In the attention economy era, there is a proliferation of chaos in Meme coin live streaming.

How to make a Meme coin pump?

A general answer would be to gain recognition and attention from the community and the market. However, the specific ways to attract everyone’s attention are diverse and unique.

And among them, live streaming, attracting traffic, gradually became a popular method.

On the Meme coin issuance platform Pump.fun, there are thousands of Meme coins appearing every day. However, if you want to be remembered and make some noise, a easily spreadable Meme image and a simple but catchy text description are far from enough.

Developers who issue coins (Dev) have recently been enthusiastic about appearing in front of the camera and live streaming, vigorously promoting their own coins.

“Brothers, let’s push another 1 SOL and let it rise a bit”, you can easily imagine this kind of model similar to the popular live streaming rewards in China.

But where there is a bustling place, there must be chaos. The current live broadcasts related to Meme coins are actually full of disorder.

For the sake of Pump, burn yourself

If you want my coin to pump, then I’ll set off fireworks to liven things up.

A developer named Mikol started a crazy stunt called DARE with a Meme coin in his live stream.

In order to attract an audience and increase attention, and to Token the price pump, Mikol opted for a dangerous way to attract eyeballs: he smeared himself with alcohol and had fren set off fireworks in front of him.

Unfortunately, the ballistics of the fren’s fireworks were very accurate, and the live video showed his body being ignited; While the fire extinguisher was not prepared in advance for this live broadcast, Mikol himself can be clearly heard screaming, as well as his fren saying:

“He’s burned all over his body, brother, stop the live broadcast and come and help”.

I wanted to ignite the Token price, but in the end I ignited myself.

Extreme, dangerous, and even self-destructive behavior poses a serious threat to Mikol’s own safety and may also have a negative impact on the viewers watching these live broadcasts.

For the pump of tokens, this clearly seems to be more trouble than it’s worth.

What is even more cruel is that the investors of DARE token seem to care less about Mikol’s life itself, but rather discuss whether the price of the coin is starting to fall. Cold-blooded investors believe that he is just acting and wrote on Twitter:

“Fuck it, I don’t have any emotional attachment to anything related to cryptocurrency anymore.”

You cannot know whether this is a real burn or a fake show, but it is a bit too much to put yourself in danger for the sake of token price increase.

Vulgar Phenomena

I want to make a bold move to make Meme pump, not just Mikol’s fancy operation of rubbing alcohol and setting off fireworks.

Previously, a meme coin named Livemom (who lives with her mother) also found a duo who claimed to be mother and son for live broadcast. The duo frequently interacted with the audience and said that when Livemom’s price reached a milestone, they responded with different actions.

It’s just that the content of the whole live broadcast is too vulgar, and the interactive actions are full of hints of pornography and rubbing edges; This “son” even openly made a conditional exchange directly in the live broadcast, and when the price of the coin pumped to a certain range, he asked everyone if they wanted to see certain parts of the “mother” and pour bull’s milk on it.

But ironically, the live broadcast effect is very good. The price of Livemom changes completely with the mother’s actions: if the mother leaves the camera, the token price falls; on the contrary, when the mother makes indecent movements, the token price pumps.

At this time, the meme coin even became a “popular ticket in the erotic live broadcast room”, the popularity of the performance was pump, and the popularity of the performance was fall…

This kind of gameplay, which is unethical and vulgar but can still be correlated with Meme prices, is really eye-catching. After the two of them deleted their social media accounts, the price of livemom was difficult to maintain and eventually could not escape the fate of being forgotten.

Attention economy is everything

Meme coin superimposes the chaos of live streaming, and the core behind it is attention economy.

The more extreme and vulgar it is, the more it can attract draw attention, and at the same time quickly pull a small crowd to entertain themselves, pushing up the price of Token in the abuse.

To attract attention, they spare no effort.

And this practice has already had precedents in China, in fact.

When all kinds of short video platforms quickly occupy everyone’s attention, ugly and vulgar live broadcasts are also flying all over the sky, eating strange food, making strange expressions, and stuffing strange objects into their bodies… The scale is larger than the other, but the flow rate is higher than the other.

Human nature is universal, and the dark side of attention economy is gradually emerging. This trend is not limited to niche markets or a single culture, it is global.

In the encryption market, the chaos is particularly evident because the fluctuations here are already large and often a combination of niche and cutting-edge technology. The rapid popularity of meme coins and the possibility of their collapse in the next moment are the most intuitive manifestation of “fast food culture”. Under this cultural influence, investors often chase short-term gains rather than long-term value.

In the pursuit of instant excitement and attention, players have gradually overlooked the requirement for content quality. This is in line with the characteristics of Meme coins, which are empty in content but easy to spread.

If such spread continues, the impression of the cryptocurrency market being a dirty water may be hard to reverse.

After all, a good Meme should be a punk with love & peace in mind, rather than a pseudo gentleman who disregards all norms with extreme vulgarity.
