TL;DR
· MOG Coin is a popular meme coin on the Ethereum and Base chains, widely embraced for promoting a cultural shift known as mog/acc, which combines mogging and accelerationism.
· Influential figures like Elon Musk and Garry Tan embracing the mog/acc trend have significantly boosted the value of MOG Coin.
· mog/acc is evolving into an internet-native philosophy, focusing on technological progress and the shared language of ‘winners’. Dogecoin can step aside. The new meme coin sweeping the core circle of tech Twitter is not just entertainment; it’s about a way of thinking.
MOG Coin is a hot token available on the Ethereum and Base chains, attempting to bring about a cultural shift through “mog/acc”—a combination of mogging (slang for being superior, stronger, faster) and accelerationism (accelerating technological change at all costs). Tech optimists quickly donned Pit Vipers—a cool sunglasses brand—as their X account avatars, extending the influence of the mog token beyond the crypto sphere.
Influential X accounts, from Y Combinator founder Garry Tan to X owner Elon Musk, have joined the mog/acc craze by changing their avatars to characters wearing Pit Vipers. The price of MOG has risen over 11% in the past week, with a nearly 130% increase over the last 30 days. Companies in the Solana ecosystem, such as Raydium and Jupiter, have also joined the trend, changing their online avatars to cats or mascots wearing Pit Vipers and tagging “mog/acc.”
A community member even developed a mog/acc bot that can automatically convert any avatar into the aesthetic style sought by mog/acc adherents; the account quickly went viral just hours after launching early Wednesday morning.
But what exactly is mog/acc? Adherents have very specific views on this.
“Mog accelerationism extends the mog memeology into the realm of technological progress,” meme coin thought leader @Virotechnics stated in a Telegram message to CoinDesk. “It’s about victory, competition, and excelling at everything.” “Accelerationism is a philosophy of technological progress that emphasizes speeding it up and ensuring progress at all costs. Mog/Acc is a blend of both; it’s a perfect combination—two ideas that complement each other, with memeology helping to spread this philosophy,” he added. Accelerationism, or “acc” in online slang, is the idea that humanity should accelerate technological progress at all costs. Whether it’s artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, biotechnology, or automation, the core is about accelerating the pace, breaking conventions, and pushing forward development.
This has led to the emergence of effective accelerationism (e/acc), a latest branch attempting to make accelerationism practical rather than just a meme. Supporters of this mindset include early cryptocurrency investor Balaji Srinivasan.
In 2023, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposed his own version of e/acc—d/acc, or defensive accelerationism, calling for building technology to drive progress while actively avoiding paths filled with greed or net negatives.
Thus, mog/acc is not merely riding the coattails of the existing accelerationism trend. It is evolving into a unique, internet-native philosophy. e/acc rationalizes the future, d/acc moralizes it, while mog/acc turns it into reality through memes. Adherents abandon lengthy think pieces in favor of cool avatars and shared ‘winner’ language. Whether mog can transcend the realm of tokens or vibes remains to be seen. But for now, it has fully become a manifestation of identity.
