He who owns memes rules the world.

Not only Elon understands this truth, it is now a consensus in the West.

This tweet from Vlad is quite interesting.

He said that the Robinhood Chain was originally supposed to be the best RWA chain, but it's also fine to use it for memes.

Translated into plain language:

We entered in suits, only to find a group of meme players in flip-flops squatting at the entrance, their voices louder than investment banks.

Why is this statement very impactful?

Because it is not a low-profile project shouting, "We want to go on Robinhood."

Instead, it is the owner of Robinhood himself standing up and saying:

RWA is serious business.

But memes are not illegitimate.

This is quite subtle.

In the past, many chains thought memes were just leftovers.

The main narrative had to focus on technology, compliance, institutions, bringing assets on-chain, and financial infrastructure.

It sounds very advanced.

But the problem is, the market is not an academic conference.

If you talk to users for an hour about RWA, they might fall asleep by the end.

If you tell users, "there's a new casino on this chain," they will transfer their wallets over in five minutes.

This is the terrifying part of memes.

Meme is not about technology.

Meme is a traffic entrance.

RWA is responsible for making institutions feel that this chain has a future.

Meme is responsible for getting retail investors to come and try it tonight.

One is responsible for writing papers.

The other is responsible for ringing the bell.

A truly powerful chain is not the one that only talks about its TPS, nor is it the one that only claims to be compliant.

A truly powerful chain is one that can get institutions to sit down for a meeting and also allow retail investors to rush in at three in the morning shouting, "Brothers, this is going to be big."

Why can Solana repeatedly revive?

Not because everyone understands the technical roadmap.

But because it has BONK, WIF, ANSEM, and a bunch of on-chain symbols that can call people back.

Why has BSC recently seen a frenzy?

Also because everyone finally understands that without memes on-chain, it’s like a mall without stalls at the entrance.

Very respectable, but no one stops by.

Now Robinhood is even more interesting.

It inherently carries a meme gene.

Don't forget, Robinhood did not grow out of the white-gloved traditional finance.

It emerged from retail investors, zero commissions, GameStop, AMC, WSB, and the pile of emotions from meme stocks.

Robinhood understands one thing best:

Retail investors are not educated first, and then come to trade.

Retail investors get high first, and then find reasons for themselves.

So Vlad's phrase "memes too" seems like a joke on the surface, but in reality, it is opening a second door for the Robinhood Chain.

The first door is called RWA.

For institutions, media, regulators, and analysts.

The second door is called meme.

For on-chain players, speculators, communities, KOLs, and liquidity.

These two doors must be opened simultaneously.

If only RWA is opened, it can easily turn into a financial exhibition.

If only memes are opened, it can easily turn into a night market disco.

RWA + meme looks like a truly promising new chain.

Of course, here's a reality check.

Vlad saying memes can be played does not mean every Robinhood-related meme is a golden child.

There will definitely be a bunch of "royalty" on-chain now.

Some are called HOOD, some are called VLAD, some are called Green Bull, and some would love to print the entire Robinhood family bucket on their avatars.

But don’t automatically assume that just because the boss says something, it’s a divine mandate.

Some coins look very scary in market value, but their actual liquidity might be as thin as paper.

Some projects are surging rapidly, possibly merely due to liquidity being pulled in a tug-of-war.

Some project names are very proper, but in reality, have nothing to do with the official party.

So what’s truly worth watching is not just how much a certain coin has risen.

But a bigger change:

Large platforms have begun to stop pretending they can’t see memes.

In the past, platforms wanted to be presentable.

Now platforms have realized that if they are too presentable, no one will come.

In the past, chains had to prove they could carry assets.

Now chains also have to prove they can carry emotions.

Because assets can be transferred gradually, emotions will explode instantly.

Whoever can catch emotions will have traffic.

Whoever has traffic will have transactions.

Whoever has transactions will have an ecosystem.

Whoever has an ecosystem is qualified to continue talking about RWA, DeFi, payment, and the future of finance.

So I increasingly feel:

The next round of chain competition is not just TVL competition.

It is not merely technical competition.

But a competition for attention.

Whoever can make users willing to open their wallets has already won half the battle.

Whoever can make users willing to share meme images will win the other half.

He who owns memes rules the world.

Not because memes are the most serious.

But because memes are the ones that let people in first.
