yes, memes are *absolutely* a part of our culture and a huge part of base's strategic differentiation. i actually gave a talk on why i think this here (10m): https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1782103178273788251. but the tl;dr is that i think memes are a key onboarding tool, just like they've been in web2. and the meme builders on base bring some of the most powerful culture we have. huge shoutout to @clanker, @apedotstore, @clizaai, and so many other platforms for enabling and the communities for putting in the work.

i *also* have been talking about contentcoins in the past week (https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1912572098075324424). just like a social media post may be just a picture, or it could turn into a viral meme, a contentcoin is just a post without the expectation that it will be worth anything. i think lots of content will turn into memes. and lots of memes will create content! @crypticpoet had a great writeup on how this can work together: https://x.com/1CrypticPoet/status/1914384024170020899.

what if… there was more than one way to build around coins & content? 

Shocking idea but could be interesting? Who knows 

I like when coins go up, and I love the internet 

It’s fun to watch videos and post little jokes and the vibes that lead me to create a bullpost are the same as the energy that makes me bid coins
