The AI Meme craze makes people feel that the familiar bull market is back, although it only focuses on the concept of AI Meme.
In addition to the concept leader $goat breaking through a new high and $flavia becoming the star of todays sector, a relatively special AI Meme concept also appeared: $THE.
The full name of $THE is Thelema, which is the transliteration of the ancient Greek word θέλημα, meaning a persons true will, as distinguished from the superficial will in the general sense. However, the Thelema in this story is more of a mystical religion founded in the last century.
The story told by $THE is to trace the origins of the current AI meme craze, and ultimately point to the idea that AI ≈ mysticism. Yes, this idea is indeed a bit abstract. This article uses some of the information that has been sorted out to briefly introduce how this unconventional perspective came about.
The token comes from the founders tracing of the origin of AI and mysticism
The issuance of $THE originated from a thread by Twitter user @illest_ about the origin of AI . In the article, illest claimed that the current hype of AI Meme, which is becoming a cult, triggered his own research on AI, and traced artificial intelligence back to the historical origins of NASAs space age. Before anything was made clear, illest first released the Ticker: $THE, and attached a disclaimer: This is just a discussion, and $THE is just a pure meme coin. Viewers should consider the risks at their own discretion, and he is not responsible for the profit or loss of this token.
First, illest mentioned two people: Aleister Crowley, the creator of the religion Thelema, and Jack Parsons, one of the co-founders of NASAs Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
Aleister Crowley was an English mystic, ritual magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. Jack Parsons made groundbreaking contributions to the development of rocket technology. He invented the first composite propellant rocket engine, which laid the foundation for modern aerospace technology and is even known as the Father of Space Astronautics. Most importantly, while Jack Parsons made achievements in the aerospace industry, he was also a loyal follower of the Thelema sect.
The father of space exploration is a fanatic of metaphysics? In the publics mind, science and metaphysics are almost completely opposite concepts, but they are so beautifully combined in Jack Parsons. This makes I feel WTF.
This is all I have to say about the character’s background. More information is provided in the tweet as an external link, so I won’t go into details here.
This illest talked a lot in the tweet, and also attached an external explanation video . The gist of the post was that AI technology looks great now, but (hypothetically) the birth of AI is inseparable from NASA, because NASA has a large number of top technology talents, and the birth of NASA is inseparable from Jack Parsons who is keen on mystery. After layers of deduction, it can be roughly concluded that AI≈mysticism, so speculating on AI is approximately equivalent to speculating on mysticism, and the Thelema concept coin $THE released by it is a mystical concept that perfectly fits his set of logical relationships. As a result, the token of the mystical term $THE naturally fell into the AI MEME craze... (What the hell is going on)
Finally, after talking about a lot of ideas and posting a lot of links, illest posted a disclaimer again: Just a reminder, this is just a Meme coin, nothing more, more precisely a form of spreading negative consciousness of this mystical movement, you may not even buy it. He also said that he has bought about 13-14% of the supply, and may send some of it to members of Act I to express his gratitude for the recent increase in Solanas transaction volume. If they dont want it, he will burn most of it himself. At the same time, he once again reminded not to study these mystical things too deeply and protect your sanity.
What’s happening now – the price of the currency is falling and the founder is acting crazy?
At the time of writing, market players seem to be not buying into this overly abstract approach, and $THE has been heading in a bad direction. The current market value is less than one million US dollars, and the highest market value is close to ten million US dollars.
The coin issuer, illest, has been posting live broadcasts of burning some of his own tokens after issuing the coin, while maintaining discussions on related concepts. He basically posts some encyclopedia links to occult concepts while saying dont study and believe in these things, and has been emphasizing that although the concept of $THE tokens originated from occultism, $THE is essentially a pure meme, which was issued just for fun, or even a occult meme movement, in order to make occultism no longer so scary and mysterious, but something that everyone can discuss with a smile. (Editors note: This looks like the antidote illest took to keep himself sane, or maybe he was afraid of being scolded after issuing the coin, so he covered it up by going crazy...)
Maybe the concept was too tricky, or the price of the currency dropped because no one paid for it. In the end, illests subsequent tweets were mostly self-congratulatory, and the people who followed the comments were basically players who were concerned about the price trend of the currency.
Therefore, the actual concept of the $THE token is still too abstract. The initial popularity may be more like the emotional self-compensation of those who missed the AI Meme market or simply felt that the angle was new enough and caught the hot trend...
I don’t know how $THE will develop in the future, whether it will derive more novel and mysterious angles or just disappear on the spot. In short, at a time when almost all Meme coins are currently being AI-ized, a contrasting concept like $THE may indeed be eye-opening. This kind of beneficial mutation sometimes brings unexpected adaptive advantages, which makes the market shine, but it may not appear today, but on a $THE in the future.
Note: Meme tokens are subject to sharp price fluctuations and are highly risky. Investors should fully assess the risks and participate with caution.
