it has gained considerable popularity due to its association with Elon Musk and the various advertising campaigns run in his name. It is worth noting that Dogelon Mars has not yet released a whitepaper or a plan detailing its future goals and strategies. Rather, it relies heavily on media assets, such as a Dogelon comic book, for marketing purposes. Dogelon Mars, the main character of the crypto, features in many comic series that are on sale as NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). Introduced on the Ethereum platform as an ERC-20 token, the Dogelon Mars crypto, also known as ELON, derives its name from Elon Musk. The inspiration behind this coin’s development comes from Musk’s investment in and backing of Dogecoin Shiba Inu. ELON boasts impressive tokenomics and is available on major decentralized exchanges with various token pairings. The Methuselah Foundation, a biomedical charity, currently holds 43% of all ELON tokens, and the Dogelon Mars community is actively involved in philanthropic efforts. Historical Price Analysis The Dogelon Mars crypto has seen several price peaks since its inception in 2021. Until April 2022, the Dogelon Mars crypto performed well, with the price reaching $0.000002184. The first highest was during the initial launch of the token in May of 2021. Now it is trading around $0.0000001291 with a 24-hour volume of $5M. ELON’s adjacent peaks suffered a steep drop due to the worldwide economic slow-down during the Covid-19 pandemic. Since May 2022, there have been no significant peaks, and the price has reduced in huge volatility. When considering other cryptocurrencies in the market, it is well-known that the price of meme coins such as Dogelon Mars is particularly volatile, making it difficult to forecast its value accurately. Looking at past trends, the price of ELON may increase but may not be very significant. How high will Dogelon Mars go in 2023? Our ELON predictions suggest that Dogelon Mars will indeed see a price rise, and the average price is expected to be approximately $0.00000128. By the 2023  year’s end, the price is predicted to increase by 122%. The future of Dogelon Mars looks promising, indicating that investing in the crypto could be a wise decision. Based on price predictions, the minimum price of Dogelon Mars may be $0.000000202, respectively, by the end of 2023. Experts predict that 2023 might end with a price of $0.000000288. Wallet Investor convey that the market sentiment of Dogelon Mars is more on the bearish side than the bullish side. Wallet Investor predicts no new high peaks in the rest of 2023 and expects the token to go down to a value of $0.000000028. While Changelly anticipates the price of Dogelon Mars to reach $0.000000146, considering the current market conditions is essential, as they are the sole factor influencing Dogelon Mars’ growth. Overall, there are mixed signals regarding the price of ELON in 2023, but the majority of the experts believe that there will be an increase in the Dogelon Mars price, even if it is marginal. Conclusion Dogelon Mars has gained popularity among investors and Twitter users. Considering the historical data, the coin’s value is expected to have increased by 122% in Q4 of 2023.

The market sentiment is more bullish. However, it is crucial to analyze the price activity of Dogelon Mars, study trends, conduct careful research, and seek expert financial guidance before making an investment decision.

Mark Tencaten | Examine these four factors before making your first investment in the cryptocurrency market

The crypto industry is growing to be "too big to ignore," according to Mark Tencaten. In fact, the crypto industry has grown by 706 percent to achieve nearly 600 billion. This is just the first step in the quickly developing crypto space, which has experienced an aggressive growth rate of almost 641% over the past 12 months. This makes it the fastest-growing market worldwide.

Additionally, a study revealed that Defi platforms had a significant uptick along with the industry's steady expansion, with almost 221 million users actively trading in cryptocurrencies in recent months. Institutional investors from all around the world invested close to 17 billion US dollars in the Defi platform.

Here is a five-point checklist that Mark Tencaten has provided that you should check out before you make the much-needed leap into the cryptocurrency market.

1.    Research

You should undoubtedly take the cryptocurrency journey, but only after careful planning and research. Do not ignore the crypto's underlying principles that will eventually fuel its long-term growth just because your buddies are investing in an altcoin that is currently surging like crazy!

Looking through a cryptocurrency's whitepaper is the ideal method to learn more about it. It contains all the information one needs to learn about the currency, including its application cases, scalability, future plans, community involvement, and growth potential. In order to determine whether a coin has strong fundamentals or not, investors can look at the following factors: management quality, the coin's underlying technology, social engagement, market cap, investor sentiment, vision, and purpose. This way, investors can be sure that they are making a long-term investment that will be reliable.

2.    Trade only with money you can risk losing.

While it may be popular, selling their kidneys to buy the newest phone is not a good idea for retail investors. This is especially true when it comes to cryptocurrencies. This is particularly true for the cryptocurrency market, which is extremely unpredictable, uncontrolled, and uncertain, with quick changes in fortunes. So, while it's necessary to stay ahead of this rapidly expanding sector, it's also crucial to play it carefully and only invest sums that won't negatively impact your financial situation.

According to Mark Tencaten, even returns in crypto investments require patience and time to materialize. While the possibility of earning incredibly lucrative, sky-high returns in a short period of time may sound very alluring, there is currently no scheme that doubles money in a few days.

3.    Achieve equilibrium

Ensure the cryptos in your holdings are distributed evenly among market leaders, dependable and well-respected coins like Bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Cardano, and relatively less popular tokens like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and more, just as you maintain the investment strategy among risky and stable investments.

Also, keep in mind that cryptocurrencies that are not listed on reputable exchanges may not be legitimate, so you should avoid them. You might wish to have investments in fundamentally sound coins alongside trending, new coins that are making you money in the short term because they will protect your losses and help your cryptocurrency portfolio grow significantly over time.

4.    Analyze and safeguard!

Make sure you don't become a victim of fraud and disinformation because the world of cryptocurrencies is rife with them. When it comes to cryptocurrency, don't blindly believe everything you read on social media and the internet!

Only believe information from reliable sources, such as a crypto whitepaper or data from well-known exchanges. Additionally, keep in mind to store your cryptocurrency safely in hot or cold wallets to prevent unauthorized access to your well-earned capital.

Now is the time to start using this checklist and making progress in the cryptocurrency industry.

Investing in Memecoins: Strategies for the upcoming Moon Launch

Memecoins, a fascinating phenomenon within the cryptocurrency space, have captured the attention and imagination of both novice and experienced investors. These digital tokens, often inspired by popular internet memes and cultural references, have the potential to yield significant returns. However, their volatile nature requires strategic investment approaches. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore effective strategies for investing in memecoins, aiming to maximize gains while mitigating risks as we anticipate the next moon launch.

Understanding Memecoins

Memecoins are a subset of cryptocurrencies that derive their value from social media trends, community engagement, and cultural relevance rather than traditional fundamentals. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which have clear use cases and technological underpinnings, memecoins often thrive on speculation, humor, and hype.

The Rise of Memecoins

The memecoin phenomenon began with Dogecoin, created as a joke in 2013. Despite its satirical origins, Dogecoin garnered a massive following and achieved significant market capitalization. The success of Dogecoin paved the way for other memecoins, such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), SafeMoon, and Baby Doge Coin, each leveraging the power of memes and community-driven growth.

Strategies for Investing in Memecoins

1. Conduct Thorough Research (DYOR)

The first and foremost rule of investing in memecoins is to conduct thorough research, often referred to as “Do Your Own Research” (DYOR). Given the speculative nature of memecoins, it is crucial to understand the following aspects:

Project Background: Investigate the origins of the memecoin, its creators, and the development team. Transparency and credibility are essential indicators of a project’s potential.

Community Engagement: Assess the size and activity of the memecoin’s community. A strong, engaged community can drive demand and support the token’s value.

Use Case and Utility: While many memecoins lack substantial use cases, some aim to integrate additional functionalities, such as staking, decentralized finance (DeFi) features, or gaming elements. Understanding any potential utility can inform investment decisions.

2. Diversify Your Portfolio

Diversification is a fundamental principle of investment strategy, particularly relevant in the volatile world of memecoins. By spreading investments across multiple memecoins and other cryptocurrency assets, investors can reduce risk and increase the likelihood of achieving positive returns. Diversification strategies include:

Investing in Multiple Memecoins: Rather than placing all funds into a single memecoin, consider investing in a variety of promising tokens. This approach mitigates the impact of any one token’s poor performance.

Balancing with Stable Assets: Complement memecoin investments with more stable assets, such as established cryptocurrencies (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) or stablecoins. This balance can help stabilize the overall portfolio.

3. Timing and Market Sentiment

Timing plays a critical role in memecoin investments. The memecoin market is highly sentiment-driven, often influenced by social media trends, celebrity endorsements, and news events. Investors should:

Monitor Social Media: Stay updated with platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and Discord, where memecoin communities are highly active. Trends and discussions on these platforms can provide insights into market sentiment and potential price movements.

Identify Entry and Exit Points: Use technical analysis to identify opportune entry and exit points. Tools such as moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), and MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence) can help in making informed decisions.

Avoid FOMO and FUD: Be wary of “Fear of Missing Out” (FOMO) and “Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt” (FUD). These psychological factors can lead to impulsive decisions. Maintain a rational approach and stick to your investment strategy.

4. Risk Management

Given the speculative nature of memecoins, effective risk management is essential to protect investments. Key risk management strategies include:

Set a Budget: Determine the amount of capital you are willing to allocate to memecoin investments. This should be an amount you can afford to lose without affecting your financial stability.

Use Stop-Loss Orders: Implement stop-loss orders to automatically sell tokens at a predetermined price, limiting potential losses in the event of a market downturn.

Take Profits: Establish profit-taking points to secure gains. Selling a portion of holdings when a memecoin reaches a specific price target can lock in profits and reduce exposure to volatility.

5. Long-Term vs. Short-Term Strategies

Investors should decide whether to adopt a long-term or short-term strategy based on their risk tolerance and investment goals:

Long-Term Holding (HODLing): Some investors choose to hold memecoins for an extended period, banking on the potential for substantial long-term gains. This approach requires patience and a willingness to endure market fluctuations.

Short-Term Trading: Others prefer short-term trading, capitalizing on price volatility to generate quick profits. This strategy requires active monitoring of the market and the ability to execute trades promptly.

6. Security Measures

Security is paramount in the cryptocurrency space. To safeguard memecoin investments, consider the following measures:

Use Reputable Exchanges: Conduct transactions on reputable cryptocurrency exchanges with robust security protocols. Avoid using obscure or unverified platforms.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enhance account security by enabling two-factor authentication on exchange accounts and wallets.

Store in Secure Wallets: Use hardware wallets or secure software wallets to store memecoins. Avoid keeping large amounts of tokens on exchanges, which are susceptible to hacks and security breaches.

Future Trends and Considerations

As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, several trends and considerations may impact memecoin investments:

Regulatory Developments: Monitor regulatory developments in the cryptocurrency space. Regulatory clarity can influence market dynamics and investor confidence.

Technological Advancements: Advancements in blockchain technology, such as scalability solutions and interoperability, may enhance the utility and adoption of memecoins.

Mainstream Adoption: Increasing mainstream acceptance of cryptocurrencies, including memecoins, could drive demand and value. Partnerships with established companies and integrations into everyday applications may contribute to this trend.

Conclusion: Preparing for the Next Moon Launch

Investing in memecoins offers exciting opportunities but comes with significant risks. By conducting thorough research, diversifying portfolios, timing investments wisely, managing risks, and prioritizing security, investors can navigate the volatile memecoin market with greater confidence. As we anticipate the next moon launch, staying informed and adopting a strategic approach will be key to maximizing returns and achieving success in the dynamic world of memecoins.

[shayurikarasu]

gah i want to scream - the hair demoness coincidentally* looks like Karasu's "ex" in my imaginary world. She was a half succubus, her dad was an incubus, and half bat youkai from her mum. She was one of his prostitutes he visited and later killed from a brothel, being a "Romantic John" (those that believe he's in a relationship with the prostitute ... much like he talks like how he's in a relationship with Kurama, particularly in the Japanese version, but Karasu did say that while their short-term relationship and sex was great, she "wasn't his type" and he "couldn't stand her" ... you know, until he realised how insecure I was from my inferiority complex, and used that experience against me later as revenge and psychological warfare for having an affair again with my ex-boyfriend Touya when Karasu was away, which I deeply regret and have repented for; he's since apologised saying all he said was "revenge, pure revenge", but it still hurts me six years later. Anyways, he said the sex exerted him to the point he thought he was having a heart attack, but in retrospect said was a panic attack, and killed her in response for leaving him for what he thought was dead. He is proud of having f*cked a succubus (albeit a half one) otherwise, though.)

(* or possibly from my subconscious, as I watched Inu-Yasha and both demons/youkai are associated with hair, but i'm sure Karasu's "ex's" image is from Lisa's reincarnation in Silent Hill, as I identify with Lisa, and thought I'm gonna end up being punished like Lisa when I die ... sigh. :<

So I guess she's like part of my "shadow" if you go by Jungian psychology (or a "shadow self" and/or "soul fragment" like in a modern version of shamanism which I used to be interested in ... who knows. >.< I really hate her in any case. What's hilarious is I sometimes go by Yuri after my main cosplay and kindred spirit Yuri Plisetsky and Yura is one of his fandom nicknames, so I had considered it my nickname too, weird. =O~o=)

I started rewatching Inuyasha and had a revelation
