I think memecoins will play out like the Internet Bubble: 1. The many projects that do nothing — yet with spectacular speed and hype — will indeed make short term money. 2. The very few projects that do actually something interesting will change the world in a big way. https://x.com/internetphysics/status/1884828445194018830?s=46&t=jfFbiO6yqIgiuy-BqPaNpg

People say this every cycle. Just replace memes with NFTs, ICOs, etc. It’s true but the stars still must align for the 0.01% of projects that fit the criteria. Getting through aggressive bear markets is not easy, even for the best projects.

Agree. Aiming to cash out and aiming to create something enduring are both possible outcomes here, w very different probabilities Wild that Ethereum was an ICO. (tbd if any NFT projects become actually important) My point is: it’s best to know which one you’re trying be / which one you’re trying to bet on

Absolutely. I would say Pudgy has done a decent job of breaking out as an NFT project and enduring. There were many well-intentioned ICOs and NFTs that just couldn’t sustain multiple bears. It’s brutal and not for the weak hearted. But can be immensely rewarding if you can make it thru.

@nickysap I've also seen people hoping for this for so long, and crypto repeatedly rewards the short term grift over the longer term value proposition but a different path is open to us, I refuse to accept that crypto will always be irrelevant to most people. thats us losing, every big coin going down a lot. current structure of crypto markets + regulatory environment feels like a unique set up to see what @tldr is describing play out. we need to build better launchpad and token mechanisms, and to connect them with our social graph & networks
