Over the last little while, it’s become apparent that Captain Kirk himself is a major fan of cryptocurrency and Ethereum in particular. It’s not just typical celebrity bandwagoneering, either — Shatner flexed some legitimate knowledge when he leapt to Vitalik Buterin and Ethereum’s defense in a recent Twitter spat, even citing specific EIPs.

This act of valor did not go unnoticed by the crypto community and extremely online Trekkies (we can safely assume there’s a fair amount of demographic overlap at work), and thus, #ShatnerHODL was born. That’s why you’re seeing an onslaught of fresh Trek-themed crypto memes making the rounds, and why we’ll signal boosting #ShatnerHODL on our social media throughout the day!

After all, you never know where the next generation of crypto enthusiasts will come from…

UPDATE: Count this one as a WIN in crypto memes. Beam us up #ShatnerHODL
