The article went into detail about the different terms the chinese (the biggest demographic on BNB chain) use for crypto and shitcoins,

One of these that stood out ofcourse was, Air coin, or “空气币”.

Below is a brief snippet from said article, highlighting the narrative of BSC’s very own “Useless” Coin:
