TL;DR
· MOG Coin is a popular meme coin on Ethereum and Base chains, gaining widespread popularity by promoting a cultural shift called mog/acc, which combines mogging and accelerationism.
· Influential figures like Elon Musk and Garry Tan have embraced the mog/acc trend, significantly boosting MOG Coin's value.
· mog/acc is evolving into an internet-native philosophy, focusing on technological progress and a shared "winner" language. Dogecoin steps aside. The new meme coin sweeping the tech Twitter core is more than entertainment; it's about a mindset.
MOG Coin is a hot token on Ethereum and Base chains, attempting to bring about a cultural transformation through "mog/acc" - a combination of mogging (slang for being superior, 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 mog token's influence beyond the crypto sphere.
Influential X accounts from Y Combinator founder Garry Tan to X owner Elon Musk joined the mog/acc wave, changing their avatars to characters wearing Pit Vipers. MOG price has risen over 11% in the past week and more than 130% in the last 30 days. Companies in the Solana ecosystem, such as Raydium and Jupiter, have also joined the trend, changing their online avatars to cats or mascots wearing Pit Vipers and noting "mog/acc".
A community member even developed a mog/acc bot that can automatically convert any avatar to the aesthetic style pursued by mog/acc believers, which quickly went viral after launching just hours earlier on Wednesday morning.
But what exactly is mog/acc? Believers have very specific views.
"Mog accelerationism is extending mog meme culture to the realm of technological progress," meme coin thought leader @Virotechnics told CoinDesk in a Telegram message. "It's about victory, competition, and excelling in everything." "Accelerationism is a philosophy of technological progress that emphasizes accelerating its pace and ensuring progress at all costs. Mog/Acc is a hybrid of the two; it's a perfect combination - the two ideas complement each other, and meme culture helps spread this philosophy," he added. Accelerationism, or "acc" in online slang, is the idea that humans should accelerate technological progress at any cost. Whether in artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, biotechnology, or automation, its core is to speed up, break conventions, and drive future development.
This gave birth to effective accelerationism (e/acc), the latest branch trying to make accelerationism practical rather than just a meme. Supporters 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 building technology to drive progress while actively avoiding paths full of greed or net negative outcomes.
Therefore, mog/acc is more than just riding the existing accelerationism trend. It is evolving into a unique, internet-native philosophy. E/acc rationalizes the future, d/acc moralizes it, and mog/acc makes it real through memes. Believers abandon lengthy thought pieces in favor of cool avatars and a shared "winner" language. Whether mog can transcend the realm of tokens or atmosphere remains to be seen. But for now, it has become a complete manifestation of identity.
