I Flew 15 Hours for This? The Time Fogo Fest Became "BOGO Fest" and We All Lost It 💃
Gather 'round, children. Let me tell you the story of how a serious Layer 1 blockchain conference turned into the funniest 45 seconds on Crypto TW.
It was September 2025. Seoul. Korea Blockchain Week. @Fogo Official throws Fogo Fest—big speakers, big suits, big talk about "Innovate Finance Day" . Banks, trading firms, the whole nine yards. Then, between the panels on latency and the Firedancer client, something magical happened.
Dancers. On stage. In coordinated outfits. Going absolutely HAM.
And then came the reply that broke me:
"You mean BOGO Fest?" therealchaseeb
BOOM. Instant meme. BOGO Fest. Like "Buy One, Get One," but also a subtle nod to the Bogdanoff twins—the crypto gods of "pamp it" . The thread exploded. Someone called it the "least cringe thing" they'd seen. Another guy immediately claimed "BOGO Fest i like."
Meanwhile, the Fogo team is probably in the back like, "Guys, we have a $13.5M raise and a Citadel alum, can we focus?" . Nope. Too late. The meme has escaped containment.
But here's the twist this is actually good. Fogo is fast (we know this). Fogo has serious backers (we know this). Fogo just got Binance's attention with that hybrid AI-meme narrative . But moments like BOGO Fest prove that crypto isn't just about the charts. It's about a bunch of degens watching a dance video and turning a high-finance conference into a group chat inside joke.
So yes, Fogo, your tech is elite. Your TPS is insane. But thank you for the dancers. Thank you for the 15-hour-flight guy. And thank you for giving us BOGO Fest—the memecoin that hasn't launched yet but already lives in our hearts .
Now someone please deploy a BOGO token so we can close the loop.
