Musk and Garry Tan support "Mog/Acc" identity, pushing MOG coin price to rise

PANews reported on May 7 that according to CoinDesk, Meme Coin MOG Coin on Ethereum and Base is triggering a cultural trend in the circle of technology elites. This token based on Ethereum and Base chain combines "mogging" (online slang, meaning to get stronger and faster) with "accelerationism" to form a unique "mog/acc" cultural movement. Opinion leaders from Y Combinator founder Garry Tan to Musk have replaced the iconic Pit Vipers colorful sunglasses, driving the token to rise 11% this week and a monthly increase of more than 130%.

Accelerator philosophy advocates promoting technological change at all costs, and mog/acc transforms it into a disseminated visual symbol through Memetic means. Solana eco-projects such as Raydium and Jupiter have joined the campaign, changing the official avatar to a cat or mascot wearing Pit Vipers. Some developers even make robots that automatically generate mog/acc style avatars, which spread virally for a few hours after they are online.

This is an interesting contrast with the "defensive accelerationism" (d/acc) proposed by Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin in 2023 - the latter emphasizes that technological development needs to evade greed. mog/acc completely stripped away the theoretical shell and used Meme to build the Internet native identity. Analysis points out that this practice of transforming abstract philosophy into wearable symbols is replicating the spread path of Dogecoin's "Shiba Inu Spirit" back then.
