Summary
Tensions arise between owners of real-life Shiba Inu dog Achi and Solana community over NFT auction of iconic photo, causing backlash from the WIF meme coin community. Achi’s parents previously had a bad experience with a meme coin project on Solana, leading them to partner with Feisty DAO for the NFT auction. Despite WIF’s massive market capitalization, there has been little communication or outreach from the community to Achi’s owners. Feisty DAO is open to re-minting the NFT on Solana if there is interest from the community.
Key Points
1. Recent tensions have arisen between users in the Solana ecosystem and owners of the real-life South Korean dog who inspired the Dogwifhat (WIF) meme coin, leading to discord in the pet paradise of Shiba Inu-themed meme coins.
2. The owners of the Shiba Inu featured in the Dogwifhat meme, named Achi, announced plans to auction an NFT of the original photo of Achi wearing a woven beanie. The NFT is currently up for auction on the Ethereum NFT platform Foundation, with a current bid of over $182,000.
3. Despite complaints from the WIF community about the NFT drop and the decision to partner with Feisty DAO instead of the WIF team on Solana, Achi’s parents opted to work with Feisty DAO due to a previous bad experience with launching the ACHI meme coin on Solana.
