crypto is boring right now.

not because of prices or whatever.

current meta doesn't have a way to express something about yourself or relate to others.

that's why pfps were so fun. i miss nft summer.

genuinely meme coins fix this

the issue is most meme coins we’ve seen are largely comedic, not aspirational

we need more tokens like higher, enjoy, crash that embody a community, a vibe, a feeling

Optimists ↑

images and symbols affiliated with those communities (/optimists, “↑”, 🎩, etc)

similar to how you express membership in IRL brands

Makes sense tbh - how do you envision it not being ephemeral?

i’m doing my best to understand this as well, seems niche. which is also fine. it’s a old concept played out on an emerging platform. birds of a feather, cult of personalities, etc.
