🔸Some thoughts on the memecoin narrative
In 20/21 bull, if you were into memes, your options were limited, DOGE, SHIB, FLOKI and maybe few others, most of which were on Ethereum. And most did extremely well.
Enormous inflow of retail/liquidity + few memecoin options = parabolic moves
Things have changed quite a lot since.
1/ Tooling
Back then, deploying an erc20 token wasn't something that the average Joe could easily do. But today, anybody can do it.
Result?
Number of memecoin erc-20 tokens going parabolic in 2024.
138 new memecoins registered on CoinMarketCap last month vs 18 in April 2023.
In reality, CMC captures less than 10% of all tokens so real numbers are much higher.
2/ Chain competition
Due to high gas fees, degen activity has moved (partially) away from Ethereum. We've seen it with Bonk on Solana and Bald on Base. But Solana is now the home of memecoins. Look at distribution of memecoins over time per chain.
Some chains are even launching meme grants/funds.
3/ Standards:
Up until 2023, erc20 was the only established standard for fungible tokens.
But then we saw BRC-20, followed by inscriptions on different EVM chains (SRC-20, DRC-20, ASC-20, etc. )
New standards continued to emerge: brc-721, DN404, ... and the most recent one Runes on Bitcoin.
In fact, only 3 weeks after their launch, there are already 70k rune collections on bitcoin.
Etching (deploying) a rune is extremely easy, just pick a name, supply, premine and you are good to go.
Finally, new tools @pumpdotfun make the whole process even easier (and more fair)?
🔸What does it mean?
In 2021, there were a handful of memecoins on ethereum and thousands of new retail users, millions in liquidity were joining crypto every day.
Today, there are thousands of memecoins launching on dozens of different chains and different standards.
How to possible find the next $PEPE , $WIF?
Will we even see a new >$1b memecoin in this cycle?
Considering the vast majority of these new memecoins will go to 0, you need a lot of diversification if you want to play that game (except for insiders).
Too little diversification (n<10) and your portfolio could go to 0 at anytime.
Too much diversification (n>10) and even a 20x on one of them wouldn't impact the PnL by much, plus the effort required to play the game is so much that you'd either burn out at some point or do some stupid mistakes (or both).
As I said, the number of possibilities is growing rapidly and for the vast majority of people, it's just not possible to consistently have a high win rate in this game.
N is large.
Win rate is low.
Average RR is so so.
Risk is extremely high.
Effort required is very high.
So, maybe in 21, we could say memes were a high risk high reward game. But I'm not sure that's much true anymore. It's more like high risk low reward for most.
Tldr:
In 2021, demand >> supply
In 2024, demand << supply
This is not just a bull market thing. Number of memecoins is just too high now and continues to go higher with a rapid pace.
And even In terms of strategies, if you go with the fully on-chain approach and try to be early, RR is great when it works but win rate is low. Conversely, if you go with the social approach of waiting for it to take over CT, the win rate would be higher but you would miss most of the RR.
Imo the best way to play the memecoin game is combining these two approaches.
There is no doubt that, among the thousands of memecoins launching each year, few of them will print good numbers.
The question is:
- How would you perform playing this game in 2024?
- How does it compare to holding bitcoin or some bluechip (memecoins)?
- Is it worth the effort?
- Do you have an edge?
I'm thinking of recording a video to share some data-driven tips on how to trade memecoins in 2024. Let me know if that is of interest.

Not aimed at any specific project, but have seen a ton of discourse recently on the topic so figured I’d share my take on good token distributions:
1) tokens, not points
2) don’t farm the farmers - teasing and creating ambiguity around a token distribution to grow your numbers is bad behavior. If you don’t know yet, don’t speculate publicly. If you do know but are not ready to share full details, don’t tease them out. Just share real details when ready
3) real liquidity day 1 - low float tokens are malicious and my biggest pet peeve. You don’t need to work with exchanges or market makers. It’s so easy. Just distribute enough tokens publicly that real price discovery happens on DEX. People should start thinking in FDV not mcap when valuing these things
4) don’t create absurdly high token supply to farm people with unit bias, this is also bad behavior
5) don’t be stingy - give a significant amount away. If you don’t think the community deserves a significant amount, don’t release a token
6) don’t market token price - if you tweet about how your token is going to moon or hire influencers, or marketing firms to do so I assume you’re just trying to get rich quick vs build real value
7) keep it simple
8) put real thought and care into your decisions - so you can stand behind them and explain your rationale. Don’t end up in a situation where you’re fighting or apologizing to crypto twitter. Create something you’re proud of and stand behind it
My friends made literally millions this season. They:
• Traded memecoins
• Monitored the whales' wallets
• Farmed airdrops
The main cheat they used – On-chain tools – allowed them to earn 7 figures instead of 4-5.
I collected all the tools you'll need in ULTIMATE 🧵🔽:
One $SOL degen made $2M from initial $1k in his pocket!
I asked him how he got so successful.
The answer was simple: “Mastering of free on-chain tools”.

If you a Blockchain dev, they can easily offer you high-paid project and if you open package.json, you see a dependency called "child_process"
If you see that, do not use npm install
Just simply shift delete the codebase
You're not on Ethereum because you trust the EF, Vitalik, or its users. You’re here because Ethereum eliminates the need for trust. Even if the core devs and validators turn rogue, Ethereum will persist and thrive.
To bring Ethereum to the masses, L2s must also eliminate trust.
For better or worse, blockchains are a hyper-adversarial environment. The conflict of interest is ubiquitous, and even the most sincere actors can be compromised or forced to be evil against their will. To build something that will last, you need to choose the most resilient stronghold as your home. Key to this is technology rooted in cypherpunk ideals.
Trusting core teams is not a sufficient substitute for a trustless network.
You should be on @zksync, because ZK tech makes verifiable computation exponentially scalable. Not because you need to trust teams working on the core protocol or their own L2s, like @the_matter_labs, @grvt_io, @cronosapp, @class_lambda, @moonsonglabs_, @SlushSDK, and many other contributors.
The most critical step in achieving this vision for @zksync is the broad decentralization of the network with a resilient governance framework. This is our sole focus right now. Huge progress has been made in this direction. We are coming close.

It seems that zkSync is leaning towards adopting a "Point-System," similar to the famous "Arbitrum-Style" Airdrop, but with a twist. 🪂
This system will likely involve a more extensive set of rules or "points," potentially incorporating up to 100s or more data points, a significant increase from Arbitrum's 18 or Optimism's 6.
This indicates that active users can anticipate to receive a notably larger portion of the pie compared to "farmers" managing hundreds of wallets aiming to just hit the min requirements.
In essence, it is highly likely that most, if not all, participants will qualify for the airdrop, with the differing factor being the amount they receive.

After extensive research, I have compiled a list of data points with very high potential that are expected to be included in zkSync's upcoming "Arbitrum-Style Airdrop."

Introducing the L2 Landscape for Q1 2024:
A market map of 100+ projects building Layer 2 blockchains
There is an explosion of new L2s on Ethereum, Bitcoin, and beyond. Since the launch of @arbitrum and @Optimism, we have seen significant growth of L2s.
Let’s check it out 👇
$772,000+ IN $FLOKI BURNED OVER THE LAST WEEK THROUGH STRONG UTILITY DEMAND
A week after we announced that $3.2 million in FLOKI tokens was burned due to strong utility demand, an additional 3,743,258,666 $FLOKI tokens, worth $772,234 at the time of writing this, was burnt in the past week alone through strong demand in Floki's utility products, making Floki perpetually deflationary compared to other memes like $DOGE, $PEPE, $SHIB, $BONK, and $WIF.
These utility-based burns automatically remove $FLOKI tokens from circulation with demand and use of Floki products and will continue well into the future as adoption of Floki Ecosystem products increases.
Specifically, these burns are driven by two key Floki products:
1. The Floki Staking program which has a 5 - 20% early unstake penalty fee, which comes in the form of $FLOKI tokens which is burnt perpetually whenever a Floki staker unstakes earlier.
2. The FlokiFi Locker DeFi crypto locker protocol which buys and burns $FLOKI tokens for every successful transaction on the ETH and BNB chains.
While Floki is proud of its memecoin roots, we continue to emphasize our strong utility focus and fundamentals as one thing that makes us different and strongly positions us for dominance compared to other memecoins in the space -- especially as we work towards our goal of being the world most known and most used cryptocurrency.
Floki has seen strong momentum lately, which has resulted in increased adoption of our utility which is fueling the massive burns we've experienced recently. Indications show that this momentum is likely to continue into the bull run, which should result in a lot more $FLOKI being burned in the future.
