5 Types of Memecoins That Can Do Better It’s a shame that celebrities keep launching pointless memecoins for speculative value. In his March 29, 2024 article, @VitalikButerin called to consider what else they could be. He has long said that “issuing coins could be a new way to fund important public projects”. vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… In this post, I’m going to restate his ideas and state more types. Token promoters wanting to be impactful can consider them. Buyers should form a consensus to only buy thoughtful projects, as led by major allocators committing to certain guidelines or token ratings.

After Pump Fun having launched on January 19, 2024, more should be expected from the leading launchpad to make memecoins more meaningful (and not just more "fun" or better curated, as it plans). Right before the January 20, 2025, inauguration, Donald Trump and Melania Trump could still get away with avoiding a "fair launch" as implemented by the launchpads, or thoughtfulness, given their status. This should not be acceptable in 2025, but it is because of the money to be made, both by promoters and traders. I call on Key Opinion Leaders to advocate on what else memecoins could be, and for a consensus to be formed around certain guidelines or token ratings to warrant allocations to memecoins (especially when publicly earmarking funds for memecoins like @AvalancheFDN did). More competition and manifested market interest in thoughtful approaches will be necessary so that pointless celebrity memecoins are not that appealing anymore.
