Vitalik Buterin published a new blog post on the topic of memecoins.
Buterin said that meme coins are now a huge topic in 2024, continuing on the same path as meme coins like Dogecoin in 2020 and 2021.
"This time, they are heating up again, but in a way that is making many people feel uneasy, because there isn't anything particularly new and interesting about the meme coins."
"We should be making not simple copy-paste coins but rather more complicated and interesting games and games that leave lower-income players in particular economically better off."
Buterin said he has no enthusiasm for coins that are scams, rugpulls or named after totalitarian political movements.
"I want to see higher quality fun projects that contribute positively to the ecosystem and the world around them get more mindshare."
