The meme coin sector in crypto, while notoriously volatile and often leading to losses, is showing signs of maturity and refinement. Speakers noted that despite individual meme coins failing, the meta itself persists, with new applications and social accountability features like those on FOMO enhancing the ecosystem.
“Memecoins have been both incredibly durable and are individually incredibly not durable. Like most of them go to zero. But as a meta, we are still doing memecoins over and over and over again.”
“I think we're getting better... better social structure around this and just better apps for this to happen.”
“I think every cycle we go through, things get a little bit more refined, a little bit more mature. And I think we are seeing that with memes as well.”
