100 Men Take on a Gorilla in New Steam Game, But What Happens with 100 Degens Battling 1 Gorilla Whale?

DISCLAIMER: The following text is a part of an initiative aimed at connecting Bitcoin and cryptocurrency events to the wider internet culture. It features satirical elements and may include fictional names, events, tokens, or quotes strictly for entertainment. Any names of memecoins mentioned are purely coincidental and bear no association with the discussed entities.

A sequence of games exploring the question of whether 100 individuals could triumph over a gorilla has been hinted at for the past month. Today, one of these games, titled ‘100 Men vs Gorilla,’ has been launched and is now playable within a day.

The tagline states,

“Can 100 individuals conquer a gorilla? Enter the arena and engage in the internet’s most ludicrous yet thrilling debate.”

Starting tomorrow, you’ll be able to challenge the gorilla as a collective of 100 men on Steam. Right now, however, you can engage in gameplay pitting degens against whales. Just log into any crypto platform or DEX, gather 100 friends, and attempt to influence market movements.

The introductory level initiates on Solana with any lesser-known memecoin. The whale represents the developer, and you along with your fellow degens can quickly manipulate the price in mere minutes.

The advanced level can be tackled with any coin or token across the broader cryptocurrency landscape that has a market capitalization exceeding a few million.

BrosephCryptoson shared on social media,

“Totally crushing level 24 tonight. Join my Discord to participate in the alpha degens vs GORILLAWHALEINU on Solana at 18.00 EST. No lie, we’re going to send that token to the moon, bro.”

For those seeking a tougher challenge, gather your companions and face off against Bitcoin—the ultimate adversary in the crypto realm, presenting an enduring test for you and your 100 crypto allies.

The Debate of 100 Men vs 1 Gorilla

The crypto community has responded by establishing a DAO to determine if 100 traders could outmatch a whale.

The Steam page for 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla promises mayhem: one silverback, a single arena, and 100 vulnerable individuals rushing in energetically.

In a matter of hours, Crypto X (previously known as Crypto Twitter) transformed the scenario into a market metaphor. A viral discussion (with 270 million views and climbing) suggested a Web3 simulation: “Can degens out-vote a whale when each punch incurs a gas fee?”

The top 100 Bitcoin wallets collectively control 14% of the entire BTC supply. That translates to 100 wallets holding enough assets to demoralize retail investors faster than a sudden “scheduled maintenance” announcement from Binance.

Whale activities frequently wipe out billions, as seen in April when over $1.58 billion in long positions were liquidated in a single day of chaos.

Conversely, DAO proposals often struggle with turnout rates lower than a casual night of poker on Discord. Tokenholders frequently miss votes, with participation levels often dropping below 10%.

So, if you envision a DAO-driven showdown against whales, keep in mind: it often boils down to just a few participants and a governance bot throwing punches while the whale checks the time on its Rolex.

Nonetheless, one DAO has announced a BANANA memecoin “airdrop for fighters,” intended to gamify the challenge of battling whales by making each hit cost gas fees. Traders can vote on their strategies to spread out, dogpile, or feign a rug pull. Yet, each strike depends on coordination from those who typically ignore governance alerts unless personally prompted by influential figures.

TikTok quickly adopted the metaphor. One comedic scenario featuring traders in LED glasses encircling a gorilla garnered 41,000 likes. Discussions on Reddit compared it to the retail investor’s perpetual fantasy: if we all buy at the same time, perhaps this time the whale will vanish instead of us.

The game launches on May 22. The DAO? It resides within the humor that connects us all.

Whether in a digital arena or within crypto markets, when 100 average individuals take on a powerful entity with laser focus and substantial resources, it’s likely that someone’s portfolio will end up in the proverbial tree.
