Characters change scenery

BIBI, Meimei, Yuri, Black Shiba and the flying Tesla: who supplies a name, and who borrows an image?

A diamond smiles, a cat dresses as a bee and a car crosses languages. This week’s characters have simple visual signs, but their stories become complicated when we ask who chose them and who can speak for them.

BIBI builds its video series. Meimei enters an AI-made Tesla. Black Shiba borrows the language of a technology demonstration. Promoters add contracts to images already circulating beyond markets.

Yuri sets an explicit boundary: her team denies authorising any token. The contract followed here differs from the previous Runner. Five new stories examine how memes are transmitted, translated and sometimes contested.

02 / BIBI / WEEKLY STORY

BIBI: a yellow smile starts the conversation

A small diamond, two eyes and a series of videos: the account builds a character while its name raises questions about what it actually represents.

A face before a function

BIBI’s diamond displays neither a chart nor an interface. Two black strokes form its eyes and a small mouth supplies a smile. The account banner places Binance AI beside the yellow character. Its pinned post on 13 October welcomes a new day and displays the exact contract. The documented starting point is a face and an address, not a demonstrated financial assistant. [1] [2]

The visual choice works at a small scale: the geometry remains recognisable in a profile picture, while its luminous material gives it a mascot’s presence. That is an interpretation of the account’s imagery. It does not make BIBI a Binance product or establish an official relationship with the company. The name claimed by this account is not independent confirmation. [1]

Giving the character a daily life

Later posts put the name into situations. One video is presented as “Powered by BIBI”; another announces a weekend with CZ. The titles borrow from product language and a character’s miniature series. We treat them as posts by the token’s promoter, not evidence that CZ uses it. [3] [4]

Several replies to the first post simply greet BIBI. On 17 October, RWA Mandy asks the account to obtain a blue tick. The detail reveals one participant’s expectations about presentation and credibility; account verification alone would not prove a token’s affiliation with a brand anyway. [2] [5]

This is a familiar shift in the trenches: people address a mascot as an interlocutor and then expect it to have something to do tomorrow. Clips can support that familiarity. The challenge is giving the character recognisable situations without relying solely on famous names.

What the diamond already carries

BIBI has a consistent visual sign and an account publishing its contract. Those are concrete elements of identity. The consulted sources do not document an AI service operated through this token or official adoption by Binance. Filling that gap with features from another similarly named project would distort the story.

This week’s story is therefore the emergence of a mascot. Its smile makes the first contact; a video series attempts to extend it. Future creations, and what participants make of them, will show whether the diamond becomes more than a familiar name painted yellow.

03 / 特斯拉能飞 / WEEKLY STORY

The flying Tesla crosses languages

On BNB, 特斯拉能飞 adopts the week’s object with its own contract. Its relays combine an institutional post with explicitly fabricated edits.

An official post, an added address

On 17 October, the White House account jokes about getting flying cars before GTA 6. In his own post, bigwynenergy quotes it and adds the BNB address of 特斯拉能飞. The join is visible: the institutional publication carries no contract; the relay places one beside it. [8] [9]

The Chinese name says Tesla can fly. It conveys almost without explanation the same object as Flying Tesla Roadster on Solana, but it is not the same asset. The addresses differ; a community discussing a car does not automatically become the community of a particular contract.

The car becomes an editing tool

On 18 October, wuduoBNB pairs the address with another scenario: a Grok Imagine-associated edit in which a flying car enables a spectacular escape. The participant imagines such videos might attract a Musk reaction and further edits. That is his narrative wager, not an event we observed. [10]

The distinction between a fabricated image and an automotive fact matters here. The edit creates a readily shareable scene. It documents neither a real chase nor a production vehicle’s capabilities. What is observable is the use of the same object to connect humour, technology and token promotion.

A relay on 16 October had already attached the contract to a remark attributed to Musk about the arrival of flying cars. The repetition shows the method: find another publication about the object, then repeat the address. It does not measure how many purchases any post caused. [11]

One vehicle, several communities

The movement between English and Chinese is part of the story. The vehicle is recognisable before the text is read; the local name then supplies a short phrase to share. The meme can cross a language boundary faster than readers identify the right market.

Our reading is that this portability is both its strength and its difficulty. A flying car can enter many videos. Each community must still explain why its contract should be the gathering point. The White House post does not settle that question: it adds another image to a conversation several tokens already want to inhabit.

04 / YURI / WEEKLY STORY

Yuri: one character, several contracts, one refusal

This week’s chosen contract is not the previous Runner’s. Around the same character, participants continue debating support, fees and which address to follow.

The statement holders cannot substitute

On 12 October, the HQ account issues an explicit refusal on behalf of Yuri and her team: they have issued or authorised no crypto token. The statement concerns use of the name and image. It is a position from the people behind the character, not a comment holders’ enthusiasm can turn into approval. [14]

In the replies, alexmaxbid offers another interpretation: traders supposedly created coins after media coverage of the artist’s work and directed fees to her name. That remains the respondent’s explanation. It establishes neither receipt of fees by the artist nor consent to this contract. Two ideas meet in the thread: paying tribute and obtaining permission are different things. [15]

The address is part of the story

This week’s selection concerns 0x315c…7777. The previous Runner covered 0xeeb8…7777. Transferring figures, mechanisms or an assumed team from the old address to the new one would create false continuity. The character is shared; the token’s case must be rebuilt.

As early as 12 October, NYang368 comments on fragmentation across labels and includes the address followed here. On 18 October, BuBiDUCK still presents three contracts in the same discussion. These posts document a fragmented market around the name without establishing that any participant has authority over Yuri’s identity. [16] [17]

Another participant, 0x_3p, questions the need for the artist’s support and discusses fee destinations while citing this address. The debate is therefore not merely about choosing the most recognisable meme. It also concerns how holders justify using its image. [18]

What the story requires us to separate

HQ’s refusal sets a clear boundary: this token must not be presented as an official Yuri launch. Holders’ statements about their intentions do not erase it. They are the story’s material precisely because they show a community trying to retain a character after receiving a negative answer.

The next chapter is therefore less about a promised collaboration than about participants’ ability to describe honestly what they are doing. A meme can circulate without its subject choosing to carry it. Here, multiple contracts expose that distance and require the artist’s name, her refusal and the market address to remain distinct.

05 / BS / WEEKLY STORY

Black Shiba: the dog described as a machine

Two-tone fur and a tail-wagging engine: the language of a technology demonstration becomes memecoin material.

Specifications for cuddling

On 14 October, an Alibaba Cloud post presents a Black Shiba in the language of a product launch. It describes ultra-soft fur, all-day cuddling and tail movement as an advanced engine. Links to Qwen Cloud and Model Studio accompany the video. We found the post quoted in several publications carrying the BNB contract examined here. [21] [22]

The mismatch supplies the joke: ordinary canine qualities become technical specifications. The name Black Shiba then makes the image immediately available for a ticker. In guapi2235’s post, the address is followed by a promotional question about a valuation of one or ten million. Those are imagined targets, not observed highs. [21]

The relay adds what the source does not say

The quoted Alibaba Cloud publication does not mention this contract. Accounts repeating it make the connection to the asset themselves. Nearby posts by guapi2235, 0xabooo and 0xXian trace that circulation; their proximity does not establish who created the token or whether the posters coordinated. [21] [22] [23]

The story is therefore not the discovery of a financial dog created by Alibaba. It shows how a humorous demonstration already offers traders a mascot and a name. AI infrastructure remains in the original post’s links; the token uses its most recognisable, repeatable element.

This separation also prevents the contract being credited with the cited services’ functions. No consulted source demonstrates that holding BS grants access to Qwen, Model Studio or an Alibaba product’s revenue. Shared vocabulary is not technical integration.

What remains after the product announcement

The black shiba has an obvious visual advantage: it can be adapted without lengthy explanation. That ease also makes the connection reproducible by other contracts. For readers, the address remains the way to distinguish this particular adoption from other possible uses of the dog.

The week’s most revealing detail may be the tail “engine”. Technology language had made an animal amusing; the relays send it back into a technology market. Between those steps, the token’s actual function has not been demonstrated. The documented story is a fast, interested cultural translation.

06 / MEIMEI / WEEKLY STORY

Meimei: the bee climbs into the Tesla

The cat in yellow and black arrives on BNB with a reputation outside crypto. Its promoters are already inserting it into the week’s imagery.

A costume worth remembering

The profile picture shows a tabby dressed as a bee, complete with antennae and yellow-and-black stripes. The banner claims it is China’s most famous cat. That superlative belongs to the promotion; the verifiable detail is immediately memorable: a feline face inside an insect costume. [27]

On 14 October, the account posts its contract and quotes a China Daily video. The outlet describes Meimei as an eleven-year-old female cat from Guangzhou whose videos circulate widely and whose images fans turn into memes. That source concerns the animal and its visibility, not approval of a BNB token. [26]

Borrowing an audience is not owning it

The introduction also invokes Punch, offering readers a precedent to recognise. This is a promotional shortcut: familiarity with another famous animal makes a possible trajectory imaginable. It establishes neither a shared community nor comparable results for Meimei. [26]

In the replies on 15 October, Linhan emphasises Meimei’s presence on BSC. The network detail is part of holders’ work: when an image already exists beyond crypto, they must repeatedly identify the address they attach to it. A report can explain why the cat appeals without choosing the contract traders should follow. [30]

The bee costume nevertheless gives the character a more specific identity than a generic cat. It preserves a silhouette and two recognisable colours in small images. Our reading is that this specificity helps the character stay identifiable when its surroundings change.

The flying-car detour

On 18 October, the account says Meimei finally has a flying Roadster in China and tags Musk and Tesla. The publication is labelled AI-made. Another video that day carries the same indication. This is a staged character scenario, not a documented encounter with Tesla. [28] [29]

The edit joins the automotive story crossing both chains this week. It gives the cat another situation without removing its identity. Promoters can connect an established animal celebrity to a recent technological conversation.

Meimei’s interest lies in this double circulation: cat enthusiasts provide images and holders reposition them in the trenches’ current affairs. The consulted sources show this connecting work. They do not allow the animal’s fans, its entourage and the people promoting its contract to be treated as one group.
