👋 Excuse me Sir/Madam, do you have a moment to talk about @GMShowofficial? GM Show is the biggest English-language web3 show in Asia. It’s a proud production by @Memeland, yes, the same company behind the useless $MEME (@Memecoin).

👋 Excuse me Sir/Madam, do you have a moment to talk about @Memecoin? $MEME is literally a meme coin. No utility. No roadmap. No promises. No expectation of financial return. Just 100% memes. 😉

Hi, my name is @sc6954, and I’m a $MEME (@Memecoin) farmer at @Memeland. On my honor, I promise that I will do my best to do my duty to my own bag, and to farm #MEMEPOINTS at all times. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work. 🧑‍🌾
