Chillguy (CHILLGUY) 价格因模因可能被抄袭的猜测而下滑
Chillguy (CHILLGUY) 是过去几天最活跃的模因之一，在有证据表明其主要图像被抄袭后开始下滑。消息传出后，CHILLGUY 的股价从 0.19 美元下跌至 0.17 美元，延续了 12 月中旬以来的跌势。
Chillguy 扩大了损失，几分钟内从 0.19 美元跌至 0.17 美元。一系列社交媒体帖子显示，有证据表明该模因的主要图像抄袭了在泰国分发的一本小册子，随后价格行动随之而来。
原始图像发布在 Reddit 上，指向小册子页面的单个图像。由于缺乏其他图像或附加信息，人们对证据的真实性产生了怀疑。此外，该小册子的版本也存在冲突。
一些人声称发布的图片来自泰国，是八年前印刷的，而另一些人则指出六年前在越南的出版物。总体而言，这场争议正在社交媒体上引发了围绕代币的更多炒作，其中一些人炒作抄袭，而另一些人则认为整个故事是为了围绕代币制造更多的 FUD。

Previously, Chillguy was considered the original creation of cartoonist Phillip Banks. Banks himself was touchy about using the image, even intending legal action to protect his creation. Despite this, the image was widely used on TikTok and became the avatar of a whole collection of meme tokens.
Up to 30 versions of CHILLGUY or similar tickers exist, spreading on Ethereum, Solana, and Base. The main version was the one affected by the discovery of what social media considers plagiarism.
Is CHILLGUY still the original?
Some doubted the evidence of actual plagiarism, where claims were made that the character was taken from a Vietnamese leaflet created six years ago. Skeptics did not see additional evidence and suggested the image may be AI-generated or manipulated in some way.
Phillip Banks has posted an Instagram image suggesting the suspicions are unfounded and the plagiarism is based on a faked image. Banks has not communicated through X to explicitly refute the claims and rarely pays attention to the meme community.
The story was appealing enough that some of the large influencer accounts repeated the message of suspected plagiarism. Others found evidence that Banks denied all claims, while the image raised red flags of being AI-generated.
Others noted that the booklet is not actually years old, and may be printed after the creation of Chillguy. In fact, when showing the reverse image search, Google indexes the age of subreddits, and not the image itself, which may be more recently printed.
CHILLGUY controversy produces new meme token
According to the original claims of plagiarism, the booklet called the character ‘Relax Boy’. This is just the name that the meme market needed, immediately launching RELAXBOY on Solana. The token graduated to Raydium and is already in price discovery mode.
RELAXBOY is just hours old and has already gone through a 700X rally, followed by a 67% crash. The new asset still has just $232K in locked liquidity, though the token is creating a social media movement. Just hours after the token’s launch, CHILLGUY whales bought in. For traders, the actual verification of the image is less important.
The spreading of images and rumors on TikTok shows the short video social app may also play a big role in the meme token market.
If RELAXBOY was not enough, the market also produced Just a Chill Dog (CHILLDOG), playing on the remixed illustration hype. The new asset is just as risky as RELAXBOY, though both tokens have seen intentions of creating social media movements and rising to a higher valuation.
