Over the past few weeks, bitcoin markets have slid from the near $20K price region all the way down to $6K territory and there’s one crowd who is loving it every time bitcoin’s value dumps.

When Bitcoin Prices Dump Buttcoiners Pop Bottles of ChampagneThe Reddit forum /r/buttcoin has been around for years now trolling bitcoin enthusiasts anytime the community receives negative news. Buttcoiners have a Twitter handle, a Buttcoin Foundation, and a very popular subreddit. Since bitcoin’s meteoric rise in 2017 and the subsequent price decline in 2018, Buttcoin subscribers have grown exponentially in number. Currently there 18,444 ‘Captains of the Industry’ subscribed to the Buttcoin subreddit, and there are around 855 subscribers ‘shilling’ right now. The group’s forum really started picking up significantly over the past six weeks during bitcoin’s 65 percent decline. Further, the administrators of Buttcoin say although they love to celebrate bitcoin’s failures the group doesn’t hate the cryptocurrency.

“I feel like every once in a while we must clear this up: Buttcoin is not anti-Bitcoin, it’s pro-comedy,” say’s Buttcoin’s Twitter account.  

And Bitcoin produces a lot of comedy.

‘If Bitcoin Dies We Do Too’

Perusing through the group’s forum shows a lot of memes, negative bitcoin articles, and Twitter links to well-known figures who dislike bitcoin. For instance, you can often find Peter Schiff’s or Paul Krugman’s tweets being upvoted to the front page on /r/buttcoin.

Today Buttcoiners are celebrating the fact that the exchange Binance is temporarily down for maintenance and they’re making fun of bitcoin traders who are freaking out. They laugh at ICOs who scam people and run off with investor funds, while also poking fun at the tether fiasco as well. However, this week an original Buttcoin member who calls himself, “Barry Oners” stated in an interview that Buttcoiners really don’t want to see bitcoin die.

“If bitcoin dies, we die too — I sincerely hope bitcoin never dies,” explains Oners.

You Know You Can’t Bet On the Price Correctly — But You Can Surely Bet Buttcoiners Will Be There to Celebrate Every Time Bitcoin’s Price Falls

The Buttcoin community is just as lively as any other band of cryptocurrency supporters, but they’re not. They are united because they aim to mock the common bitcoin user’s errors, losses, and the protocol’s faults. Just like the price memes on the Reddit forum /r/bitcoin celebrating the price going up, when bitcoin’s fiat value plummeted below the $7K zone Buttcoiners cheered with glee. One particular shill wrote that evening:

“We are about to break the $7k barrier; everybody get to the boardroom — We have caviar, champagne, and bonuses for all of you!”
