TL;DR
· MOG Coin is a popular meme coin on the Ethereum and Base chains, gaining widespread popularity by promoting a cultural shift known as mog/acc, which combines mogging and accelerationism.
· Influential figures like Elon Musk and Garry Tan have embraced the mog/acc trend, significantly boosting the value of MOG Coin.
· mog/acc is evolving into an internet-native philosophy focused on the "winner" language of technological advancement and sharing. Dogecoin takes a back seat. 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 better, 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.
From Y Combinator founder Garry Tan to X owner Elon Musk, influential X accounts have joined the mog/acc craze, changing their avatars to characters wearing Pit Vipers. The price of MOG has risen over 11% in the past week, with an increase of more than 130% in nearly 30 days. Companies in the Solana ecosystem, such as Raydium and Jupiter, have also joined this trend, changing their online avatars to cats or mascots wearing Pit Vipers and labeling them "mog/acc."
One community member even developed a mog/acc bot that can automatically convert any avatar into the aesthetic style pursued by mog/acc followers, which quickly went viral just hours after launching early Wednesday morning.
But what exactly is mog/acc? Followers have very specific views on this.
"Mog accelerationism is about extending the mog meme culture into the realm of technological advancement," meme coin thought leader @Virotechnics told CoinDesk in a Telegram message. "It’s about winning, competition, and excelling in everything." "Accelerationism is a philosophy of technological progress that emphasizes speeding up its pace and ensuring progress at all costs. Mog/Acc is a blend of the two; it’s a perfect combination—two ideas complementing each other, and meme culture helps 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, cryptocurrency, biotechnology, or automation, the core is to speed up, break conventions, and drive future development.
This has given rise to effective accelerationism (e/acc), a recent branch that attempts 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 the construction of technology to drive progress while actively avoiding paths filled with greed or net negatives.
Thus, mog/acc is not just hitching a ride on 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 makes it a reality through memes. Followers abandon lengthy thought 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.
