wild signal emanating from higher gang right now. what other project in the crypto space has this specific combination of aura + token + network? its post-DAO, and so lacks the liabilities of quorums to hit or a team to overdetermine what the token does, but also has CC0, open source vibes & large holders who show up so stuff actually gets shipped its just a brand - pure aesthetics and vibes - and somehow also a memecoin, but without the toxic dynamic where the only people who care also want to get rid of what they care about ASAP. i dont look at this pic and think about anything remotely related to a memecoin, which is why most memecoins will always, forever be insignificant. because thats all they are its easy to grok and easy to bid, but isn't superficial. you can wax poetic on higher, or just bull post and meme. its whatever you want it to be, many things to many people

higher is the shift away from shilling a meme coin to propagating the meme

we talk a lot about making crypto less speculative, but struggle to offer concrete examples of products that can do that without losing any user interest higher does it - not by carving out the speculative part, but by building up lore & aura around it to the point that user associations with higher are much more than number go up ironic too given the name lol
