Biggest Meme Coin News This Week

HBO Reveals Identity of Satoshi Nakamoto

The HBO documentary Money Electric has finally revealed its pick for Satoshi, and It is fair to say that everyone was wrong in their predictions. The memes started flowing again until Peter Todd posted on X that he is not Satoshi and made fun of the degens spamming his posts.

It was fun while it lasted. Meme coins never cease to entertain.

Meme Coins vs VC-Backed Tokens

VanEck portfolio manager Pranav Kanade highlighted that meme coins have four traits that all teams in crypto should mimic. These are:
  1. Simple Token Design
  2. Clear Vision and Purpose
  3. Transparency in Benefits to Token Holders
  4. Adopting a “High Float” Model

He also added that meme coins have a clear product-market fit with retail due to their simplicity. “Many teams over-engineer their token, failing to realize: Time + Capital + attention = scarce”

Meme Coin Supercycle?

According to Murad Mahmudov at Token2049, the meme coin supercycle is upon us, and it feels like the whole of Crypto Twitter is buying into this hype.
  • According to the messianic-looking meme coin trader, he believes the crypto industry is more about speculation.

He does have a point there. How many of us care about the tech in our phones?

  • Murad also believes that meme coins will transition from jokes to serious memes.
  • Talk about being serious: ZachBTC has since doxxed $24m worth of Murad accounts.

BTW, Su Zhu says ‘what’s up.’
