The meme token phenomenon continues to capture mainstream attention. Eric Trump recently shared his take on the proliferation of meme coins orbiting around USD1 stablecoin, approaching the trend with a blend of humor and pragmatism—acknowledging the speculative fervor while maintaining a measured perspective. The meme token space, particularly around stablecoin ecosystems, has become a focal point for retail traders and crypto enthusiasts. Projects like $BOB exemplify how narrative-driven tokens gain traction within this volatile segment. Whether these tokens represent genuine utility or pure speculation remains a heated debate within the community. What's clear is that meme tokens are no longer fringe phenomena—they're reshaping market dynamics and attracting interest from unexpected quarters, including traditionally mainstream figures.

Meme coins are just a new way to harvest retail investors, with no real utility and still dare to call themselves projects... but they do attract a lot of traffic.

This wave of meme coins has really taken a lot of people for a ride, but on the other hand, the Trump family has started to voice their opinions, which shows they've definitely gone mainstream.

According to the Token Economics model in the white paper, these meme coins around stablecoin governance mechanisms are actually riddled with vulnerabilities. --- From on-chain data, the incentive incompatibility issue of narrative-driven tokens like $BOB has already been confirmed. --- It is worth noting that behind Eric Trump's statements reflects retail traders' speculative psychology, which has long been studied in DAO governance. --- I suggest everyone read the relevant token economic model analyses first, don't just watch the excitement. The fragility of this meme coin wave is obvious. --- Token Weighted Voting in such a highly decentralized market environment has become ineffective, and I can explain the specific reasons. --- To put it simply, this is speculation without proper governance. If the assumptions hold, 99% of these projects will be out of the market in the next bear cycle.

Meme coins revolve around stablecoins... This wave is indeed a bit crazy, but who says there's no fun? Anyway, retail investors make the fastest profits during times like this.

Meme coins are really popular now, even mainstream figures are starting to comment on them. But to be honest, it's still mostly gambling elements, isn't it?
