Chillguy (CHILLGUY) 價格因模因可能被抄襲的猜測而下滑
Chillguy (CHILLGUY) 是過去幾天最活躍的模因之一，在有證據表明其主要圖像被抄襲後開始下滑。消息傳出後，CHILLGUY 的股價從 0.19 美元下跌至 0.17 美元，延續了 12 月中旬以來的跌勢。
Chillguy 擴大了損失，幾分鐘內從 0.19 美元跌至 0.17 美元。一系列社交媒體帖子顯示，有證據表明該模因的主要圖像抄襲了在泰國分發的一本小冊子，隨後價格行動隨之而來。
原始圖像發佈在 Reddit 上，指向小冊子頁面的單個圖像。由於缺乏其他圖像或附加信息，人們對證據的真實性產生了懷疑。此外，該小冊子的版本也存在衝突。
一些人聲稱發佈的圖片來自泰國，是八年前印刷的，而另一些人則指出六年前在越南的出版物。總體而言，這場爭議正在社交媒體上引發了圍繞代幣的更多炒作，其中一些人炒作抄襲，而另一些人則認爲整個故事是爲了圍繞代幣制造更多的 FUD。

Previously, Chillguy was considered the original creation of cartoonist Phillip Banks. Banks himself was touchy about using the image, even intending legal action to protect his creation. Despite this, the image was widely used on TikTok and became the avatar of a whole collection of meme tokens.
Up to 30 versions of CHILLGUY or similar tickers exist, spreading on Ethereum, Solana, and Base. The main version was the one affected by the discovery of what social media considers plagiarism.
Is CHILLGUY still the original?
Some doubted the evidence of actual plagiarism, where claims were made that the character was taken from a Vietnamese leaflet created six years ago. Skeptics did not see additional evidence and suggested the image may be AI-generated or manipulated in some way.
Phillip Banks has posted an Instagram image suggesting the suspicions are unfounded and the plagiarism is based on a faked image. Banks has not communicated through X to explicitly refute the claims and rarely pays attention to the meme community.
The story was appealing enough that some of the large influencer accounts repeated the message of suspected plagiarism. Others found evidence that Banks denied all claims, while the image raised red flags of being AI-generated.
Others noted that the booklet is not actually years old, and may be printed after the creation of Chillguy. In fact, when showing the reverse image search, Google indexes the age of subreddits, and not the image itself, which may be more recently printed.
CHILLGUY controversy produces new meme token
According to the original claims of plagiarism, the booklet called the character ‘Relax Boy’. This is just the name that the meme market needed, immediately launching RELAXBOY on Solana. The token graduated to Raydium and is already in price discovery mode.
RELAXBOY is just hours old and has already gone through a 700X rally, followed by a 67% crash. The new asset still has just $232K in locked liquidity, though the token is creating a social media movement. Just hours after the token’s launch, CHILLGUY whales bought in. For traders, the actual verification of the image is less important.
The spreading of images and rumors on TikTok shows the short video social app may also play a big role in the meme token market.
If RELAXBOY was not enough, the market also produced Just a Chill Dog (CHILLDOG), playing on the remixed illustration hype. The new asset is just as risky as RELAXBOY, though both tokens have seen intentions of creating social media movements and rising to a higher valuation.
