🔥 Aptos (⟨c-130/⟩) just had a strong price jump of 17% in 24 hours, reaching a peak of $6.57 – the highest since early February. This event was driven by a surprising community movement led by a trader named BuzzlamicJihad.
Aptos and the “Community Takeover” – A New Trend in Crypto?
The term "community takeover" (⟨t-78/⟩) is spreading widely as a group of investors decides to take control of Aptos by... memes.
📌 The interesting thing is that Aptos is not a meme coin but a seriously built Layer-1 blockchain. However, the meme wave along with posts saying "Aptos looks good" has stirred the crypto community, leading to a strong buying wave.
📌 What’s behind this pump?
BuzzlamicJihad, a previously unknown trader, has been continuously posting about ⟨t-10/⟩ since October 2024, praising this blockchain for being easier to write contracts on compared to Sui.
By December, after CEO Mo Shaikh left, he proclaimed this as the "bottom" for Aptos and continued to buy more.
The slogan "Aptos looks good" began to trend within the community, and even the new CEO of Aptos, Avery Ching, joined in.
From Meme to Movement – Is Aptos the Next “Milady”?
🔹 The Aptos CTO movement resembles the Milady trend on Ethereum, where the community revolves around memes and in-jokes to drive development.
🔹 In chat groups, users are guiding each other on how to connect to the Aptos network, sharing tokens on the Emojicoin.fun platform – a meme coin launchpad similar to Solana's Pump.fun.
🔹 The symbol of this CTO movement is the emoji of a globe wearing a soldier's hat, representing the spirit of "crypto warfare." Some even refer to this as "Aptos' war time," similar to how Ethereum once went through a vibe change.
👉 Can Aptos maintain this upward momentum, or is this just a temporary meme craze? One thing is for sure, the Aptos community has never been as vibrant as it is now! 🚀 ⟨t-45/⟩
