The Cult Of Tokabu: The Spirit Of Gambling Is Within Us All

Written by Jason Krutzky, Chartered Meme Technician at Spot Trading.

Hello Gang,

About two months ago, I was scrolling the timeline looking for interesting things, as I often do, and seemingly out of nowhere, I stumbled upon a strange X account posting pictures of this big-nosed character. 

I scrolled the @TokabuTheSpirit feed and came to learn that the character's name was Tokabu, and he was meant to embody "The Spirit of Gambling". 

My interest was piqued, so I did what I always do when I find a new coin that piques my interest: I pinged my group chat to check the coin's stats and see if anyone had any intel on it or the devs behind the account.

The response from chat was muted, which was potentially not the best sign, but the character and the message really resonated with me instantly. 

"If there's one thing here in this meme world of ours that we absolutely all share," I thought, "it's the spirit of gambling." 

So, even though my trader friends didn't seem all that interested, I went ahead and bought a bag so that I would be forced to keep an eye on it. Nothing crazy, just a feeler position, sized for zero, to keep me engaged. 

Then, as I always do once I get involved in a coin, I started posting charts about it every few days on my X account.

This act serves several purposes for me:

• It keeps me honest and allows you to see my thoughts in real time.

• It forces me to actively manage my position. 

• It allows me to get a feel of the community that's watching and invested in the coin. 

  
  

That third bullet point there is really important. I've talked about this before, the idea that social engagement is a key component to a memecoin's success. 

🧘‍♂️The Cult Of Tokabu: The Spirit Of Gambling Is Within Us All

From day one, Tokabu-focused X accounts came out of the woodwork to engage with my charts, and they all had one central message:

"There is no chart. I love you."

Now, for a guy like me, who has spent the last 7 or so years of his life learning about charts, staring at them all day, this was a fairly difficult concept to wrap my head around. 

"What do you mean there is no chart? There literally is ONLY a chart. These are fucking memecoins with zero intrinsic value. All there is is price."

But after enough 'There is no chart, ILY' messages from the Tokabu community, it finally dawned on me. 

There is no chart means:

• To trust in something bigger. There is a greater force at play than what the price has done up to this point. 

• To believe that anything is possible. 

• That The Spirit Of Gambling is in control. 

  
  

I finally got the message, and it made me realize that $TOKABU might be destined for something much bigger than I had initially anticipated.

So, I kept posting charts, because that's what I do, but I prefaced my analysis with 'I know there's no chart, but if there were... this is what I'd be looking for.' 

The team seemed to appreciate my efforts, coining me the 'Tokabu Chart Guy' and even gracing me with my very own, 1/1, Tokabu PFP. I've worn it proudly since. 

💯 Identifying A 100x

So, what's the point of this story? 

Well, first, it's my way of telling you what to look for. This kind of cult-like behavior is exactly what can drive a memecoin to valuations that most people can't even fathom.

In fact, as of today, $TOKABU has officially 100x'd since I pinged my group chat 52 days ago. 103x, to be exact. From a $678k market cap then to over $70m market cap today. 

But I'm not here to brag about that. My position, while up tremendously in percentage terms, is not very big. 

Rather, I'm here to suggest that this narrative of belief is about to dominate the conversation around our space, and likely many adjacent spaces. 

If you're hoping to profit from trading memes, it's your job to hunt down and participate in these sorts of diehard communities.

I'm talking about folks that are simply more committed to the mission than to the gains. They're few and far between, but they're out there, and if you look long enough, you'll know them when you see them.

Honestly, they'll tell you on their own. 

✨ Tokabu's Message To You

Earlier today, I pinged the Tokabu community on X and asked if they had any messages for my readers. I wanted to open the floor to them, as they've been so kind as to open themselves and their beliefs up to me. Here's what they said:

• 'Manifesting the spiritu will change their lives.'

• 'GLWULULULULULU.'

• 'EMBRACE THE SPIRITU.'

• 'GLUWUWUWUWUWU HAHAHAHAH TOKABU CHART GUY SENDU SENDU.'

• 'Everything in life is a gamble and the earlier you embrace tokabu the luckier you will be Oh and GLUWLWUWLUELU.'

• 'Believe. Tokabu.'

• 'Dear Gambulwu, Sendu Sendu. Yuan to SOL —> Sol to Spirit —> Spirit to Candle Sincerely, Fadeduwuwulu.'

• 'TOKABU IN CONTROL.'

  
  

And, finally: 

• 'YESSSSS FENK UUUUU SPREAD THE WORD OF TOKABU BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! IT COSTS NOTHING NOBODY ELSE WILL NO GIMMICKS JUST FICKING BELIEVE IN YOURSELF THATS THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO GET OUT. YOU HAVE IT WITHIN YOU JUST PULL THE TRIGGER AND TOP BLAST THE DIVINE SPIRIT WITHIN YOU.'

🎯 The Takeaway

Here's what the Tokabu Community has taught me, and what it should teach you:

The most explosive opportunities in this space aren't found in spreadsheets or technical analysis. They're found in communities so convinced of their mission that price becomes secondary to purpose.

When you find people who genuinely don't care if they're down tremendously because they're building something bigger than money, pay attention.

When the community creates its own language, rituals, and mythology around a token, that's not just engagement—that's religious devotion.

And in memecoins, religious devotion is rocket fuel.

So next time you're scrolling through endless shitcoins, don't just look at charts and metrics. Look for the believers. Look for the communities that make you think, "These people might actually be insane." Because in this space, the line between insanity and genius is often measured in market cap.

The spirit of gambling lives in all of us. The question is: Are you looking for your tribe?
