Memecoins are a slap in the face to the serious, technical founders who dismiss brand and storytelling as an unimportant afterthought. That is part of why I love them. The other part is mental illness.

Some of them do have very fun branding and stories but tbh this was mostly a shitpost

The memes are fun but I don’t think there’s much storytelling going on with memecoins. The main pull/story is free airdrop and price going up. I’m not a memecoin expert though, so maybe there are things happening that I’m not aware of.

I think social apps are different, built in community to build the story. farcaster has solid brand/story just from the name and logo choice. I recently told a completely nontechnical friend (British man in his 70s lol) about farcaster and he told me it was the best name for a social network he’s ever heard.

So I wasn’t crazy when I asked DWR last year if he’s concerned his company only has devs?… 😄

Great that the community stepped up and did that, to match the amazing technical work tho

If I offended you, I was probably talking about you. If I’m wrong, update/inform/regale me with why, or don’t.

this might be my favourite take on the topic so far! I've been critical of over smarting it all, but I like this perspective

if a founder dismisses storytelling as unimportant can we really call them serious tho

After a decade, I realize crypto makes sense if you look at it through the lens of Yin-Yang, a principle articulating the balance of opposites. 

Yin, embodying passivity and femininity, contrasts with Yang’s activity and masculinity, yet together they form a harmony essential to our understanding of change.

Totally agree! We $ENJOY good meme coins, because we are a $DEGEN fam, that loves $BAGEL and $DEPE

This is the reason we buy them. The story is what it’s all about

Memecoins are the greatest test of the network's decentralization and uncensorabiliy. But that still doesn't give them any financial value

We all have a little Degen gambler in us.

Honest to god. If this space understood even 1/10th of product marketing, let along brand building it would be off the hook.
