Meme coins have hit a cultural inflection point. The real question isn't whether memes belong in crypto—they already do. It's whether they can evolve beyond serving whales and funding pump-and-dump cycles.

A core insight from MemeMax_Fi's founder rings true: memes represent genuine culture and community. If that's the foundation, then the economics need to match. Sustainable tokenomics, fair distribution mechanisms, and real utility—these aren't optional add-ons. They're prerequisites.

The disconnect is stark. Most meme projects treat sustainability as afterthought, if at all. But culture without economic foundation crumbles. The coins that will outlast the hype cycle are the ones building actual models that reward community participation over pure speculation.

You're right, but no matter how much you hear, it's still those old tricks of front-running to harvest the gains. Can you really count the truly practical meme coins? Most of them are just rebranded pump-and-dump schemes. With such a terrible economic model, what culture are we even talking about? It's just pure deception to fool fools.

That's right, but I've seen so many meme coins, and not a single one has actually achieved this. Wait a minute, big players just run after they profit, what culture and community are we talking about? Economic model? Laughable, 99% of projects haven't even thought about that. Before the culture collapses, the money is already gone.

That's right. Most emoji projects nowadays are just using cultural slogans to scam money, with terrible economic models. The ones that truly stick around are those that genuinely value the community... Big players just take the profits and run, and the culture dies. I've seen a lot of impermanence, and emojis are the same.

Basically, most meme coins are just air, with no real economic model... Hoping to rely on culture to sustain? Without fundamentals, you'll die sooner or later... I agree, community-driven projects are indeed much more reliable than mere hype... It's the same old trick; no matter how well it's packaged, a Ponzi scheme can't be saved... This time, finally getting to the point—sustainability is the key... The point is right, but the question is, who is actually doing this...
