HIGHER

wondering ways in which the higher ethos and vision could be more accessible to the median memecoin connoisseur

Well, the lack of FC adoption is a major constraint. Need a very strong TG channel to expand holder count. What we lack in immediacy of emotions (cute/funny/gross) etc, we make up for with aesthetics. 

I think in some ways we could do a better job of leaning a bit more into the crypto meme culture, rather than distancing ourselves from it.

I still am surprised to meet active Base onchain users who have never heard of Higher.

Perhaps engaging more with other communities is a good place to start. We're watching tickers like Fartcoin, Unicorn Fart Dust, and different cats and dogs are reaching billions. Higher is a brand and idea that can resonate with all people, though it teams it feels like we hold ourselves to too much of a "higher" standard that distances us from the base level silliness that creates value in the rest of the meme culture

also, it would be good if the de-facto early leaders etc of the project like @zinger etc, share more higher-aligned content. it sets an example for others to follow, going higher in their day to day lives

these seem like insights that could lead to opportunity 

were those base builders intrigued based on what you could tell them? 

and what aspects of the meme culture do you think we’d benefit from?

100% agree on the second point 

lead with simple meme, then let people uncover the cool higher stuff hidden under the surface

otherwise is comes off as midcurvey to someone who takes 3 seconds to look at it and compares it against every other meme
