What’s Going On With Meme Coins

E502: People know that meme coins are dumb and carry no real value. So why are they investing billions into them?

How did the PNUT meme coin created to honor the euthanized squirrel, Peanut, grow to a market cap of $2.2 billion?

How is the PEPE meme coin worth over $10 billion?

And what does this teach us about the current state of the world? What does this teach us about brand building and marketing?

Turns out it teaches us a lot.

That is what is shared on this episode of The Edward Show.
