How the fuck are meme tokens a fad in 2025? How are these things any different from the ICOs, the altcoins, the ERC20s? Instead of launching a PoW chain people are literally just minting the dumbest shit they can imagine and people love it.
There are legions of dead altcoins that actually tried (at least in theory) to do something. Meanwhile people are buying DICKBUTTFART unironically.
I can recommend MEGASHITCOIN2000!!
I forget who said this first, but I definitely agree with the sentiment that at least nowadays Shitcoins are not hiding behind the facade of trying to do something useful. If you're buying shit like Trump coin or hawktua, or pepemoonblaster......You know what you're doing, It's just gambling.
The ICO and Masternode phases had coins that were trying to have utility. So it would be easier for the gullible to get sucked into. "This coin has a future because it's solving XYZ problem, bro. Its not a scam trust me." Was a common naritive.
You underestimate how dim the average crypto speculator is.
Just gotta understand the grift game:

I think it’s just a manifestation of altcoins desperation. Maybe, with a little hope, it can be last (major) shitcoin cycle.
#Altcoins are not trying to be better or next Bitcoin.
There are not trying to be a better #Ethereum or better #Solana…
There are openly admitting it can’t get better than a #shitcoin casino - “come bet on green.”
What should be next? It might die. So many people will get burned this cycle for nothing that they will be forever vigilant and they will buy #Bitcoin, or they will die poor.
The facade of legitimacy is gone. This is a good thing. There's a marketplace for value, and a marketplace for gambling. Life is good, except for the gamblers.
they seem to have a shorter lifecycle then the previous iteration
