The Still Straw: Why Apple May One Day Buy iEthereum Instead of Issuing Its Own Token
“The milkshake doesn’t need to be stirred.
The straw doesn’t need to move.
The liquidity will come — when the time is right.”
There’s a quiet corner of the crypto universe that hasn’t moved in years — a single immutable smart contract on Ethereum, a relic from a different time. It doesn’t issue rewards, it doesn’t have a DAO, and it doesn’t sell itself.
It’s called iEthereum. And 99% of it was distributed via airdrop long ago, vanishing into thousands of wallets with no team left to promote or manage it.
It sounds dead. But maybe it isn’t.
What if — and I ask this not as a trader, but as a strategist — what if this token isn’t a relic, but a fuse? What if Apple, the most powerful company on Earth, doesn’t intend to launch a token, but rather to quietly accumulate an existing one that perfectly fits their pattern: private, controlled, and brilliantly patient?
This is not financial advice. It’s game theory. And it’s a mental model that may help explain a slow-moving economic phenomenon bigger than any bull run: The Digital Dollar Milkshake — and the Still Straw Waiting to Drink It.
