The more crypto memes I see the less involved I want to be in crypto. I feel like it’s a huge distraction and leech off newcomers. I understand that they bring a lot of attention but I’m just having a hard time understanding its purpose. What’s your perspective?

If the marketing was “this is a joke and you’ll probably lose your money” then that’s fine. To each their own as long as they know what they are in for.

It is fairly discouraging if it's the only thing that exists.

Farcaster was a big pull back into cryptonative things because it has a better mix of novel uses of blockchain & memes. CT was mostly just memes & very terrible narratives.

Memes are marketing only…but if they're the only thing…it sucks.

There's definitely some good and fun to it, for sure. If people want to pool money together and try to get something on the Las Vegas sphere, then this is a great way to do it. I'm all for it. It's just that when friends start asking me how to buy WIF, thinking it can make them money, it shows that the messaging is off

IMO this is a good thing.  I think people have gotten the idea wrong in that we want to change the culture of crypto.  Instead, why not harness motivations that aren't going to go away for the common good?

Meeting people where they are and designing for win win solutions is imo very achievable.

Give us wholesome crypto or give us death

I totally agree, I just feel like it’s a bit saturated. I’m not on one extreme end or the other.

I've heard some say in this space (including FC founders) that memes are a key political voice. Others say memes can form network states. I'm just the messenger. But it's very interesting, all these takes on memes.

I think people use memes as a form of self expression and a way to feel apart of something bigger. However, 100% in agreeance that a hyper focus on it attracts leeches that only bring down the legitimacy and development of our space.
