Editing Orangie

**Orangie** is the online name of Gabriele Leyva, a crypto content creator who moved from esports and NFT gaming content into [[Solana]] memecoin commentary.[^1]

## Background
Leyva is a former professional esports player who became an NFT collector and made web3 gaming content.[^1] Decrypt listed him as a Rug Radio creator and a member of Yuga Labs' Gaming Council, and his disclosure stated he held ETH and a Bored Ape NFT.[^1] In February 2024 he covered the Otherside "Apes Come Home" event for Decrypt using his own Bored Ape.[^2]

## Style
By 2024 his X posts covered Solana memecoins; in August 2024 Decrypt cited his question of whether a Drake sneaker ad referenced a Solana memecoin.[^3] In December 2024 he asked his followers whether the [[pump.fun]] "[[Trenches|trenches]]" were a passing cycle or permanent.[^4]
