Pepe Coin and the Rise of Meme Coins
We explore the origin, development, and potential of meme coins like PEPE, cryptocurrencies that were born as a joke in the crypto community.
The crypto world has undergone a revolution in recent decades, resulting in a variety of types of coins and tokens that even exceed the expectations of the most advanced speculators. The latest trend that has taken root in the crypto-economy is that of meme coins. If you are a regular in the digital world, it is more than likely that you have heard of them.
Catapulted from Humor to Economy
At the intersection of digital economy and Internet culture, we find the novel category of so-called meme coins. These digital currencies inherit their name and existence from the cultural figure of memes, those fragments of humor in the form of images, videos, or other formats that spread and propagate from user to user on the Internet. Like memes, meme coins are a fusion of culture and communication, but they add a component of tangible value, as they approach the model of cryptocurrencies.
Initially, meme coins are born as a sort of parody or joke in the broad and diverse ecosystem of cryptocurrencies. Their purpose is not so much to establish themselves as a financial instrument with a tangible purpose, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, but rather to add an element of fun and comedy to the crypto community. Their popularity and adoption can be as sudden, viral, and volatile as the meme that brought them to life. Meme coins typically emerge without pretensions but have ended up shaking up the cryptographic landscape.
Born from the Community
The birth of a meme coin occurs when a meme reaches such relevance that it manages to revolutionize the collective imagery of Internet users. This can happen through various platforms, such as forums, social networks, or content platforms.
