GrandmaWifCoin

The Gravedigger has witnessed many branding experiments. GrandmaWifCoin takes the prestigious honor of Most Unexpected Demographic Target in a token launch. The pitch: "your grandma is also based now." The logo: a Norman Rockwell-style grandmother wearing a backwards baseball cap that said "NGMI" (not gonna make it — a peculiarly self-aware choice). The marketing: inexplicable.

And yet, inexplicably, it worked. The wholesomeness of the concept — combined with a genuine organic Twitter moment where someone's actual grandmother posted about owning the coin — drove GrandmaWifCoin to a $14M market cap. For 8 days, it was the feel-good story of CT. The grandmother, whose Twitter handle was @PattyMortimer_Boca, posted updates about checking the chart. The community loved her. They called her "Grandma Patty."

The dev rugged on day 9. They took $1.1M in liquidity. Grandma Patty's last tweet was: "Did something happen? The number went very small 😟." The internet, in one of its rare moments of collective guilt, felt genuinely bad about this. GrandmaWifCoin is survived by Grandma Patty, who we are told has since gotten into Bitcoin instead and is "doing fine actually."
