Remove the meme concept and you are left with the standard crypto project. I don't see any reason why it would succeed based on that alone because there are countless such projects all around us. You can't artificially create memes. You can't build memes that are about utility. Why build something new at all? If you want to build a platform then pick an existing memecoin instead and help it grow.
What made it work is that it is natural and legitimate. DOGE and PEPE were a thing outside of crypto. They are natural memes that had a fanbase before crypto. Most projects are trying to enrich themselves by artificially pushing new memes that nobody outside of a few greedy communities wants.
That’s a fair point, and I totally agree that cloning an existing meme and slapping it on a coin doesn’t work, that was never my intention. The idea isn’t to hijack something like DOGE or PEPE, but to create something fun and new that plays within meme culture.
Personally, I’d much rather be part of a lighthearted, creative community than one of those overly serious, overly complex crypto projects where you need a PhD to understand the whitepaper. I think there’s room for something that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still has structure and long-term value behind it.
I however appreciate you bringing this up! It’s helping me clarify the path forward.
