- All are copied: genes copy through cells and reproduction, memes copy through communication and media.
- Social influences: Genes shape the way we exist and respond to the environment. Memes influence how we think, interact, and develop socially and culturally.
Noticeable, #meme very similar to genes in being 'units of transmission'.
So there is a high possibility of two things happening:
- Selection: natural selection genes, cultural selection memes.
- Change to adapt: genetic mutation vs meme mutation
Applying the above information in cryptocurrency, the following 3 types of memes are growing better than the rest:
1. Memecoin has proven to have profound cultural influence & has maintained that influence in the past. $PEPE is the most typical example.
2. #Memecoin has the goal of building its own culture (native) for web3. MOG is working on it, but because it's new, it needs more time to prove it works.
3. Mutant meme to adapt: Essentially a meme but adding technological properties to adapt to blockchain investor files. SHIB is the most obvious example.
$DOGE is more macro, is a combination of all 3 factors above: Originating from a meme used on social networks, bringing it in and turning it into a native meme in cryptocurrency, backed by billionaire Elon Musk and add technological elements to adapt: Blockchain, Doginals, Payment.
