How Bitcoin Prepared Us for the Memecoin Era | Murad Mahmudov
Bell Curve
Shownotes Transcript
In this episode, Murad Mahmudov joined us to bridge the gap between Bitcoin maximalism and memecoins! We dove into the exponential growth of altcoin bubbles, parallels between NFTs and Memecoins, and finding cult-like communities. Additionally, we asked ourselves: how important is revenue? Is Bitcoin a memecoin? Can older altcoins ever come back? Finally, we unpacked the four year crypto cycle.
Thanks for tuning in!
