What Is $MIM? A Guide to Magic Internet Money

$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.

Using the MAGIC•INTERNET•MONEY Rune on Liquidium.WTF

The Bitcoin app lists MAGIC•INTERNET•MONEY in its Runes markets. Check the full Rune name, available offers, and your collateral; the MIM ticker alone can refer to different assets.

Open the Bitcoin app, choose Borrow, and select Runes. Check that your asset is listed and that an offer is available; a listed market does not guarantee liquidity.

Review the offer amount, interest, fees, collateral, and repayment deadline before following the wallet prompts. Use the available loan mode shown in the app. Instant loans do not guarantee a particular Bitcoin confirmation time.
