THE BIRTH OF THE MEME
Before cats and dogs flooded crypto⌠there was the Alpaca.
It wasnât just an image â it was a moment. In 2011, Bitcoin pioneers highlighted a real merchant called Grass Hill Alpacas, one of the first shops in the world to accept BTC. It wasnât long before the image of a single, wide-eyed Alpaca came to represent something bigger â a symbol of Bitcoin's earliest breakthrough. The image of the Alpaca spread fast â through Sladshot mockups, forums, early Bitcoin communities, and even a tweet from core developer Gavin Andresen, who proudly bought Alpaca wool socks using Bitcoin.
That humble creature became something bigger: a symbol of recognition, a spark of legitimacy, and â arguably the first true crypto meme.
Media outlets like Forbes and Wired picked it up. Long before laser eyes and market cycles, this fluffy and adorable creature quietly marked the moment Bitcoin crossed from theory to reality.
In today's world few memes have a real story â and roots this deep.
The Alpaca is different. Itâs a symbol of utility, resilience, and the original spark that helped crypto be taken seriously.
Few people know that. Now you do.
