# Welcome to Hamsterdance

## Background

Back in the dawn of the Internet, many pages languished in an unnetworked, low-bandwidth void.  Before Doge, before Shib, Pepe and Wojack, little was known of the lively and animated memes that would dominate our culture, messages, and even our money.

Then came Hampton the Hamster.  A simple creation of a Canadian art student named Diedre Lacarte, Hamsterdance proceeded to crash its GeoCities page with unprecedented traffic.  Hamsterdance became one of most trafficked pages of its time and, according to CNET, the "#1 web fad."

But despite having a top-rated webpage, appearing on CNET, CNN, and CBC, and having a YouTube video with over 34 million views, Hampton is missing something.  Doge, Shib, Pepe, and Wojack still have something that Hampton lacks.\
\
Hampton still doesn't have his own meme coin.

Until now.
