Chill Guy Creator’s Legal Threats Impact Viral TikTok Meme Coin

Chill Guy 创作者的法律威胁影响了病毒式的 TikTok Meme 币

In a post on X (Twitter), Banks announced his plans to take legal action for any unauthorized use of his artwork for monetary gain.

在 X（Twitter）上的一篇帖子中，班克斯宣布计划对任何未经授权使用其艺术作品获取金钱利益的行为采取法律行动。

“Just putting it out there, chill guy has been copyrighted. Like, legally. I will be issuing takedowns on for-profit-related things over the next few days. Not like brand accounts using him as a trend, that is kind of something I do not really care about (I just ask for credit. or Xboxes.). Mainly unauthorized merchandise and shitcoins,” Banks stated.

“只是把它放在那里，冷静的家伙已经受版权保护了。就像，合法地。我将在接下来的几天内对与营利相关的事情进行删除。不像品牌帐户将他作为一种趋势，这是我并不真正关心的事情（我只是要求信用。或 Xbox。）。主要是未经授权的商品和垃圾币，”班克斯说道。

The Chill Guy meme went viral on TikTok, where its relatable depiction of a laid-back character resonated with millions. The parody meme coin quickly became a hot topic on Crypto Twitter and TikTok, with influencers, presidents, sports brands like UFC, LA Clippers, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), and everyday users using it on social media. The coin’s rapid growth is attributed to the increasing influence of platforms like TikTok in shaping crypto trends.

Chill Guy 表情包在 TikTok 上疯传，它对悠闲角色的相关描述引起了数百万人的共鸣。这款模仿模因币很快成为 Crypto Twitter 和 TikTok 上的热门话题，影响者、总统、UFC、洛杉矶快船队、巴黎圣日耳曼 (PSG) 等体育品牌以及日常用户在社交媒体上使用它。该代币的快速增长归因于 TikTok 等平台在塑造加密货币趋势方面的影响力不断增强。

At its peak, the Solana-based coin had over 100,000 holders, making it one of the fastest-growing meme coins in terms of user adoption. However, as is typical of meme coins, the hype was short-lived. Banks’ legal threats and the inherent volatility of the meme coin market caused a nearly 67% drop in market cap, which stood at around $187 million after reaching a peak of $579 million on Wednesday.

在鼎盛时期，这款基于 Solana 的代币拥有超过 100,000 名持有者，使其成为用户采用率增长最快的模因代币之一。然而，正如模因币的典型特征一样，这种炒作是短暂的。银行的法律威胁和 meme 币市场固有的波动性导致市值下跌近 67%，在周三达到 5.79 亿美元的峰值后，市值降至 1.87 亿美元左右。

Banks’ announcement highlights the growing tension within the meme coin sector. While memes like Chill Guy can generate viral trends and massive economic activity, their creators often find themselves on the sidelines with little to no financial benefit from the frenzy.

银行的声明凸显了模因币行业内日益紧张的局势。虽然像“Chill Guy”这样的模因可以产生病毒式流行趋势和大规模的经济活动，但它们的创造者经常发现自己处于观望状态，几乎没有从这种狂热中获得任何经济利益。

In his post, Banks clarified that his legal actions would not target non-commercial uses of Chill Guy. For example, he showed leniency towards brands using the meme, such as when the gaming brand Halo used the artwork in a tweet.

班克斯在帖子中澄清，他的法律行动不会针对 Chill Guy 的非商业用途。例如，他对使用模因的品牌表现出宽容，例如游戏品牌 Halo 在推文中使用了该艺术作品。

“When Master Chief trades you his plasma pistol for your rocket launcher but you’re just a chill marine,” Halo wrote.

“当士官长用他的等离子手枪换你的火箭发射器时，你只是一个冷酷的海军陆战队员，”光环写道。

Banks responded humorously by asking Halo for an Xbox in return. He said, “Hello, Halo. Since you used my art, can I have an Xbox? Thanks.”

班克斯幽默地回应，向 Halo 索要一台 Xbox 作为回报。他说：“你好，哈洛。既然你用了我的作品，我可以拥有一台 Xbox 吗？谢谢。”

Crypto Community’s Reaction to Banks’ Demands

加密社区对银行要求的反应

Banks’ legal stance was met with amusement and guidance from the crypto community. Well-known figures on Crypto Twitter advised him to monetize the situation rather than pursuing litigation.

银行的法律立场遭到了加密社区的嘲笑和指导。 Crypto Twitter 上的知名人士建议他利用这种情况货币化，而不是提起诉讼。

“Brother, just ask for a 2% token supply as is tradition and be happy,” user Thelema quipped.

用户 Thelema 打趣道：“兄弟，按照传统要求 2% 的代币供应量就开心了。”

Meanwhile, some crypto executives, like Solana Legend, the co-founder and managing partner at Frictionless Capital and MonkeDAO, highlighted the cultural significance of the Chill Guy meme. The prominent figure in the Solana ecosystem noted that the platform offers a unique way for people to discover crypto through relatable memes.

与此同时，一些加密货币高管，例如 Frictionless Capital 和 MonkeDAO 的联合创始人兼执行合伙人 Solana Legend，强调了 Chill Guy 模因的文化意义。 Solana 生态系统的知名人士指出，该平台为人们提供了一种通过相关模因发现加密货币的独特方式。

“Chill guy is becoming the Bored Ape Yacht Club / OpenSea moment for normies to be onboarded onto crypto. 5 minutes on TikTok and you can see people discovering memes,” the analyst wrote.

“冷静的家伙正在成为普通人加入加密货币的无聊猿游艇俱乐部/OpenSea 时刻。在 TikTok 上花 5 分钟，你就可以看到人们发现模因，”这位分析师写道。

The viral success of CHILLGUY showcases TikTok’s increasing role in driving crypto adoption among non-crypto natives (normies). However, this latest episode also demonstrates the volatility of meme coins, where hype often trumps fundamentals. Early investors in CHILLGUY rode a wave of speculation, driven largely by TikTok, only to see their gains evaporate as the momentum shifted.

CHILLGUY 的病毒式成功展示了 TikTok 在推动非加密货币原住民（规范者）采用加密货币方面发挥的日益重要的作用。然而，最新一集也展示了模因币的波动性，炒作往往胜过基本面。 CHILLGUY 的早期投资者在 TikTok 的推动下掀起了一波投机浪潮，但随着势头的转变，他们的收益却蒸发了。

While Banks’ legal threats have stalled the meme coin’s momentum, they also highlight the challenges of monetizing intellectual property in the digital age. His attempt to protect his creation may set a precedent for other meme creators who are navigating the commercialization of their work.

虽然班克斯的法律威胁阻碍了模因币的发展势头，但它们也凸显了数字时代知识产权货币化的挑战。他保护自己创作的尝试可能会为其他正在将其作品商业化的模因创作者树立先例。
