What Is $MIM? A Guide to Magic Internet Money
Jan 15, 2026
$MIM, short for Magic Internet Money, is one of the most iconic meme tokens built on the Bitcoin-native Runes protocol. Inspired by early Bitcoin culture, $MIM blends memetic energy with on-chain utility. In this article, we explore what Runes are, why $MIM stands out, and how users can borrow or lend using $MIM on Liquidium․WTF — the leading peer-to-peer lending platform for Ordinals and Runes.
What Are Runes?
Runes are a new token standard built directly on the Bitcoin blockchain. Introduced as a fungible token protocol, Runes allow users to mint, transfer, and use tokens without relying on complex external layers or wrapped assets. Unlike BRC-20, Runes are more efficient and scalable, using fewer bytes and avoiding unnecessary UTXO bloat.
The goal of Runes is to make Bitcoin not just a store of value, but a programmable, dynamic financial platform where tokens can be used natively. Runes power a new wave of meme tokens, experimental finance, and community-led movements — all built on Bitcoin.
What Is $MIM?
$MIM stands for “Magic Internet Money” — a nod to one of the earliest and most iconic Bitcoin memes. The meme, which featured a wizard conjuring up “magic internet money,” captured the imagination of early Bitcoiners and helped define Bitcoin’s meme culture.
The $MIM Rune continues that legacy. It is a fungible token launched using the Runes protocol, embodying a mix of nostalgic meme value and BTC-native innovation. It has quickly become one of the most recognized meme Runes in the ecosystem, attracting collectors, degens, and meme enthusiasts alike.
