The $BLOCK logo.

BLOCKCOIN ($BLOCK), is the "official" Joshua Block / World of T-Shirts memecoin, created on Solana via pump.fun by Mr. Based.

Overview

The Blockcoin was created on November 25, 2024, during a Based live stream.[2][3] Based reportedly floated the idea to Josh in October 2024.[4]

The logo of the Blockcoin is an AI-generated image of a Bitcoin wearing a captain's hat. Josh's official merch store sells commemorative "$BLOCK Coin" T-shirts featuring this logo, but explicitly states that they are not affiliated with $BLOCK and that it is not investment advice.[5]

Controversies and Speculation

Blockcoin has been the subject of considerable controversy and speculation on r/WorldOfTShirts; concerns were immediately raised about the coin's legitimacy and potential for a "rug pull" scheme, where creators benefit and then abandon the project.

Mr. Based has been a particularly controversial figure, with his past convictions for money laundering and other crimes raising concerns about his involvement. He also made claims like Josh would "quit drinking alcohol forever" if the coin's value were to reach $1.[6] There have been unverified claims that Jason himself cashed out a significant amount of BlockCoin early on.[7]

Josh's Involvement

Josh's involvement in actively promoting the coin independently has been almost non-existent. Even TikTok posts made to his account about the coin (which Based made him create) were immediately deleted in fear of getting B-A-N-N-E-D.[8] In fact, Josh doesn't even seem fully aware what the Blockcoin is.[9]

Tattoo

Based convinced Josh to get a giant tattoo of the AI-generated $BLOCK logo on his arm.[10] This reportedly pumped up the value of the coin by 980%.[11]

Current Situation

Unsurprisingly, the Blockcoin is basically dead, with the coin having a very low market cap and little to no trading activity. In a feeble attempt to revive the coin, Based made TTS donation prices 50% off if paid with Blockcoin.[12]
