TST got listed on Binance. A few thoughts: 1. CZ said “fundamentals”, then talks about a test coin turned meme coin. I posted to clarify that TST was NOT endorsed by me/us. It was just a test token used in a video tutorial. But every clarification post just made it more viral for whatever reason. 😂 2. Is CZ shifting away from fundamentals? No. I am a builder. I always focus on fundamentals. 3. Is CZ “into” meme coins now? It depends on your definition of “into,” I haven’t bought a single meme coin so far. 4. Then, is CZ against meme coins? No. Not “into” something doesn’t mean I am against it. I am not into sports cars; I don’t collect art; I haven’t bought any NFTs; I also haven’t bought most altcoins (I hold BTC and BNB). But I am not against any of the above. And I think most of you’d agree, that I have worked hard and "gone to some lengths" to help many altcoins and the crypto industry in general. I adopt the same view towards meme coins. 5. Why did TST get listed on Binance? I don’t know for sure. I am entirely NOT involved in their listing process. Based on historical experience, people always complain, “Why do you list this but not the coin I hold?” You might not like to hear this, but the truth is: exchanges must compete to list popular coins (with trading volume) as early as possible. If your coin is actively sought after by traders, you don’t need to talk to exchanges. As I always say, work on your project, not the exchanges. 6. Why do people buy memes instead of utility tokens? I don’t know, but I will go on a limb and make a few speculations (pun intended). 6.1 During the last four years, a powerful regulatory agency sued almost anyone with any utility token, falsely claiming they are securities. So, people started to launch memes. 6.2 There are groups of traders known as speculators. Things with clear tangible value are harder to speculate on. They stay around the clear value. This is indeed a challenge for RWA. For example, a building whose value doesn’t fluctuate much may not have a lot of trading activity. Then, it won’t have much liquidity, and the order book becomes thin, then even less trading activity, a vicious cycle. 6.3 Memes are fun, etc. It’s a cultural thing. I am not an expert in this area. There are plenty of die-hard defenders of memes. Don’t go against the community. 7. Lastly, it’s clear there are lots of money ready to invest in the market. Lots of opportunities. You need to build things people want. Happy building and happy memeing! And manage your risks. 🫡
