Most crypto degens know their “coins” are nothing more than lottery tickets. There is no innovation. It’s a form of gambling. That’s why fartcoin is popular. It doesn’t pretend to be anything other than a nihilistic reaction to late state fiat economics.
Ripple (XRP) is far more sinister, as it pretends to be something more, thus muddying the waters for those trying to figure out what’s really going on.
