Goatseus Maximus (GOAT)
Summary
Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) is a Solana-based memecoin launched on October 10, 2024, via Pump.fun by an anonymous deployer, whose rise was driven almost entirely by the AI agent Truth Terminal promoting the 'Goatse Gospel' internet-culture narrative on social media. The token reached a peak market capitalization above $1 billion in November 2024 — the first Pump.fun token to achieve that milestone — before declining more than 98% from its all-time high by mid-2026. It carries no formal whitepaper, no disclosed development roadmap, no utility, and its creator remains anonymous; its value is derived solely from speculative attention and an AI-generated cultural narrative.
