Meme Coins: WHY?

[bitfightclub]

Greetings, dear forum members!

In a world where memes turn into millions, and noise is valued over meaning, I find myself sitting here, trying to understand where it’s all heading. Maybe I’m too old (I’m 37), or maybe I’m just falling behind the times. But one question won’t let go of me: how can nothing suddenly be worth something?

From a young age, I was taught that value comes from results — obvious, logical, tangible results. This principle has guided me throughout my life. Whenever I started a project, I always put in maximum effort to create something real — something you could see, touch, and understand. It’s always been important to me to finish what I start and take responsibility for my actions. Empty talk for the sake of talking? Not my style.

But now, I look around and see people chasing phantoms: ideas on paper, projects that 95% of the time remain just dreams. Investment hype, promises, noise — that’s apparently all it takes to make money. Meanwhile, you’re sitting there, actually working, creating something real — and for some reason, it’s valued less.

What is value?
Every project I work on absorbs my time, effort, and soul. Even if a project fails, it still teaches something — a negative experience, maybe, but a real one. And meme coins? What do they bring? What ideas do they convey? What value do they create?

One of my recent projects is a fight club — it’s a Telegram miniapp, BitFightClub, and a separate website. I poured everything I know and can do into this. I don’t have money for ads or promotions, so I assumed people who build their own clubs and achieve success would naturally share the project’s value among themselves. Fair enough, right? Those who invest effort and get results deserve more.

But here’s what really gets to me: maybe none of it even matters anymore? Maybe people have forgotten how to see meaning in something real because memes and hype have become the new currency.

In today’s world, it’s not about principles or effort — it’s about how loud you shout and how much noise you make around yourself. If you’re not in the game, you’re out. But I’m not ready to just stand by and watch. If this world has turned into an arena where only those who hit emotions — not substance — win, let’s figure it out together.

What separates a real idea from a hollow one?
If someone knows the answer, I want to hear it. Because giving up isn’t in my nature.

Also, if anyone can spare a moment to look at my latest project, I’d really appreciate constructive criticism. I need to find and address its weak points.

What do you think?

So you were building a project in mini-app and now want to introduce it here? Is that so?

Then you say you don't have money to do advertising or promotion, but it depends on your skills how to introduce your project, but when building a project without capital it is difficult to reach out widely, some influencers must be paid in order to promote etc..

So your project is categorized under memecoins?

You know, try to explore this field, try to look at different social media platforms. From what you mentioned, OP, it seems to me that you want to create a project that is in the meme coin category, right? Well, if you just expand your thinking and understanding, you can easily think of it as a problem to be solved if what you think is a serious problem but in reality it is just a light problem.

There are others here who, even without money, can create meme coin tokens that are worthless, what about people who have really good intentions in the crypto community. Find a network that you can spend cheaply, or maybe enter the ICO project category if you know the right process here.

To be honest, if you have no money for marketing then you won't be able to gain any attention even if you make a top level meme coin or a mini app. Telegram mini apps also require marketing and without marketing it's not possible to get many users for your app and without many users it's not possible to make any profits.

I understand what you are going through here, the era is changing and concepts are changing, new projects do not require high experience and great knowledge of programming languages ​​and codes or complex designs and so on, all you need is some simple graphic designs and a little money with a lot of promotion and advertising.

In other words, you have to spend a little money on developing the project but a lot of money on advertising and promotion and then you will get a successful project no matter how ridiculous it is.

Look at Telegram games for example, they are all silly pictures and some movement and depend on clicking all the time and nothing else, but despite that they reap millions of subscribers and millions of dollars.

the idea is a revolution against the regulators. if SEC is not considering these memecoins such as Doge as security because it has no value  nor use case then nothing will happen to the investors because after all SEC will not tough it. however there are so much memecoins already and most popular ones are already sky high. the most recent i've seen is the HOSKY token.

the marketing to hype the coin would be a big help but this is also hard to achieve if you can't list the token on large exchanges, its the one that can make it popular.

I think you lack confidence in your project, which is not good. You will just waste your time and effort if you build something and you don't believe it will be received by people. Since you are the developer, you should be the one to believe that your project will reach milestones. If visitors show you don't have trust in your project, why would they trust it?

But here’s what really gets to me: maybe none of it even matters anymore? Maybe people have forgotten how to see meaning in something real because memes and hype have become the new currency.

That's not true; its just investors like quick profit. I still consider memes as a risky investment, with a few exceptions. Its still a usecase that will define a project and will get the support of the community.

I think one reason meme coins are just so popular and all over the crypto space and internet is because it's an easy way to making a decent amount of cash if of course you play in the right track with the right information. To an extent I think meme coins are all over the place because developers these days don't actually care about creating a network with "X" number of beneficial qualities.

Coins and tokens all over the place these days have their sole purpose of creation as generating revenue or simply making money. I think they they believe we already have networks like Bitcoin and Monero that stand for that.

i don’t think they believe anything i think they don’t care about anyone but themselves if i am being honest they don’t care if you have a coin to use for actual real life stuff as long as they earn money for themselves that’s why they don’t bother to even try and develop a good project for the community

Yeah that's quite true. What most developers care about these days is how to make profit for them selves ranging from projects that are actually scam schemes and lying to the masses about  how the project  has potential to do this and that when they are aware that deep down what they are actually in search for are investors to pump price shortly before they dump it.

I remember sometime ago when someone asked why most of these projects don't have open source softwares and some one simply answered they are probably scared of some one competing with them by copying their codes.

      -       That's not good if those who conduct campaign projects are seen to have doubts about their project by prospective investors who can buy their crypto coin that is being campaigned in this field.

Of course, why would I buy it if I, as an investor, could see for myself that those who are in charge of promoting the crypto project are hesitant about what they are doing, then I would be even less interested in buying what they are promoting.

Many people have made meme coin tokens without spending a lot of money. Think about finding way to do it that does not cost too much or look into ICO project category. By the way if you will look in to the meme coin world so you will see that many big influencers has made memecoins on name of their pet names so the influencer has a bid impact on their fans so this help him in his project and the project become popular and big investors also take a part in it and memecoin become popular.

How can a project or developer make many people believe when they themselves are not confident in the project they are building. It doesn't make sense to me to be able to make people believe and eventually become investors in it.

The first rule is they have to be confident, even scammers are always confident when building a project. So confidence is very important in this case.

Greetings, dear forum members!

In the whirlwind of discussions, I feel I may have veered off track, spreading my thoughts too thin. Let me clarify: my main question isn’t just about the noise surrounding meme coins but about their very essence — why do they hold any value at all? Why can a random teenager, naming a coin after their pet, attract massive attention and investment? Why does something like that seem to carry more weight in the eyes of millions than something genuinely crafted with effort and purpose?

What do you think?

everything is a superficial concept mate even money doesn't have any value if there is no demand for it everything is nothing until people gives it value the higher the demand the higher the value the higher the price not every thing has actual purpose but if people think it is valuable then it will be

and do not even think you are 'too old' you are not old at all! regardless of age we can all learn and try to understand things

that is unfortunate but these days all you need to find is how your project will be talked about by people you are right that not everything good in paper gets the recognition it deserves because people will flock towards where other people have already flocked towards to as long as you promote it correctly and you get people talking about it its value will be increased
