MEME Hotspots
1. Trollface creator says he has no interest in participating in Solana chain meme coins based on his work.
Golden Finance reports, Carlos Ramirez, the creator of the classic internet meme 'Trollface,' stated that he has 'no interest' in participating in the meme coin based on his creation issued on the Solana chain, as the capitalist nature of the crypto industry interferes with artistic expression. However, he also ruled out the possibility of taking legal action against the token, although he seemed to have promoted another Troll token earlier this year and on Tuesday. Carlos Ramirez stated that he 'often' receives token share invitations from projects related to Trollface memes and said, 'If I can't sell, this money means nothing to me; but if I sell, it will crash the market. And frankly, I don’t want to be responsible for someone else's financial ruin.' Over the past two weeks, the price of the meme coin Troll has soared over 1,050%, with its market value rising from $16.12 million to over $184 million. According to CoinGecko data, it has become the 32nd largest meme coin in the world, surpassing MooDeng, Aura, and Melania coins.
