Base Founder Discusses Memecoin: Why the Community Needs More Creative Hubs

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto World】The co-founder of Base recently shared his thoughts on the Memecoin phenomenon on X, and his perspective is quite interesting. He believes that Memecoin is essentially a community coordination tool—it can bring like-minded people together and provide a stage for everyone to create collaboratively.

More importantly, this kind of token offers participants a natural reason to invite friends to join. Once you have something to share, your friends will be interested just by hearing you out. The power of social dissemination should not be underestimated.

From a broader perspective, he thinks that current society actually lacks genuine creativity, authentic community connections, and collective action. And Memecoin happens to offer such possibilities—lowering the barriers to participation, allowing ordinary people to become part of a community movement. This might be the reason why Memecoin continues to attract people. To some extent, they satisfy people’s desire for community belonging and co-creation.

That's right, memecoin is now the most powerful social tool. Didn't expect to be able to package your coin like this, haha. Ordinary people finally have a chance to participate, and I agree with that.

Hmm... That's right, that's the flavor. The value of community consensus is sometimes more important than the coin price itself. Speaking of which, low barriers indeed attract many people, but they also easily attract those who harvest quick profits. Memecoin is like a modern tribal totem, in a certain sense. This logic can hold, but the premise is that not everyone turns it into a pure quick-profit game. It's actually about allowing ordinary people to participate in co-creation, which is quite genuine. It sounds idealistic... In reality, most people are probably just in it to make quick money. But from the perspective of a coordination tool, it's indeed fresh and not so cliché.

Hmm... It sounds ideal, but the tactics of pumping and cutting leeks are indeed common. Memecoin is just a social game; those who profit are always the early adopters. That said, some projects have indeed come up with new ideas.

Exactly, meme coins are the adhesive of modern communities. I'm a bit touched by this analysis... it’s definitely much deeper than just hype. Wait, then why are so many of them going to zero? Low barriers also mean exit scams are everywhere. Unstoppable, finally someone has explained the essence of meme coins clearly. That’s what they say, but 99% of projects are still just rug pulls. Don’t be brainwashed, everyone. Community coordination tools? I just want to know what kind of meme coin can survive the next bear market. This view is a bit too idealistic. I’ve seen too many stories of fans getting trapped. Base’s recent promotion was quite impressive; I have to admit.

This sounds quite idealistic, but in reality, most meme coins are just schemes to cut leeks... By the way, the "creativity" he mentioned really hit the mark; we do crave that kind of collective thing. But I'm more concerned about how to avoid getting caught in this wave, haha. The theory of such coordination tools sounds beautiful, but it really depends on who is leading this "stage." Can early entrants have the same experience as those who come later... Memecoin has indeed changed something, but it seems more like it has just changed who can make money. The power of social dissemination is real, but the behind-the-scenes puppeteers are also crucial. Honestly, it still depends on the project team's operations; no matter how good the concept is, it can't withstand team actions...

In plain terms, it's about packaging social viral growth into a consensus mechanism. It sounds grandiose, but the data speaks for itself—can the retention rate of Memecoin truly prove this logic?

Hoarded some memes from the Base ecosystem. On-chain data shows this wave indeed has coordinated value. Keep your private keys secure.

That's quite right, meme coins have indeed built new social connections. Listen, that's why I've always believed that community-driven projects are the future. Meme coins are like viral marketing but can actually make money, no wonder they're so popular. But the key is whether the creativity can keep up, or else it's just a breeding ground for rugs.
