Nobody is bullish on Biden Meme coin LAPTOP? The crypto community collectively distances itself.

BlockBeats News, September 9 - Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. President Joe Biden, is launching his Meme coin LAPTOP on Coinbase's Base network tonight. Trading is expected to begin at approximately 20:00 Beijing time (8:00 AM ET). In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Hunter did not mince words: he is interested in cryptocurrency, wants to make money, and mentioned legal fees.

Market commentators note that most people launch coins for one reason: to make money fast. The official website narrative tells a different story—turning the "laptop" from a weapon in others' hands into his own meme; the airdrop to TRUMP losing addresses is being interpreted as political revenge layered with user acquisition.

The crypto community isn't buying it. X platform host Mario Nawfal mocked the launch: "This laptop went from 'Russian disinformation' to a blockchain asset. America really knows how to recycle." That post became one of the most widely circulated comments. Community objections are specific: the team takes 30%, which to the market is a founder's stash, not a community coin; TRUMP has already demonstrated how political celebrity coins treat retail as exit liquidity, and another one is just season two of the same show; turning his dirtiest public symbol directly into a ticker isn't redemption in the community's eyes—it's commodifying infamy.

On-chain opinion leaders are almost uniformly distancing themselves. KOL Ansem released a 13-minute video titled "thoughts on memecoins & hunter biden's laptop coin," which surpassed one million views, but he did not shill the coin. Base founder Jesse Pollak responded that the team had reached out to Base, "We made a conscious decision not to be involved in the design or promotion"—politics is too complex, and it shouldn't be their role to steer outcomes; Base is a permissionless network where anyone can build.

Cobie drew the line twice: this is not a joint launch between Hunter and Jesse, Coinbase, or Base. Jesse and Coinbase cannot control who launches coins on Base, nor does it constitute an endorsement. Crypto trader Pentosh1's remark was the most quoted: "We finally drew the line at Hunter Biden's meme coin."

The same crowd never endorsed TRUMP either. When TRUMP launched, Cobie was mocked for being "quiet as a mouse," and he replied: what unique insight do you expect me to have on this kind of subject? He also noted that based on founder token holdings, the coin would never pass standard listing criteria. Ansem was more blunt: CT might not even embrace another Trump family coin—celebrity coins get attention for a few hours and then nobody cares. Lyn Alden had already called the Trump and Melania coin launches back in January 2025 "the final cynical product of this cycle—a digital casino without even the pretense of a product or technology."

Even the platforms are distancing themselves. Pump.fun's official account once posted, "Hunter Biden's $LAPTOP is coming soon. Launching on Base Wednesday 9th September," using a Base-based coin to drive traffic to its own app—only to be slammed for "standing with the rug pullers," and the post was quickly deleted. Kraken's related post was also removed after being screenshotted. Podcasts like MarketBubble refused interviews and publicly turned bearish. The reason for the deletions is simple: fierce community backlash—publicly endorsing it any further would tag them as "another political cash-grab coin." TRUMP has already dropped roughly 97% from its peak, with nearly a million addresses collectively losing about $3.8 billion.

For now, LAPTOP looks more like a "high-hype pre-launch token": the launch date is locked in ahead of time, the contract and website have already leaked, copycat tokens have already churned millions in trading volume, the team's 30% allocation is an open secret, and platforms and influencers are collectively cutting ties. There may be an impulsive pump at launch, but the attention built up during the pre-launch phase, airdrop expectations, and speculative copycat positions will all seek an exit once the real token goes live. The hype is real—but almost no one in the community genuinely believes in it.
