trading_axe is a pseudonymous trader and poster on X, best known as the other half of the exchange with Andrew Tate that coined the word "retardio." For years he signed his posts with a "Remilio" tag, and when he dropped that tagline under a Tate post in January 2024, Tate's mocking reply mangled it into the word that named the retardio coin and became general trench slang. He posts under the display name "ً" and the in house persona "Dr. Axius," with a bio reading "BILLIONAIRE. UNDEFEATED FIVE TIME CT CHAMP." and about 154,000 followers as of July 2026. In August 2026 pump.fun airdropped him more than 65 percent of the $AXE creator coin supply, worth almost 500,000 dollars, within minutes of him joining the platform's app.

Origin: the retardio exchange

For years before 2024, trading_axe signed his posts with a "Remilio" tag, a reference to the Redacted Remilio Babies NFT collection, sister project to Milady. In late January 2024 he dropped that tagline under a post by Andrew Tate's @Cobratate account. Tate replied mocking him and, in the wording community accounts preserved, closed with "Retardio or whatever u call urself," a deliberate mangling of "Remilio" that coined the word. One retelling summarized the spawn directly: "A cult spawned from @trading_axe dropping his Remilio tagline on @Cobratate post and Tate responded with 'Retardio or whatever u call urself.' Cult formed, Coin was made, coin mooned today." A variant of the lore holds Tate also sent trading_axe a direct message reading "get my name out your mouth, retardio"; that version is community reported and unconfirmed.

trading_axe leaned into the insult rather than fighting it. In March 2024, as the resulting RETARDIO coin crossed 30 million dollars market cap, he wrote "Retardio was and is a GREAT CT MEME... Forget the origins and Tate trying to beef me." He still uses the coinage himself, replying to a joke in January 2025 with simply "Retar Dio." A trader who bought RETARDIO on day one later recalled holding the position to a 120,000 dollar profit.

Dr. Axius persona

trading_axe posts under the in house persona "Dr. Axius," with a bio reading "BILLIONAIRE. UNDEFEATED FIVE TIME CT CHAMP." The billionaire branding and self declared champion status are part of the character rather than a literal biography, in the exaggerated persona register common to Crypto Twitter trader accounts. He remains an active commentator across crypto and adjacent culture under this voice; weighing in on Robinhood's tokenization push in 2026, he wrote "The whole point was to tokenize RWA."

The August 2026 $AXE airdrop

Within minutes of trading_axe announcing on X that he had joined the pump.fun app, the platform airdropped him more than 65 percent of the $AXE creator coin supply, worth almost 500,000 dollars. The official Pump.fun Ecosystem account broke the news and stressed "The position remains untouched," presenting the windfall as proof of how pump.fun recruits Crypto Twitter personalities onto its app with creator coin supply.
