In the time past, we have seen how DOGE has led all memecoins to be the first to compete with other real usecase tokens before we have the likes for SHIBA Inu and other dog memes and as though that was not enough, the attention was shifted to Sol memes and we saw how Bome took the attention of the internet and by extension, it became DOGS, and just when I thought that the hype will die down since its a meme coin, I saw again CATE, a meme feline which is the best friend to the famous $DOGE and now extends a paw of friendship to $NEIRO is coming up and the next question I asked myself was, are memecoins trying to take over from the real world useful coins?
DOGE didn't have any intentional use case, it was created as a joke, nothing more, nothing less and lately it became side crypto to use when top cryptos like Bitcoin, and Ether would get congested.
Regarding useful coins in crypto market, there are handful of coins in whole crypto space that are actually useful, other than that this market heavily thrives on speculation.
Memecoins are a thing and they are continuing to have momentum due to the people's greed to become rich short time.
There are plenty of projects that don't really do what they say they are going to both in the meme and usual crypto landscape, some offer a utility that isn't there, and others are so outshined by the other projects that are shilled like crazy it's not even funny.
I think memes are going to stay due to their nature, which correlates to our human nature. There is never going to be a time when a person, especially a new one in the space, wouldn't be tempted to try this path and trade some memes, getting lucky or rekt.
