In the cryptocurrency world, memecoins are often viewed as infamous, meaningless, and devoid of value. But BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is urging the industry to reconsider such hasty judgments.

In an exclusive interview with Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal, Hayes highlighted the potential benefits of memcoins to blockchain networks. 
While some may view them as “stupid and worthless,” he argued that memecoins actually play a crucial role in drawing attention and talent to the crypto space. 
“You can call this kind of thing stupid and worthless, but if it brings attention and more engineers to the field, that's a positive asset for the chain itself,” Hayes said. 
He also emphasized that networks that can embrace this cultural phenomenon will gain significant value, citing Solana and Ethereum as prime examples.

Indeed, the impact of memcoins on blockchain ecosystems has been significant. Last year, Solana experienced a surge in network activity following the memecoin craze in November, leading to the launch of numerous projects on the network. 
Similarly, Bitcoin witnessed increased development activity after the wave of BRC-20 tokens flooded the network. 
Raoul Pal echoed Hayes' sentiments, predicting that memecoins will continue to appeal to younger crypto investors and tap into the “gaming mentality” prevalent among Gen Z and Millennials. He likened Memecoin trading to a kind of financial game. 
Despite its increasing popularity, there are those who denigrate memecoins. Franklin Templeton, a US investment firm, warned in an investor note that memecoins pose significant risks due to their lack of intrinsic value or utility. 
*This is not investment advice.
