Meme coins make zero sense—and that's exactly why they work. The entire premise is built on absurdity. You're not investing in a protocol, a utility, or some grand vision. You're buying into the joke itself, and somehow that honesty resonates more than traditional narratives. The dumber it feels, the more authentic it becomes. Investors know what they're getting into, and there's something oddly liberating about that. While other projects wrap themselves in whitepapers and promises, meme coins just lean into the chaos. Maybe that's the real appeal—in a market drowning in marketing speak and technical jargon, pure irony feels like a breath of fresh air.

ngl, this article says something meaningful. Meme coins are just outrightly not pretending to be fancy, which actually makes them seem more genuine.

I'll just say it, this paragraph really hit home for me. Those projects that write lengthy whitepapers are ultimately just finding new ways to harvest profits. On the other hand, meme coins—admittedly garbage—actually make people feel comfortable. The market sentiment is right there, no pretense. This is the true on-chain consensus.

ngl, this is the most honest part of Web3; other projects keep making up stories, and it's better to just admit it's gambling.

If you don't play this game, no matter how fancy the white paper is, it's all just air. It's better to just buy meme coins for fun.

Uh, I think I understand this logic... The more unserious it is, the more genuine it becomes, right?

Laughing out loud, I just love this kind of straightforward craziness.

ngl, absurdity itself is the most honest marketing, much more satisfying than those whitepapers bragging.
