If in your memory MeMe is still just a zoo, then you are too far behind.
Previously, most MeMe was from the zoo, such as pepe, wif, doge, shib, bonk. Besides these familiar ones, there are actually many more zoo MeMe with lower market values than them.
Recently, new categories of MeMe have also emerged.
1) AI MeMe
The most typical ones are led by Goat, along with ACT, both of which have very high market values. In the past month, a large number of AI MeMe have also emerged. As new entities in MeMe, the wealth creation effect is even more pronounced. AI MeMe will likely continue to emerge as AI keeps expanding its boundaries and new capabilities come in. This requires constant attention. For example, Sitcom, Moe.
2) Adversarial Types
This type of MeMe is not inherently adversarial, but all have a tragic story, harmed by centralized institutions or founders, which sparked a unified community resistance. For example, Neiro and ACT have already been listed on Binance, while typical representatives not listed on Binance include eliza and lester. This type of MeMe inherently has its own attribute, such as eliza being the mascot of ai16z. However, the market prefers to label it as adversarial. Since Binance has already listed two, the market's recognition of this type is also very strong.
3) Desci
Desci can be said to be a newly emerging niche field; it can be considered a track that also combines the gameplay of MeMe. This niche field is easy for those who originally researched projects to accept because it has inherent value and meaning. In this track, without a doubt, the most worth buying are rif and scihub.
4) Cultural and Spiritual Types
This type of MeMe represents a certain spirit or cultural attribute; Murad particularly likes this type of MeMe, and most of his selections are from this category, including his favorite spx6900. Recommended ones include UMad, EVAN, Shoggoth.
5) TikTok Popular Elements
Recently, there is a type of MeMe that features very popular elements and content from TikTok, which is not visible to us regular Twitter users, but represents the cultural identity of a new generation of young people. The most typical example is chillguy. The TikTok MeMe also overlaps significantly with cultural and spiritual types, such as lockin sigma.
6) Correspondence with Specific Events/Persons/Things
For example, Fight, Pnut, Terminus, etc., these cannot be mass-produced, so their quantities are relatively limited, and those that exist are well-known.
7) Artists and Artworks
After Bome has benefited a large number of people, the MeMe of artworks is also very attractive, and MeMe with an artist label will also be looked at more favorably. However, apart from Bome and ban, there doesn't seem to be much noteworthy MeMe.
8) Mascots
The most representative mascot MeMe is luce, while Bitcoin's mascot bitcat has experienced a major rise and fall, and Litecoin's mascot Lester has been labeled as adversarial. Other mascots have become quite prominent. If buying, consider luce.
