I'm not involved in building but I'm in the early stages of memecoin, I'm just a buyer and just joking around with some memecoins, like doge and shiba inu, at first it was just for fun, but there was a lot of enthusiasm from the community that made all this very big, how elo entered with tesla and also how Vitalik burned Shiba inu which made it very hype.
Various memecoin projects have their own categories such as NFTs, Metavers and the latest AI and many others, it's just that what makes them successful is depending on how the developer and a solid community, on the other hand even so memecoin depends on the hype built by the community for now, it will not be valuable if the hype is over.
Appreciate your input, that actually aligns with a lot of what I’ve been thinking. It's wild how much of this space is driven by pure narrative and community momentum. The Doge and SHIB examples are great! They both started off as jokes but hit escape velocity because the community turned them into something bigger.
I totally agree that hype alone won’t last unless there’s something to root into, some kind of evolving purpose or structure that keeps people interested
after the meme moment fades. That’s the tricky balance I’m trying to figure out how to keep the fun and spontaneity alive while still anchoring it with mechanics that reward long-term holders.
Good luck with the projects you're following too. Let’s see what the next wave of memes brings. If you want to get involved further, feel free to DM me here. There’s always something to do with fellow enthusiasts!
