THE FIRST CAT
IN CRYPTO.

Before Dogecoin.
Before Shiba.
Before NFTs.
Before animal metas.
There was Sirius.
Sirius was the username of Martti Malmi — the second Bitcoin developer after Satoshi and the founder of the original Bitcoin Forum.

And his profile picture?
An orange cat.

THE CAT WAS ALREADY THERE.

Years before meme coins turned animals into billion-dollar internet assets, one of Bitcoin's earliest builders was already represented by a tiny orange cat.

This isn't recreated lore.
The profile is still sitting on BitcoinTalk.

SATOSHI HAD SIRIUS.

Bitcoin history usually gets reduced to one name:

Satoshi.

But Bitcoin wasn't built in isolation.

Martti "Sirius" Malmi was one of the earliest people to work directly alongside Satoshi Nakamoto.

They communicated directly.

They worked on Bitcoin.

Sirius helped build Bitcoin's earliest community infrastructure.

And while Bitcoin was still being introduced to a tiny corner of the internet, Sirius was using an orange cat as his identity.

WE SOMEHOW CAME FULL CIRCLE.

Crypto spent more than a decade turning cats, dogs, frogs and every animal imaginable into internet money.

Meanwhile one of Bitcoin's earliest developers had an orange cat sitting beside his name from the beginning.

Maybe the first crypto animal was never Doge.
Maybe it was Sirius.

THE CAT BEFORE THE COINS.

Today crypto is filled with animal coins.

Cats became tokens.

Dogs became billion-dollar memes.

JPEG animals became an entire asset class.

But years before any of it existed, a tiny orange cat was sitting beside the username of one of Bitcoin's earliest developers.

It wasn't designed to launch a coin.

It wasn't designed to become a meme.

It was simply there.

And that's exactly why the lore matters.
