The Story of FLRBRG

This is the remarkable story of the FLooR cheeseBuRGer, or just $FLRBRG, for short. The correct disemvowelment for Floor Burger should have been FLRBRGR but the last R is missing. The cheese also went missing.

Everything seemingly began in 2019

@beeple, or Beeple, or Mike Winkelman, an American digital artist posted what is believed to be the first art piece prominently featuring a Cheese burger.

2019–12–07 02:17 UTC

beeple posts a tweet "#everydays — MEAT HEAD" featuring what looks like Donald J Trump's head split down the middle, revealing inside is a cheese burger 🍔

On his head is a blue bird s(h)itting. A reference to Twitter?

There are three pigs or piglets walking around and drinking blood red water off of the ground.

@beeple posts a tweet with the title "MECHA KIM JONG-UN GIVING BABY DONALD A CHEESEBURGER"

The Cheese Burger, did it touch the floor?

Floor Cheese Burgers, loads of them. Is Santa giving them away or about to perform coitus on them?

@beeple posts a tweet on Mother’s Day (As it is observed in USA). The tweet is featuring an art piece showing a (female?) robot giving birth to The Floor Cheese Burger 🍔

The title is MOTHER'S DAY.

On the ground is the cheese burger accompanied by 6 (wild) pigs or piglets.

The tweet is quickly followed by another, further explaining the imagery

@beeple tweets "OFFERING"

OFFERING

The Offering features the crying heads of Kim Jong Un piled up.

In front of the cluster of heads is a turkey, 6 apples and 5 Floor Cheese Burgers.

There are some random people doing weird stuff as well.

Note the person on their knees looking away from us.

And we jump to 2023.

The Original $FLRBRG tweet by @beeple.

Note the time.

This clearly states to not start buying coins named $FLRBRG and not starting to eat burgers that fell on the ground.

Just a cheese burger?

The floorcheeseburger.com domain mentioned in the tweet is registered within 3 minutes.

Don't go to floorcheeseburger.com and connect your wallet

The way back machine archives floorcheeseburger.com with a redirect to OpenSea

04–19 03:30 UTC

@ThisIsKodiak "claims" to be Beeple, in Two Bit Bears discord server. They have at least acquired the floorcheeseburger.com domain and linked it to the Two Bit Bears NFT collection on OpenSea. Clever. This was later confirmed to be a marketing stunt and a protection mechanism to avoid that anyone with Evil intent acquired the domain.

The $FLRBRG contract is deployed

The Creator spends $56 in gas fees to create the final contract.

The symbol is FLRBRG

The name is Floor Cheese Burger

The solidity contract name is FloorCheeseBurger

The contract address is 0x9138C8779A0Ac8a84D69617D5715BD8AFa23C650

The deployer wallet is 0x627f29733ab8db0433fd7c25be3c15fe766a175e

The total supply is 69,420,000,000.

Link: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x7e3bc4d049cfe05fab7954e8a5ab34a7592fc55e2bfd1674d54b61f598d0a51d

04–19 03:51 UTC

1.7 Eth ($3,292 at the time) and all of the 69,420,000,000 tokens are added as liquidity, meaning there are no tokens distributed or airdropped.

The liquidity is represented by LP tokens (a coin representing the pairing of FLRBRG and WETH) in Uniswap a total off 343,531.658 UNI-V2 tokens (Contract: 0xe3550f8399C8622Ab2c0B2e48856598321CB9b56) with the public name tag Uniswap V2: FLRBRG 6

Anyone can add and remove additional liquidity, but this is the initial supply of LP tokens.

The initial coin price is thus 0.0000000566 and starting market cap is $3,292

The Creator spends $240 in gas fees on this transaction.

04–19 03:52 UTC

The Creator burns all the LP tokens by sending all the initial LP tokens to the dead address. (0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD)

A common practice to ensure no one can access the LP and later remove it (or split it). The tokens paired are forever bound in Uniswap.

At this point The Creator has spent a minimum total of $4,225 in creating the contract and providing liquidity for trading. And then donated the contract to The Community.

Since the contract is a basic ERC-20 solidity contract with no Ownable interface, the contract can be considered renounced, meaning no entity owns or controls the smart contract.

The contract even mentions in the first lines that the token or coin is to be community owned.

04–19 03:53 UTC

The Creator leaves a “hidden message” in a transaction to themselves on the blockchain pointing back to the $FLRBRG tweet:

https://twitter.com/beeple/status/1648521515221020672

Link: https://etherscan.io/tx/0x721be40ca30225f6115dc3938092d4cfb594865a5c22c53e0d4bd52a4a1169a4

Notice the time, 7 minutes before midnight in EDT, beeple's timezone.

Beeple's $FLRBRG tweet happened almost one hour earlier. One hour earlier than usual. He would usually post an art piece right before midnight as part of the Everydays project: Creating one art piece per day every day and posting it before end of day.

Is the hidden message the last piece of the art piece puzzle this day?

Notice the time.

@beeple posts GARY GENSLER SHILLING SHITCOINS

Gary Gensler shilling shitcoins

Featuring Gary Gensler, the current chairperson of the SEC, holding a cheese burger under his left arm. Four cheese burgers are placed on the floor in front of a stand and $FLRBRG mentioned alongside $PEPE, $CHAD and $WOJACK among others.

Right under the text LITERAL GARBAGE !! one can notice a mouse cursor.

@beeple post TURBO MAXXXXX SUPER PUMP AI JACKOFF SESH

This isn't by itself very interesting for the $FLRBRG story. Let's appreciate the timing and the date.

But the following thread message is:

This could be indicative of Beeple having created and deployed a token tied to a everyday project.

It is likely though that the first tweet referring to $TURBO a token released April 29. And the following tweet either referring to a different token just released by someone after seeing the first, or a hint that he himself released a token. There is no clear candidate among the $TRBNR tokens and again several of them are obvious scams. None where launched at the time of the second tweet as far has been discovered.

@beeple post ELON GIVING GENSLER A RIDE TO MARS

Featuring Gensler behind Elon Musk on a space rocket. The 3d model is seemingly identical to the one in GENSLER SHILLING SHITCOINS and one of the more clever and subtle references to $FLRBRG. As the chairperson is holding a floor cheese burger 🍔 in his left hand not visible from the camera angle.

This tweet tries to explain this with a picture:

@beeple posts CASINO AFTER DARK featuring $FLRBRG referenced 3 times among other memecoins.

Close up markup of the FLRBRG references.

All the references to FLRBRG are hand written. There might still be more references on the screen but many of the symbols are unreadable with Today's technology.

Note the resemblance to the kneeling person in the OFFERING

Link: https://twitter.com/beeple/status/1656146662295842816

This is when The Community awoke and started researching the $FLRBRG coin.

Several contracts with the symbol $FLRBRG were deployed right after the tweet. Several of these quickly removed liquidity or otherwise "rugged" the project.

The contract deployed by The Creator was found to be very basic with no issues apparent, and verified by various tools.

With the liquidity burned and not many substantial wallets holding tokens, it was open for trading and just waiting for the right community to pick it up.

Now who is The Creator?

2023–05–20

Update: $FLRBRG hit all time high of 694,200 $ at the initial pump.

The Community has through donations updated dextools and applied for Coingecko and CMC listing

Community is working hard on next steps, including a NFT PFP collection possibly called Fallen cheeseburger

The Community has sent a hidden message to The Creator, but alas there has been no activity on the wallet since the last transaction which we are coming back to in part 2 of the story.

The Community are currently focusing on the next big milestone which will be International Burger Day May 28th 🍔

There has been no further cheese burger messages from Beeple at this point in time.
