Milady: The NFT Cult That Somehow Got Both Elon And Vitalik Bullish

Anime NFT cult captures crypto elite attention through memes, controversy, and digital tribalism.
Milady might be the weirdest thing to come out of crypto since that time someone aped their life savings into a token called ASS.
These glossy-eyed anime girls from Remilia Corporation have gone from random PFPs to a full-blown cultural movement that has Elon and Vitalik both taking notice.
And here's the strangest part – you don't even need to buy one to be in the cult.
You just change your profile pic, and bam, you're officially Milady-pilled.
Most NFT projects are gatekeeping communities behind $100k jpegs, while Milady just wants to possess your Twitter account.
The meme that "changing your PFP to Milady will transform your life" has somehow worked better than any whitepaper promises ever could.
These aren't just JPEGs – they're an entire ecosystem with a magazine, a record label, and those creepy little Remilio Babies spinoffs.
It's basically a digital religion at this point, complete with its own lore, inside jokes, and sacred texts that make absolutely no sense to normies.
When the literal founder of Ethereum and the world's richest shitposter are both engaging with your anime girl project, you know you've struck weird gold.
Vitalik has openly endorsed the community, while Elon has interacted with it multiple times.
The entire project operates on so many layers of irony that outsiders can't tell if it's a billion-dollar cultural movement or an elaborate troll.
It's like watching a cult form in real-time, except instead of drinking Kool-Aid, they're just changing their Twitter avatars and speaking in coded references.
Miladycraft is best known for being social commentary disguised as a game server disguised as an art project.
After countless false starts and "probably a scam" pre-sales, they finally dropped CULT token in December 2024.
What other project would market its own token sale as "likely a scam" and still raise millions?
The whole thing operates on a frequency that makes even the most degenerate crypto gamblers stop and go "wait, what exactly am I looking at here?"
Charlotte Fang did more than create cute NFTs with this one – she engineered an entire worldview called "Network Spirituality."
The concept essentially boils down to "embrace your digital self through obscure memes that will make your parents disown you."
Then there's "pre-canceling" – the galaxy brain take that those who get canceled first will be cultural leaders in a future where everyone gets canceled.
It's like a digital death cult, except instead of dying, you just post increasingly unhinged content until you've alienated everyone except other Milady holders.
When Charlotte Fang was exposed as the person behind the controversial "Miya" account in 2022, most projects would have imploded faster than LUNA.
Instead, the community basically said, "yeah, and?" and made it part of their entire mythos.
They didn't distance themselves from the controversy – they doubled down harder than Michael Saylor buying a Bitcoin dip.
In an industry where founders hide from their own shadows, Milady turned its darkest moment into a strength, which is either brilliant marketing or deeply concerning depending on who you ask.
While "legit" NFT projects were busy promising metaverse integration that never happened, Milady was building an actual digital nation.
These anime girls have spawned more cultural impact than 99% of the "blue chip" projects combined, as the line between ironic appreciation and genuine cult behavior disappeared so long ago that even the core community probably can't tell the difference anymore.
We have to wonder if any big Wall Street bankers are secretly considering changing their Twitter PFP to a Milady while telling their colleagues they're "just researching NFTs."
