what's Let's Go Brandon Coin?
Lets Go Brandon Coin ($FJB) was a Binance Smart Chain (BEP-20) memecoin launched in late 2021, capitalizing on the viral conservative slogan "Let's Go Brandon" as a coded anti-Biden phrase. It positioned itself as a digital asset for patriotic Americans, with promoters Steve Bannon and Boris Epshteyn announcing strategic ownership to build a parallel "patriot economy" bypassing mainstream finance. The token featured standard memecoin mechanics like transaction taxes potentially for liquidity/charity, but included developer backdoors allowing token minting/freezing, raising rugpull concerns. It rebranded to Patriot Pay amid promises of a conservative payment app/wallet linking merchants and consumers, though the project stalled with frozen funds and legal disputes.
