The value of cryptocurrencies has been influenced by the opinions of high-profile figures and celebrities. For example, Tesla founder Elon Musk has somewhat been responsible for the popularity of Dogecoin (DOGE) increasing when he publicly endorsed it on Twitter in early 2021. The ethos of influential figures dictating crypto particularly applies to the sector of meme coins, as they often focus on building communities and having satirical branding.
However, there is a dark side of the internet where derogatory content and comments are posted on online posts, blogs, videos, and forums to intentionally insult, upset, or actively attack someone. The term to describe people responsible for these actions is ‘internet trolls’. Ironically, internet memes on which meme coins are based lead to trolling online, as they often ridicule a particular person or group of people.
This behaviour has now transcended into the world of crypto, where the co-founder of Tamadoge (TAMA) Carl Dawkins publicly denounced Big Eyes Coin (BIG). But where does Dawkins’ beef with Big Eyes Coin come from?
The History of Tamadoge and Big Eyes Coin
Tamadoge (TAMA) is a cryptocurrency that combines the meme coin’s mass appeal with the increasingly popular play-to-earn (P2E) gaming model. They claim to be the gateway token of the Tamaverse, allowing users to breed and mint their Tamadoge pet in the metaverse.
Everyone will be able to mint the doges they desire thanks to Tamadoge, which also enables users to breed, train, and engage in combat with their Tamadoge NFTs to dominate the scoreboard every month. Your NFT will be able to play with its buddies in the Tamaverse when the play-to-earn options eventually broaden to incorporate augmented reality activities. Tamadoge represents not just the future of the Doge ecosystem but also that of play-to-earn.
In contrast, Big Eyes Coin is a crypto that aims to move wealth into the decentralised ecosystem while also protecting an important part of the world’s environment by donating 5% of its tokens in circulation to ocean-based conservation institutions.
BIG also uniquely brands itself by having a feline with large eyes, taking inspiration from Japanese culture and being designed in a manga/anime style. BIG also has plans to launch an original NFT collection where content producers may promote their goods. Once this collection hits the top 10 markets, all profits from these NFTs will go toward a burn-or-not-burn vote.
Which Meme Coin Is The Real Copycat?
As previously mentioned, the co-founder of Tamadoge, Carl Dawkins, accused Big Eyes Coin of being a scam. Dawkins went to the extent of making an almost twenty-minute YouTube video questioning the legitimacy of BIG and claiming that it copied Tamadoge.
Although he claimed Big Eyes Coin to have a “1% chance of not being a scam”, the feline coin has been audited and verified by CoinSniper KYC. Furthermore, Dawkins also states that Big Eyes Coin followed the branding strategies as Tamadoge, which is difficult to fathom as BIG branding contrasts significantly with what meme coins do traditionally by using a cat as their figurehead. Tamadoge follows the norm of meme coins by revolving itself around a dog, something that tokens such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Floki Inu all do.
Additionally, the features of the two blockchain networks are completely different. Tamadoge uses the play-to-earn functionality to incentivise gamers to earn crypto through playing video games. In contrast, Big Eyes Coin draws its token holders through its advocacy for sustainability by running on the Ethereum network while donating tokens in circulation to a dedicated charity wallet.
Final Thoughts
As long as the internet continues to exist, so will trolls. If you are a thriving blockchain network like Big Eyes Coin, then it is inevitable that you will receive negative publicity from your competitors. However, all publicity is good publicity. Carl Dawkins’ attempt at misinforming the public on BIG may ironically result in its popularity increasing.
