THE UNOFFICIAL INTERNET FIELD GUIDE TO
LAUNCHING: $DICKBUTT ON ROBINHOOD CHAINUNOFFICIAL TOKEN TRANSMISSION
In 2006, before Bitcoin, Dickbutt escaped from a webcomic and became property of the internet.
In 2013, Robinhood began dismantling the barriers that kept ordinary people outside the financial markets. First came commission-free trades. Then crypto. Then markets that could live entirely onchain.
Robinhood Chain was built to bring ownership onto open financial rails. $DICKBUTT brings internet culture onto those same rails. No corporate mascot. No fake utility. No promise of returns. Just an original internet artifact, carried forward by the people who kept it alive.
The oldest joke. The newest chain.
DICKBUTT.IMG — ACTUAL SPECIMEN
Dick Butt is K.C. Green’s drawing of an anthropomorphic phallus with testicles and another phallic form extending from the rear. Online, it is commonly hidden in an image or animation and revealed at the end.
