Crypto detective ZachXBT sharply criticized Jesse Pollak, the founder of Base from Coinbase, for supporting the so-called 'viral' tokens of the Zora platform. The conflict erupted after Pollak praised the success of Zora tokens, which reached a record number of active users on April 20, 2025 [web:0]. In his tweet, ZachXBT noted: 'All these “viral” coins — and none even have a market cap over $5 million,' accusing the project of speculative hype [web:0].
Pollak responded that the focus on large market capitalizations distorts the understanding of the value of digital content, as most content is worth little, and value is defined by cultural impact [web:0]. However, skeptics, including users on X, believe that 'viral' tokens are simply meme coins in a new wrapper, which have no real value [web:1]. For example, the token 'Base is for everyone,' launched as an experiment, soared to $21 million but quickly fell by 50% [web:0].
The discussion highlighted the differences in views on the future of crypto culture: some see innovation in such tokens, while others see speculation. Want to learn more about crypto conflicts? Subscribe to #MiningUpdates
