Hello everyone,
Memecoins are one of those topics in crypto that never really disappear. Every cycle, they seem to return in a slightly different form, bringing both excitement and criticism with them.
On the surface, memecoins look like pure speculation - minimal utility, heavy reliance on social buzz, and price movements driven more by sentiment than fundamentals. But at the same time, they highlight something important about crypto: attention and community matter. In many cases, a strong narrative and an active community have proven powerful enough to create real liquidity and adoption, at least temporarily.
What’s also interesting is how people interact with memecoins differently compared to other assets. Many participants openly treat them as high-risk bets rather than long-term investments. That honesty might actually be healthier than pretending every project has world-changing utility.
Of course, the risks are clear. Most memecoins don’t last, liquidity can disappear quickly, and late entrants often pay the price. But ignoring them completely hasn’t worked either, especially during periods when retail interest starts to return to the market.
I’m curious how others here view them:
Do memecoins serve any real purpose in crypto, or are they just a side effect of speculation?
Has community and culture become a kind of “fundamental” in this space?
Do you think memecoins will continue to appear in future cycles?
Looking forward to hearing different perspectives.
