yes, memes are *absolutely* a part of our culture and a huge part of base's strategic differentiation. i actually gave a talk on why i think this here (10m): https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1782103178273788251. but the tl;dr is that i think memes are a key onboarding tool, just like they've been in web2. and the meme builders on base bring some of the most powerful culture we have. huge shoutout to @clanker, @apedotstore, @clizaai, and so many other platforms for enabling and the communities for putting in the work.
i *also* have been talking about contentcoins in the past week (https://x.com/jessepollak/status/1912572098075324424). just like a social media post may be just a picture, or it could turn into a viral meme, a contentcoin is just a post without the expectation that it will be worth anything. i think lots of content will turn into memes. and lots of memes will create content! @poet.base.eth had a great writeup on how this can work together: https://x.com/1CrypticPoet/status/1914384024170020899.
