I still think memecoins are the most organic way to build onchain communities

things that are done intentionally have centralized power structures that degrade easily 

memecoins usually speedrun decentralization with no one in charge, community has to quickly pull together on their own or it dies

most fail, but the ones that survive are uniquely strong

see Dogecoin being the only major coin to ever make a higher high vs Bitcoin

they’re fun but what if we just grew communities intentionally 

and the economic tools needed emerged organically

I'd actually say it's harder to filter out the mercenaries/profiteers in centralized communities 

see every DAO treasury in the industry constantly being raided by grifters

memecoins speedrun filtering these people out because you can only benefit if the coin benefits

i think it’s a double edged sword here. yes, can really jump start creating a community but it’s also harder to filter out the mercenaries / profiteers and retain people when vibes / price decline

the default state of a community built on anything is that they do not last

99% of all human communities fail quickly

Not agree ken 😓
A community that build based on meme mostly not build to last

there are more organic memecoin communities (at scale) than communities for crypto products
