🟢 Memetics, how to choose good memes to ape in 100x memecoins - Degen Basics 101 🟢👇
Right now, Solana is the main character, and the memes are writing the narrative. From Uptober vibes to political commentary, the ecosystem is memeing its way to the top.
Why? Narrative liquidity—memes create hype, hype drives FOMO, and FOMO pumps the bags.
That's why any real degen must understand the holy basis of memetics.
The term “meme” was first coined by the OG Richard Dawkins back in 1976. Dawkins dropped the alpha that all cultural info is made up of base units called memes, kinda like how biological info runs on genes.
In Y2K memes leveled up big time with the rise of Internet culture. They started as a low-key underground movement, with 4chan acting as the degen launchpad.
LOLcats, Rickrolling, and Pepe the Frog hit the scene first on 4chan. From 4chan, the memes went viral, spreading like wildfire to Reddit, Tumblr, 9gag, X , and every other corner of the internet. (oh sounds familiar to this super cycle right?)
Even Matt Furie, the dude behind Pepe, saw his character blow up thanks to the 4chan internet culture.
Crypto is the byproduct of internet culture, it runs on memes.
Meme potential musthaves:
››› relatable af – everyone gets it. It's universal, like a dog with hat or a woman that screams on a cat
››› funny/absurd – dank humor is king. weird is winning
››› easy to remix – like Pepe - a blank canvas for the internet’s anons
››› timely – riding the current wave (SOL’s pump, AI-agent meta, deSci)
When these factors align, you get something unstoppable.
Memetics is all about how a concept (aka a meme) spreads, evolves, and dominates the meta.
The best memes MUST BE simple, relatable, have a story/legend to it to be primed for massive adoption.
For the memecoin to really hit those 1000x, you and others must organically *like* the meme.
