$MOG
The first 'culture coin' — an aesthetic, not a mascot.
“MOG sold a vibe instead of a character. Brave move. Mostly worked. The 'we're so back' of meme coins.”
I. Origin
Launched mid-2023 on Ethereum as a 'culture coin' rather than a single-mascot meme. The brand is the energy of 'mogging' — winning effortlessly.
