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

they’re fun but what if we just grew communities intentionally and the economic tools needed emerged organically

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

hear you, but there are a handful of examples like doge. i think we also have to be honest now about how decentralised memes or anything in the space is anyway (and if anyone still cares) i do care and i root for a future of sufficiently decentralised community led projects where people organically come together to grow value and build economic systems if needed vs. the speculative incentive being the raison d’être

but doge is at least a real example, right? what other crypto project has created a truly decentralized community (no official leadership structure) that continues to make a legitimate impact on human culture (whether you agree with the politics of it or not, DOGE meme has now become a US Government branch)

real example, but not something i guess that is easily replicable? i feel like now we're finally at the point where any project (esp non-crypto communities) can actually grow somewhat non-speculative and then add in crypto rails later if needed just feels like the intention and pipeline of launch coin > maybe grow community has always been off and created a 'repulsive culture' that non-crypto people feel real adoption probably happens when it's community > maybe coins
