Now that meme coins on Solana have reached a number too high to count, many of which currently sit at a market cap of zero, it begs the question, will Solana kill blockchain? Back when we were all young starry-eyed financial freedom enthusiasts we believed in things like identity ownership and limiting supply with unalterable protocols. Those days are long gone. With thirty coins for Taylor Swift’s cat and a dozen new Hawk Tuha coins every few days does blockchain even deserve to be taken seriously?
At the risk of giving “get off my lawn” energy, I miss the days when projects meant something. Trying to find the good ones is like digging through the bargain basket at a Walmart. I love good deals as much as the next person but I don’t exactly want to be seen consorting with the types who actually dig through bargain baskets.
Sometimes it feels like meme coins on Solona are a bunch of Jordan Belfort wannabes trying to sell me the 100th pen I don’t need. I wouldn’t be complaining so much if this was all part of a crazy quaalude-fueled bender that ended with me married to Margot Robbie (as long as I don’t have to listen to Jonah Hill name drop his list of A-list celebrity friends).
We need to look in the mirror and face reality. We are the problem. All of us. It’s not just Solana. It’s the “Wen Lambo” mentality. Unless this changes all of Blockchain will suffocate under the weight of absurdity. Excuse me as I go buy .25 ETH $Popcat, me new Meme Coin obsession.
