# Pink Wojak Pink Wojak, also known as /biz/ Wojak, is a pink-tinted variation of the Wojak character, usually shown with bleeding eyes or a screaming mouth, that took hold on 4chan's /biz/ board in mid-2017[2]. Anonymous posters used it to caption their own crypto losses, and it grew into shorthand for wrecked investors through the 2017 crypto bull run. ## Origin The earliest documented Pink Wojak post appeared on June 15, 2017, when an anonymous user submitted a /biz/ thread about a crash in the price of ether, paired with a warped Pink Wojak screaming[2]. The base Wojak had already circulated anonymously across 4chan and other imageboards for years, and the pink recolor was one of many derivatives that stuck[1]. Because /biz/ posts are anonymous and largely unarchived by 4chan itself, the artist behind the first Pink Wojak edit is not confirmed, and the format is best treated as a product of the board rather than any single author. - **Platform:** 4chan /biz/ - **Creator:** Unknown - **Date:** 2017 ## Overview The Wojak character predates Pink Wojak by years, circulating as a bald, mournful MS Paint bust across 4chan and Polish imageboards before spawning color-coded variants[3]. Pink Wojak sits on the losing-trader branch of that family: pink-tinted, heavily distorted, with common variants including warped screaming faces, red streaks under the eyes, and packs of clones riding rollercoasters next to Bitcoin price charts[2]. Tone sits between self-pity and gallows humor. On /biz/, threads pair the image with margin calls, missed exits, and altcoin rugs, letting the face do the emotional work while the text lists the damage[2]. The character is a stand-in for the poster rather than a mascot, so the same edits get reused with different captions across countless threads. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### What is Pink Wojak?
