🌶️ I don't think memecoin traders are in it for a "profit" any more than lottery ticket buyers are. They're spending money to chase the thrilling idea that their life might change not by a little bit, but by a lot. Looked at this way memecoins are just products. People are fine w spending money to use products?

certainly a spicy take :D I'd say 100% of memecoin traders are in it for the profit.

"Profit" is thought of in econ terms (eg, "Revenue > Expenditure?") My point is, memecoin traders are not trying to simply make 50 bucks (a "profit"). They want the chance to win *50,000* bucks and are willing to lose $500 to do it. I consider this $500 paying for the "product" of a chance to change their life.
