During a recent AMA session, Hoskinson revealed he turned down a surprising $3 million offer for Nike, calling him “a priceless pig” and affirming, “He’s still a good pig.”
The clip quickly made waves on social media, sparking laughter and admiration across the community. More than just a lighthearted moment, it gave a glimpse into the playful side of one of crypto’s most prominent figures. And naturally, in classic crypto fashion, it didn’t stop there.
The saga began back in June 2024, when Hoskinson casually posted a tweet featuring Nike. The internet, ever quick to react, ran with it—birthing a memecoin dubbed NIKE within hours.
The token saw explosive traction in the Cardano ecosystem, hitting nearly $1 million in market cap in just 12 hours. While some hailed it as a fun tribute and example of the crypto space’s meme magic, others raised eyebrows at the fast rise of yet another memecoin.
Still, the story of Nike the pig continues to capture hearts—and charts—reminding everyone that in crypto, even a pig can go to the moon.
