He survived poison. Bullets. A frozen river. Now he's on the blockchain. The origin of $RSPN.
In December 1916, a group of Russian nobles decided Rasputin had to die.
They poisoned his wine. He drank it and asked for more. They shot him. He got up. They beat him, shot him again, and threw him into the frozen Neva River.
The autopsy found water in his lungs. He was still alive when he hit the water.
110 years later, Vitalik tried to summon a blockchain oracle and got Rasputin instead.
$RSPN is the result of that accident.
Most meme coins have:
- a dog,
- a frog,
- or a vague reference to something that was funny in 2021.
The idea behind #RSPN is building an actual Rasputin crypto universe around the meme:
📺 The Crypto Series — Rasputin awakens in 2026 Montreal, discovers TikTok, launches a coin, and faces his eternal enemy.
🎮 The Game — a roguelite where you play as Rasputin and other unlockable characters while surviving waves of aristocratic assassins.
🌍 The Movement — meme wars, faction battles, community lore, and eventually real-world stunt content.
Hard to kill. Impossible to forget.
Would you actually follow a meme coin project that tries to build a full story/world around itself instead of just posting charts and frog memes?
