PANews reported on August 7th that, according to Decrypt, Carlos Ramirez (nicknamed Whynne, creator of Trollface) stated in his first interview in a decade that he has "no intention" of participating in the surging Solana meme coin based on his creation, citing the capitalist nature of cryptocurrency as a potential interference with artistic expression. Whynne stated that he "constantly" receives tokens for Trollface-related meme coins and has no desire to participate or take legal action against the surging Troll meme coin, which has surged in value by over 1,050% in the past two weeks.
