one thing bad about ethereum, base, superchain etc meme coins is that they’re paired with ETH 💩

How would the market change if tokens were paired with USDC, for example? 22 $DEGEN

I would not change that. Not for USDC not for Solana. 
I am happy to trade with all the ETH feats and based on ETH.  I think in the long is better for DEGEN. More flexibility, more money coming in, easy to integrate with Farcaster ecosystem...
