[Solana co-founder mocks Vitalik Buterin, defends meme coin craze]
Solana co-founder Raj Gokal has recently staunchly defended meme coins and publicly rebutted skeptics of meme coins, including Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin. Gokal posted a message on
Gokal believes that doubts about meme coins may hinder innovation in the crypto industry. He pointed out that although meme coins may not seem serious, they are part of crypto innovation and play an important role in promoting community participation and creative development. He warned that people who cannot accept recreational applications may have difficulty adapting to the rapidly changing crypto world.
In addition, Lily Liu, chairman of the Solana Foundation, also issued a statement supporting the founders of meme coins. She emphasized that these founders have demonstrated a high degree of ability and professionalism in establishing community-centered economic models. Liu pointed out that while these projects may not create direct economic value in the traditional sense, they bring important social and cultural value to the crypto community.
In addition, although Gokal and another co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko promote meme coins, they always remind the community to be wary of potential scams and recommend that investors conduct thorough investigation before participating in any pre-sale activities. This shows that while they are promoting innovation, they do not ignore the importance of investor protection.
