A series of games simulating the debate over whether 100 men could win a fight against a gorilla has been teased over the last month. Today, one of those games, ‘100 Men vs Gorilla,’ finally dropped and is available to play in under 24 hours.
The tagline reads,
“Are 100 men enough to defeat a gorilla? Step into the battlefield and join the internet’s most absurd and epic debate.”
Tomorrow, you can challenge the gorilla as an army of 100 men on Steam. However, you can play degens vs whales now. Simply log in to any crypto exchange or DEX, grab 100 buddies, and attempt to move markets.
Easy mode starts on Solana with any low-cap memecoin. The whale is the developer, and you and your fellow degens can easily move the price within minutes.
Hard mode can be found on any coin or token across the crypto ecosystem with a market cap above a few million.
BrosephCryptoson tweeted,
“Legit beating level 24 tonight. Hit up my Discord to join the alpha degens vs GORILLAWHALEINU on Solana at 18.00 EST. No cap we slaying that token to the moon bro.”
However, for a true hardcore permadeath mode, grab your friends and battle against Bitcoin itself, the end boss of the crypto industry, and a forever challenge for you and your 100 crypto bros.
100 men vs 1 gorilla debate
Crypto responded by organizing a DAO to see if 100 traders could beat a whale.
The Steam listing for 100 Men vs. 1 Gorilla promises chaos: one silverback, one arena, and 100 fragile dudes charging in like leverage bros on a green candle.
Within hours, Crypto X (formerly Crypto Twitter) turns it into a market allegory. One viral thread (270 million views and counting) proposed a Web3 simulation: “Can degens out-vote a whale if every punch costs gas?”
The top 100 Bitcoin wallets control 14% of the total BTC supply. That’s 100 wallets holding a chunk big enough to flatten retail morale faster than a Binance “scheduled maintenance” tweet.
Whale moves regularly erase billions, like in April, when over $1.58 billion in longs were liquidated in a 24-hour bloodbath.
Meanwhile, DAO proposals limp along with turnout lower than a Discord poker night. Tokenholders routinely skip votes, with participation often below 10%.
So if you’re picturing a DAO-powered anti-whale brawl, understand: it’s mostly nine guys and a governance bot throwing punches, while the whale checks its Rolex.
That didn’t stop one DAO from announcing a BANANA memecoin “airdrop for fighters,” aiming to gamify whale-battling by making each swing cost gas. Traders vote on strategy, spread out, dogpile, or fake a rug pull. Though every punch needs coordination from people who famously ignore governance notifications unless Vitalik personally pings them.
TikTok seized the metaphor instantly. One sketch of traders in LED glasses circling a gorilla racked up 41,000 likes. Reddit threads likened it to retail’s never-ending dream: if we all just buy at once, maybe this time the whale explodes instead of us.
The game? It drops on May 22. The DAO? Lives within the shitposter in all of us.
Whether it’s a digital arena or crypto markets, when 100 squishy humans take on a behemoth with laser focus and deep pockets, odds are somebody’s portfolio is going to get flung into a tree.
