I am a timid cook, and on the first day trapped in the snowstorm lodge, I put laxatives in everyone's meals. The next day, I put laxatives in everyone's water. On the third day, I added laxatives to everyone's anti-diarrheal medication. On the fourth day, the murderer who was prepared to kill took out the hidden satellite phone and called the police. Short story "The Poisonous Bean Villa"
The "rebellion" paradox of Meme coins: when the meme mocking Wall Street became the new Wall Street.
Meme coins were originally aimed at flipping off traditional finance, with Dogecoin laughing at Buffett and Pepe the Frog mocking Wall Street. But the most magical part is that these "rebellious symbols" are being co-opted by the financial system into new loyalty points. Just like punk bands eventually wrote songs for commercial advertisements, the ultimate fate of meme coins may be to become what they once mocked.
Think about it @MemeMax_Fi, staying up late to trade and changing your nickname to add the suffix "MemeMax Knight" is essentially no different from collecting points with a supermarket loyalty card, exchanging behavioral data for future airdrop promises. When the project team designs "unlock rewards require paying 50% transaction fees," they have essentially turned "rebellion" into a subscription service, and while you think you're just having fun, you've actually become a "paying NPC" within the system.
What’s even more absurd is the quantitative magic of community consensus. Initially, VC tokens were criticized for being a tool for profit-taking, but now Meme coins use "fair launch" as their new slogan. As a result, when the proportion of whale holders is revealed, it vividly plays out the scene from "Animal Farm": "All tokens are equal, but some tokens are more equal than others." This is not a financial revolution; it merely replaces the old script with a new metaverse skin.
So the next time you see "decentralized playground," you might as well touch your nose. When the ultimate KPI of Meme coins is to appear on the homepage of Huobi, its rebellious spirit is probably similar to that of the villains in Marvel movies: it may be lively, but in the end, it has to serve the mainstream box office.
