Remember the story of $QUANT? It repeats.
Bitcoin Wizard Apple Hurler ($BWAH), which operates on the Solana base and holds contract address 8sv4W4uQ9qML87Kr2XFkYBDwsiFEJVZZ1ScsM71Hpump, has experienced a merit-based pump on an epic scale to a market value of $2.97 million as of May 6, 2025. The token’s rise, which the following will refer to as the “Quant 2.0,” reminds one of the Quant meme token saga that was fueled by a notorious devexit and revenge pump.
The BWAH saga began when its 44-year-old dev used a racial slur in a livestream before rug-pulling the project when the market cap was only $200,000 and suddenly ending the stream. The audience was appalled by the incident that saw the dev knock over his chair. In a symbolic move, the crowd rallied behind a fictional “BTC Wizard,” uniting to “throw apples” (represented by the sound of “Bwah! Bwah!”) in a fun act of rebuff. The concerted effort pushed the market cap to $2.97 million as a revenge pump in response to the dev’s betrayal. The 24-hour trading value serves as evidence of the momentum, with $1.2 million, the circulating supply of which amounts to 1 billion tokens, the standard for Solana meme coins.
The tale sounds familiar to the Quant meme coin saga, in which a 13-year-old dev rug-pulled a $1 million market cap that ended in a backlash that gave rise to a revenge pump to $85 million. The $BWAH group was inspired by the saga to refer to the resurrection of their token as a “Quant 2.0,” acknowledging the theme that was common between reviving a community following a dev’s exit. The symbolic BTC Wizard has proved to be a unifying force in bringing a hardcore crowd of Bitcoiners to use betrayal as a source of power.
That the $BWAH community has been able to push the market cap to $2.97 million says a lot about the power of community action in the meme coin world. In comparing the Quant debacle, $BWAH has turned the negative incident into something that brings people together, with the apple-throwing BTC Wizard leading the charge in the resurgence of this Solana-based token.
