**rasmr** is a crypto streamer, podcaster and market commentator who became one of the most clipped personalities on [[Crypto Twitter]] during 2026. He streams meme coin trading sessions, appears across the crypto podcast circuit, and produces the kind of quotable moments that travel from X to TikTok edits, a loop that has repeatedly made him the main character of the timeline. He has jokingly described himself as "the adin ross of crypto."

## Career

Before trading, rasmr built an audience as a looksmaxxing content creator; a podcast episode he amplified in August 2026 is chaptered "Turning looksmaxxing into a trading brand," crediting that background for his pivot into memecoins. An early viral moment came in November 2024 with "Once big black twitter accounts realize they can make millions shilling memecoins its fucking over BLACK TWITTER, MY HAND IS REACHING OUT TO YOU," around the same period he began describing himself as "the adin ross of crypto," a line he later reused as "The adin ross of crypto is back." His X account dates to November 2011 and had grown to about 135,000 followers by mid August 2026; he also streams on Twitch as rasmrr and posts on YouTube as @rasmrr.

rasmr built his following as a streamer showing his own [[the trenches|trench]] trades live, with documented plays on coins such as MARS and ODIN, and grew through podcast appearances including the TG Podcast episode "Saving Memecoins, PUMP's Future, Crypto Streamers" on Threadguy's channel and a "How I Became the King of Crypto Memes" interview on the Decypher Podcast channel. In early October 2025 the account @imperooterxbt (scooter) mocked a clip in which, by the poster's characterization, rasmr teaches another man how to launch a token while keeping 95 percent of the creator fees for himself. In July 2026 he bullposted CASHCAT as undervalued, a call that drew pushback from at least one small account calling "rasmr and jakey fudding RH" an obvious counter signal. In early July 2026 he went through a wave of backlash that crypto Twitter shorthand calls his cancellation, detailed below. In a later interview with [[FaZe Banks]] he described the aftermath as the low point of his run, telling Banks directly that "it's been an unexplainable stretch I got canceled early July couldn't eat lost my appetite but stayed locked in and just focused on trading"; streaming those sessions consistently rebuilt his audience, and fan accounts began floating him as "the next Kimchi," a comparison to the folklore trader credited with a 40 million dollar TRUMP run.

He is also a recurring voice in the Kimchi mythology itself. His riff that "Kimchi is folklore... you need to hit PNLs to get respect in this world" circulated widely in August 2026 during the Banks driven Kimchi wave, the same attention cycle documented in clip aggregator accounts. When Kimchi appeared on rapper Gunna's Instagram story on August 14, 2026, rasmr posted "Kimchi is really on Gunna story Traders are the new celebrities... crypto is actually going mainstream," adding that he had used a Gunna song as his stream intro two days earlier, calling it "Literally gives me the chills."

## The July 2026 backlash

The most widely engaged documented flashpoint at the start of the backlash rasmr later dated to "early July" is a clip that circulated on July 3, 2026 via @kai_xbt (509 likes), showing rasmr admitting on stream that when he used to make memecoin comparison videos, "my videos would impact the chart a little bit," and that he would buy the coins before filming and sell into the pump, naming a "Michi versus Nubcat" video as an example. The clip's timing and the reply activity around it point to it as the trigger for the backlash that followed, though rasmr has not stated outright that this admission caused it.

Discourse on the clip split. @zubic_eth (37,000 followers) wrote "Obviously it's not right... but Rasmr is not the only one who's done this or does this. He's just the first one to openly say it on a livestream. This space is riddled with crap like this." Mockery ran in the other direction too, with posts summarizing the philosophy as "forget about whatever morals you have and rug whoever is dumb enough to listen to you... (This TED talk was brought to you by the rasmr school of cryptocurrency)." Replies also referenced "the michi stuff" as shorthand for the episode.

It was not his first cancellation. In clips circulating in May 2026 he described an earlier one and a change in approach: "When I got canceled last time I stayed silent. But what I really should have done is clap back at every single person. Look at their profile, whatever the worst thing they've done, highlight it."

## The ex girlfriend clip

In mid August 2026 rasmr went viral for a different reason. A clip spread in which he described sending 1,500 dollars to an ex girlfriend who had cheated on him, after months of no contact, framing the gesture as proof of indifference. Crypto Twitter did not read it that way: the clip drew days of ridicule, with widely shared posts sarcastically summarizing the move as "if you ever get cheated on just send the person who cheated on you money... great advice from Rasmr." The episode became an instant entry in the timeline's roster of self inflicted main character moments, and rasmr's name trended alongside the mockery.

Rather than fight the mockery, rasmr leaned into it. On August 18, 2026 he retweeted the viral "if you ever get cheated on just send the person who cheated on you money" dunk himself, followed it with "Mf's don'f realize I'm playing 4d chess," and days earlier had posted the bit "A real man does not derive his self worth from what women think. He derives it from what strangers on the internet think."

## Ansem devotion

rasmr's attachment to [[Ansem]] predates his August 2026 coin promotion. On July 8 to 9, 2026 he posted "Ansem knows exactly what he's doing, going silent while another runner moons... Just a season fucking vet of this shit man"; asked by @sumfattytuna whether he was "the LeBron of glazing," he replied "At least im the LeBron of something."

The devotion turned promotional in mid August 2026 when he backed an Ansem themed coin. Over August 15 to 17 he posted "from now on, I would like to be referred to as 'the ansem guy,'" "The only coin you can't vamp… Ansem," "Wish I had more ANSEM, but soon everyone else will too," and "Ansem is literally a founder now, and the projects token is only 150m circ." Ansem himself, posting as blknoiz06, wrote on August 17, 2026 that "rasmr's come up as a streamer & a trader past two years has been cool to watch" (826 likes), a post rasmr retweeted.

## fomo and the terminal debate

By August 2026 rasmr's X bio read "streaming // watch me trade on @fomo," positioning him as a promoter of the trading app [[fomo]]. On August 16 he posted "fomo is rendering new pairs and lowcap trenching obsolete Thank God" and "Terminals are degenerate cope imo," placing him on the anti bundle checking side of [[the trenches]] discourse that month over whether to check a token's bundle before buying.

## Content and catchphrases

Mid August 2026 also saw a pivot toward educational and interview content: a video titled "The 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before Trading Memecoins (Learn From My Mistakes)" on August 15, a stream titled "DISCUSSING THE STATE OF MEMECOINS" and an interview with trader @jackduval on August 17 to 18, and a video titled "I Won A $100k Celebrity Poker Tournament" on August 12.

His catchphrases from the period circulated widely on their own: "Trading is the new looksmaxxing"; "Imagine doomscrolling instead of trading Trading is far more addicting and there's actual upside as well"; "trading is so addicting and I keep breaking all of my own rules fuck. lock in"; and, from July 13, 2026, "Sir I have had 100% of my net worth in shitcoins for 5+ years."

## Community coin

A community made RASMR token on [[pump.fun]] is tracked by CoinGecko, which lists no official affiliation with the streamer.

## Reception

rasmr's arc is a case study in how the [[streamer meta]] era manufactures and consumes personalities: virality from trading content, a cancellation, a comeback through transparent PnL streaming, and renewed virality from personal confession, all within about a year. Supporters credit him with showing losses as openly as wins; critics treat him as an [[engagement farming]] adjacent figure whose moments are engineered to clip. Both readings keep him on the timeline.
