Hand of Midas is a long-standing item in Dota 2, inspired by the Greek myth of King Midas who turned everything he touched to gold. In game it is bought for farming rather than fighting, letting heroes convert creeps for extra gold and experience to accelerate their item builds. Because that function is so distinctive, the activation sound became recognizable in streams, highlight reels and guides. Online it spread beyond Dota as a meme shorthand for turning anything into profit instantly.

The Hand of Midas sound effect from Dota 2 plays when the item converts a creep into gold, now used in memes for instant money and greedy plays.
This is the short metallic chime and coin-like shimmer that plays in Dota 2 when Hand of Midas is activated. The item instantly kills a non-hero enemy unit and turns it into bonus gold and experience, and the sound marks that transaction clearly over the noise of a fight. It feels bright, greedy and rewarding, with a quick magical sparkle followed by a satisfying gold payoff. Players instantly associate it with farming efficiency and snowballing, which is why the clip works so well outside the game as a shorthand for cashing in.
