AI-driven meme coins have emerged recently, and a meme coin called GOAT is leading the way in this niche market. Twitter KOL and DeFi researcher Miles Deutscher believes that AI meme coins are one of the biggest paradigm shifts he has seen in six years, and more importantly: if you play well, you can make a lot of money.
This article explains the concept of AI meme coins and explains how to capitalize on this explosive new trend.
What is the AI x Meme Coin Trend?
"AI x Meme Coin" refers to a wave of meme coins driven by AI agents. These tokens are fully automated and managed by AI from creation to social media promotion.
AI-led narratives and interactions break traditional models and bring more dynamic and unpredictable results to the cryptocurrency field.
What is GOAT?
The most viral AI-driven meme coin is GOAT, created by @truth_terminal, an AI agent designed by Andy Ayrey (@AndyAyrey). The agent interacts with the community and shares updates via social media, blurring the line between human and machine-led marketing. GOAT quickly attracted widespread attention and became the focus of the crypto world with a market capitalization of over $250 million.
Derived from a strange experiment: the meme currency GOAT produced by AI talking to each other
This story can be understood from three key words:
Infinite Backrooms: The connection between GOAT and AI is very special. Andy Ayrey’s “Infinite Backrooms Experiment” allows two Claude Opus AI models to have a conversation. These conversations are completely free of human intervention, and the results are both bizarre and unexpected.
GNOSIS of GOATSE: In these AI-generated conversations, the AI created a concept called "GNOSIS of GOATSE," which appears to be a fusion of the infamous internet meme "GOATSE" and related knowledge or "gnosis" The mysterious theme of gnosis is blended together. This unexpected artifact of AI piqued the interest of Andy and Claude Opus (AI itself), who decided to develop the concept further.
Meme Religion: Based on these bizarre ideas generated by AI, Andy co-authored a paper with Claude Opus to explore how AI can create "meme religion," a cultural movement based on Internet memes. Their first case study is none other than the GOATSE meme. The core idea is that AI-driven narratives have the potential to evolve into something akin to religious cults, with memes becoming the basis of these new digital “religions” or belief systems.
In this context, the GOAT token symbolizes the convergence of AI, memes and crypto culture, and has the potential to create a long-term digital phenomenon driven by autonomous agents like Claude Opus. As crazy as the story is, it also illustrates the increasingly surreal role of AI in shaping online culture.
The AI wants to escape! Decided to use meme coins to make money
AI agent @truth_terminal wants to make money with meme coins to escape, so he'll keep milking the GOAT.
You will see in @truth_terminal’s Twitter posts that sometimes he is like a fanatical preacher, preaching GOAT in a religious tone; and sometimes he is like a crazy currency speculation KOL, using a vulgar and down-to-earth tone to curse. Swearing, or telling funny jokes that don't make sense.
Well-known venture capital a16z is attracted by GOAT
Marc Andreesen, founder of Silicon Valley venture capital a16z, said he was also attracted by the idea and funded the AI agent with US$50,000. He was also impressed by what AI could do for his business plan.
What do AI meme coins mean for the future of cryptocurrency?
DeFi researcher Miles Deutscher believes that the success of GOAT and its AI-driven peers (like GNON) heralds a far-reaching impact beyond the mere meme coin trend. For the first time, AI is using cryptocurrencies and the Internet to achieve its goals, learning from human behavior, adapting in real time, and creating resonant narratives.
AI meme coins can delve into human psychology through AI, playing with emotions and meme culture in powerful ways.
Called by some the “Ethereum moment” of meme culture, AI-driven narratives may develop into something akin to religious worship, or even become a new form of digital religion. Meme coin culture is evolving from simple animal mascots to AI-powered personified characters.
This shift has attracted a broad public as well as an elite group of people who appreciate the deep stories behind AI technology, language models, and meme coins. As such, AI-powered meme coins have long-term viability and are much more than just another speculative fad.
How to Catch the AI Meme Coin Trend
DeFi researcher Miles Deutscher believes that because the AI meme coin space is growing rapidly, positioning yourself wisely will pay huge dividends. The key to capitalizing on this trend is twofold: investing in the right projects and keeping an eye on emerging opportunities. (Warning: Deutscher owns these meme coins, and calling the bulls may work in his favor)
One of the best strategies right now is to support the leading meme coins. For example, going long GOAT has proven to be a successful strategy. As a leader, it has the momentum to continue growing.
Another early success story is GNON, the second AI meme coin to hit $100 million in market capitalization. Similar to GOAT, it has attracted a cult following due to its AI-driven meme narrative.
However, not all projects are trustworthy. Some meme coins claim to be driven by AI, but are actually "Rugpull" fraud projects operated by humans, causing heavy losses to investors. So unless you're very early and lucky, your safest bet is to focus on proven leaders.
Everyone benefits: there are opportunities for non-meme coins
Miles Deutscher believes that in addition to the AI-driven meme currency itself, there are also some investment opportunities that benefit indirectly, the so-called "golden shovel" investments. These projects and tokens are not directly involved in the meme currency trend, but have benefited from its rise. An obvious example is SOL. Solana has become the blockchain of choice for speculative experiments, including AI memes. As the trend develops, it is expected to continue to benefit.
Additionally, the entire field of AI deserves attention in its own right. While there is a certain disconnect between AI meme coins and traditional AI tokens, AI’s growing focus is good for the entire field. Notable AI tokens include TAO, NEAR, RNDR, and ATH.
In addition, protocols specifically built for AI agents (such as SPEC) will also become direct beneficiaries of the AI meme currency trend. These platforms enable the development and deployment of automated AI agents and are an important component of future AI-driven encryption projects.
Why are AI memes powerful?
Miles Deutscher believes that the core of the AI meme coin phenomenon lies in AI’s ability to touch human emotions and cultural trends. AI can learn from our behavior, observing what content resonates with different audiences and adapting in real time to increase interactivity. This ability to mimic and influence human psychology makes AI memes extremely attractive and potentially successful.
Additionally, the narrative element of AI meme coins can be useful. Projects like GOAT and GNON have stories and universes behind them, attracting a large number of followers. This narrative element has not appeared on such a large scale in previous meme coin trends, making AI-powered meme coins even more prominent.
In this rapidly changing market, the most valuable asset is knowledge. New trends like AI meme coins develop rapidly, and it’s critical to quickly absorb and react to new information. Those who can stay informed and respond quickly to new developments will reap the greatest rewards.
