It’s become painfully obvious this casino shit isn’t working. This isn’t what memes or crypto were ever meant to be. What’s coming off these launchpads (with a few exceptions) aren’t memes — they’re lottery tickets. It’s killed conviction, destroyed patience, and turned true meme believers into gamblers chasing quick flips. We’ve got to fix this. We need to rally around memes with lore, vision, real teams, and fire content. Otherwise, we’ll burn down the meme economy ourselves. Because at that point, this space won’t be about memes anymore — it’ll just be about scratch-offs and horse betting.(David Gokhshtein)
