IT STARTED IN
THE FUNNIES.

July 2013. In a Dilbert strip, Dogbert invents a currency and names it Bertcoin himself — then vows to rule the world and refuses to show his face.

THE FORUM
RAN WITH IT.

BitcoinTalk #260841 declared Dogbert the real Satoshi and spun up the whole empire — Mt. Bert, BertExplorer, BertPay. Then the thread went quiet for a decade.

ASKED IN 2013.
ANSWERED IN 2026.

The thread’s last question — “so, who is launching bertcoin now?” — hung there for thirteen years. Nobody did. Until now.

THE FIRST DOG COIN
IS NOW.

The oldest crypto meme on the internet, finally minted. Community-driven, zero pretense.

THE FIRST DOG COIN.

Bertcoin was named in a Dilbert strip back in July 2013 — the oldest dog in crypto. A punchline that sat waiting for over a decade.

JUL 2013

Bertcoin in the funnies

In a Dilbert strip, Dogbert invents a digital currency and names it Bertcoin himself. An anonymous genius's coin.

JUL 2013

Dogbert is Satoshi

A BitcoinTalk thread argues Dilbert's dog is the real creator of Bitcoin. It becomes forum legend.

2013–2025

The thread goes quiet

The punchline sits dormant on BitcoinTalk for over a decade, waiting for someone to get the joke.

2026

The community takes over

$BertCoin is reclaimed on Solana. The first dog coin finally gets its coin.

THE ORIGINAL
CRYPTO MEME.

July 22, 2013. A BitcoinTalk user named Phinnaeus Gage posts a thread titled “Dogbert is Satoshi Nakamoto!”— arguing that Dilbert's megalomaniacal dog is the real creator of Bitcoin.

“I invented a digital currency that I call Bertcoin. Soon I will control all of the money in the entire world. BUWHAHAHA!”

— Dogbert, Dilbert strip · July 2013

The coin already had its name from the funnies — Bertcoin— so the forum runs with it, giving every Bitcoin fixture a Bert version: Mt. Bert, BertExplorer, BertPay, Bert Baccarat.

THE PROOF?

“Dogbert and Satoshi have the same amount of letters. This is exactly what Satoshi would do to cloak his identity.”

That thread sat dormant for over a decade. BertCoin is the punchline that became real.

THE PROPHET VANISHED

Phinnaeus Gage — the man who named the dog — last logged into BitcoinTalk on June 6, 2020. Then he disappeared. Exactly like Satoshi did.
