🐱👤 Vitalik Buterin has had enough of celebrity meme coins!
He says, "No more pumping coins just to enrich insiders. Let’s focus on projects that actually do some good!"
Vitalik reacted to Chris Burniske’s claim that Mother Iggy ($MOTHER), related to Iggy Azalea, might be the "mother of celebrity experiments." Burniske thinks it could work if it achieves sustainable value.
But Buterin has higher standards. He likes Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' Stoner Cats better. At least they funded a real show!
Vitalik's checklist for a good crypto project:
1. 🌍 Socially beneficial goals (art or charity).
2. 🎮 Fun mechanics beyond token swapping (something to engage with).
3. ⏳ Long-term interest (10 years minimum, not just a short-lived trend).
His golden rule? Even if all tokens crash, participants should still be glad they joined! 🚀💥
