CZ casually said something last night that rang truer than many KOLs’ long posts: "Back then, memes were just funny pictures or videos, with no coin attached. Now there are so many memes that you can’t even find the joke anymore." It got 110,000 views and more than 400 replies.
Then I checked the replies and burst out laughing. Some people dropped tickers, some pasted entire 0x contract addresses, and one account with two followers shouted, "Found the joke," followed by a coin name. CZ had just complained that coins were drowning out the jokes, and the replies immediately put on a live demonstration of how.
Put simply, a lot of memes these days aren’t made to make people laugh—they’re made to find someone to dump on. Launch the coin first, fill in the story later, and if the story doesn’t hold up, just switch to another image. Funds are SAFU has been around for all these years, and nobody launched a coin for it back then. That’s why it survived.
And let’s not pretend we don’t see the other part: in the whole pipeline of putting an image on-chain, launching the market, and collecting fees, the ones making reliable money are the platforms, launchpads, and those first few addresses. Retail buyers are buying the "joke" and paying the slippage and gas.
One reply was even more worth sharing than the original post: "Memes used to be jokes; now they’re contract addresses. A good image can stay popular for three years, but a meme coin can hardly stay popular for three days."
