BOME and SLEF ended the crazy rise, and the market experienced and witnessed another round of wealthy “gold rush”. Although Meme’s heat waves have not completely retreated, the market has briefly restored some calmness.
In addition to the increase and benefits of the “currency circle for one day, traditional finance for one year”, many “old leek” are discussing a question: “Why is this cycle of MEME coins so early?”Looking at the rotation of the cycle, when the popularity of a new concept and the new narrative reaches the peak, accompanied by the relay of Meme coins, the flowers are scattered, which is the prelude to the final chapter of the bull market.However, in this cycle, the sequence of the sector’s rotation seems to be re -arranged. MEME coins do not play cards according to the routine. In the early and middle periods of this cycle, it becomes the main line.
In the theory of “value investment”, MEME currency and earth dog coins have always been marginalized, even in the currency circle full of foam.But in fact, many people do not understand what Meme is, let alone the difference between MEME currency and soil coins.
From Dogecoin’s dog pattern to today’s inscriptions, Meme has become a unique cultural sign and communication method of the currency circle.So, how are these seemingly funny and even absurd cultural elements be so significant in the encrypted world?This article will explore the relationship between Meme and the blockchain and its impact on cryptocurrency culture.
1.meme is gene
1.1 The origin of the concept
Whenever the birth and origin of Meme, Richard Dawkins is definitely a person who cannot go around.
In 1976, Richard Dawkins first proposed the concept of Meme in its pioneering book “Selfish Gene”.In the last chapter of “Selfish Gene”, Richard Dawkins introduced the concept of “Meme” and defined it as a unit of cultural communication, similar to the genes in biological inheritance.Meme can be the phenomenon of melody, ideas, clothing style, language habits, technology, or any other cultural communication.They spread from one person to another by imitation, so as to copy themselves in human culture.The success and survival of Meme depends on their replication accuracy, durability, and their “attractiveness” or effectiveness to the host.
In a more easy -to -understand, Meme can be a sub -culture formed after extensively spread after extensive dissemination.andMEME coins are a way to value this subculture.
With the rise of the Internet and social media, Meme has become an important part of global cultural exchanges, and its speed and range far exceed the original intention of Richard Dawkins.Today, in the form of humor and irony, Meme not only quickly spread entertainment and information, but also plays an important role in shaping public opinions and cultural phenomena. Especially in the field of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology, the influence of Meme is particularly significant.
It is worth mentioning that in order to commemorate the birthday of Dawkin on March 26, the community specially launched MEME coins called “Dawkoin”. Dawkin shared the news on social media without showing resistance and disgusting.

1.2 Bitcoin is the earliest MEME
“In a sense, all cryptocurrencies have MEME content, but they have different contents. More than 50%of them are normal.” This is the earliest view of the first batch of media blue fox notes in the blockchain industry.If you look at it at 0-100, the MEME content represented by PEPE and DOGE is more than 99.9%; AI has 90%Meme content; BTC L2 has 80%Meme content; Defi has 30-50%Meme content.
So, can Bitcoin be said to be the earliest Meme?
We all know that in January 2009, on a small server in Helsinki, Finland, Satoshi Nakamoto invested the Bitcoin system and excavated the first block.The initial 50 Bitcoin also announced the introduction.Technically, Bitcoin is the key to opening the gate of the blockchain, relying on the technologies such as the gradual mature cryptography, distributed storage, and consensus mechanisms that have gradually matured in the past half a century.
But now when people mention Bitcoin, they will not only discuss their technical algorithms.As the first successful cryptocurrency, the philosophical meaning behind Bitcoin, the founder of the anonymous founder, Nakamoto, and the spirit of fighting against the traditional financial system all gave it the significance of technology beyond technology.
So from this perspective, Bitcoin itself is the earliest Meme, which represents the pursuit of power, freedom and system change.This symbolic significance surpassed its function as a currency and became a symbol of culture and social movements.
Some people say that MEME coins are “attention economy”, and the more attractive Meme, the better is the better MEME.After 15 years of development, after a record high of US $ 71,000, the market value of Bitcoin has jumped to US $ 1.398 trillion, surpassing silver ($ 1.379 trillion), ranking among the eighth largest assets in the world.The total market value of the cryptocurrency represented by Bitcoin reached 49.8%, and Bitcoin occupied a strong dominant position in the crypto industry.
With the passing of Bitcoin ETF and the rise of Bitcoin ecosystems earlier this year, more and more traders and investors are “returning to the truth” and focusing on the attention and liquidity to the Bitcoin ecology.
Bitcoin is the most attractive tokens in the crypto industry. From this perspective, why is Bitcoin a Meme?
1.3 Inscription and NFT: “Deriner” of Meme
Since Meme can be regarded as an expression of genes, then Meme will definitely differentiate. This can also find a certain theoretical basis in the “selfish gene” mentioned in the “selfish gene” mentioned in the previous article: Meme and genesIn terms of communication and evolution mechanisms, both of them pass through the copy process, both experience the pressure, and will mutate under certain conditions.
Looking back at the leader of the currency circle, Dogecoin was originally created as a relaxed concept of Bitcoin.Sign.Its founder did not expect that this joke -based currency would be “favored” by Musk and eventually became the largest MEME coin today.

Twelve years after the encryption industry has experienced a set of usual logic, it has created new concepts and new narrative projectists to embrace and bind the VC institutions.Various bureaus let the secondary pick -up.This wave bull market is also a good project that is in line with the minds of old leek -there are good projects in the minds of old leek — a team, good VC, binance online, and track of the track.
While all this should be continued according to common sense, the MEME track has gone through a series of mutations and derivatives, and was born as an inscription as a “discharge”.The appearance and fieryness of all the “inscriptions” in the Bitcoin ecosystem are completely unexpected.
Since its birth, the “Inscription” has naturally carried the community spirit of “fair launch” and “first is first”, which happened to be the Slogan of Meme.Since the birth of March, prejudice has been closely accompanied by the Bitcoin ecosystem, but it seems that it has never given up to persuade everyone: “If you have prejudice, let the Bitcoin ecosystem rise to you without prejudice.”

The cost of playing an ORDI (1 $ 1,000) is $ 2 to 3 US dollars. Based on the price of $ 60 now, the current price is $ 60,000.One year has passed. If it has not been sold so far, it is calculated at the current price. This is an investment of more than 20,000 times increase.
The inscription is not the first mutation and derivation of Meme. The diversity of Meme can also be reflected in the NFT track.As the largest new narrative in the previous round of cycles, NFT also experienced a round of beef and bear. The NFT leading Bayc once fell below the 13 ETH, let alone more NFT artists who have no capital support today, so they are also looking for themselves for themselvesVarious way out.
From the recent BOME and SLERF, it can also be seen that the cultural value that Meme coins bring to the holder can also nurture the liquidity of NFT to a certain extent.Although the forms presented are different, the cultural attributes spread in NFT and MEME coins essentially are the same.
In addition to this more extensive form of derivatives, we can also see the series of cultural derivatives on some more specific MEMEs, such as Pepe The Frog.

This image was originally just a role in a cartoonist Matt Furie in 2005, but then it evolved into a widely recognized MEME symbol on the Internet.Unlike Meme, which has a clear creator background, behind PEPE The Frog, a community consisting of countless anonymous artists has created a variety of PEPE images. These images are on different cultural context and social media platforms.Play a variety of characters.
The evolution of Pepe The Frog shows a unique phenomenon in Meme culture:How can a single image spawn a huge and diverse cultural ecology.This cultural derivation is not just a simple behavior of copying the original image, but a process that involves creative reconstruction and cultural re -explanation.
2. The currency circle narrative of the flowing water, the iron culture of the iron
In depth of the essence of Meme and its relationship with the blockchain, we found that the two have built a unique cultural and emotional ecosystem in the CCP of the CCP in the encrypted world.Blockchain is not only a technological innovation, it has also become a huge emotional field. MEME is not only an entertaining stalk, but also shaped market narrative in the blockchain industry, attracted community participation, and promoted the rise in cryptocurrencies to rise.Play an important role.
2.1 currency circle is a magnifying glass for emotions and narrative
There are rivers and lakes where there are people, and there are emotions in the place where rivers and lakes.
The currency circle has a crazy foam and the K -line beating up and down. This is not only the gathering place for funds, but also an enlarged emotional high -pressure cooker.
From investors’ passion for future technology to the fear and greed of market fluctuations, as a new technology and financial field, blockchain enlarges the influence of these basic human emotions, which will affect market dynamics and investment decisions.
Meme is born with emotional effects, from enthusiasm to panic, in the form of humor, irony, and even exaggerated, Meme can quickly spread between the communities, trigger emotional resonance, and thus affects the market trend.
In a short period of time, a successful Meme can attract a lot of attention and discussion, and then promote the purchase behavior of investors, leading to a short -term rise in prices.This phenomenon is especially common in the encrypted market. Among them, market emotions can often largely affect price fluctuations.
I remember in the book “A Brief History of Humans” in “A Brief History of Human Human House” that the premium was initially communicated with each other through the “gossip” and method of interpersonal information.Essence
Later, people formed a common imagination through “telling stories” to build more common trust, such as religion, state, currency, company, and so on.Similarly, individuals in encrypted communities can also form powerful group identity and goals through shared Meme and narrative.
This trust based on common imagination is the key factor that Meme can produce prices in the currency circle, and it is also why it can attract a large number of investors and users in currency circle.
2.2 Meme does not require the public chain, the public chain needs meme
From BTC to the Solana chain, and the Ton chain and Base chain later, each hot public chain requires MEME coins to encourage and even create Meme culture.
The most representative of these is Solana Lianchuang Anatoly. On the opening of the Sorana Community Annual Summit last year, on the day of Western Halloween, Anatoly appeared with a green dinosaur dress, becoming the most unique and noticeable existence at the summit.Anatole stood in front of everyone and introduced himself: “I’ M Anatoly, and I ’m a Silly Dragon”, after saying this, Anatoly laughed embarrassed, and the audience at the venue was also laughed.
>
After all the stories, everyone knows that Silly became the hottest MEME coin during that time. The community re -discovered that the coins on Solana were really silky.Essence
After Solana, everyone found that the public chain was used to build brand identity and community cohesion through Meme.A strong community built around a specific MEME can effectively promote projects, attract new users, and enhance the market position of the project.
Now you can also see that the TON chain and the BASE chain are also eager to move. If you want to divide a share in the liquidity of the MEME coin, the TVL is a new high.Growth, and the TON Foundation has also publicly announced the recruitment of Memecoin ecological heads.
2.3 Are we finally removing all kinds of concepts?
A recent paragraph: “Seeing the concepts of ZK+DEPIN+ROLLUP+AI superimposed, the VC of the currency circle can’t hold back the excitement.” Behind this paragraph also makes us think about it: Do we really treat the cryptocurrency sector in the field of cryptocurrenciesHave various concepts in -depth understanding and removing charm?
The continuous hotness of Meme is like a ridicule of the bureaus of these so -called core circles.This irony not only questioned the technology itself, but also deeply criticized the entire cryptocurrency market’s blind enthusiasm for new technologies and ignoring its substantial application.
“I don’t understand anyway, it is better to fry the Meme” old leek “old leek seemed to be powerless, and the new leek is even more unknown.In the currency circle of rotation of water, the MEME culture continues.Binance on BOME has made many encrypted projects “break the defense”. After a few years of hard work, it has not been able to go to the place, but BOME has done it in three days.
Back to the recent question made by the community: “Is the end point of the blockchain?” Or “value investment is dead, meme eternal life?”Although these problems are absolutely absolute, even a little extreme.However, I have to admit that the biggest role of the blockchain within ten years is still speculating coins, perhaps the truth.
