CryptoQuant CEO decided to share the obvious things:

if the very foundation of the memecoin market is considered a scam, then, by the same logic, the art market must also be viewed as a scam.

Memecoins are the brainchild of modern infantilism. They were born from a joke, grew up on hype and exist thanks to the desire to get rich quick. No idea, no real benefit, no cultural contribution. It's a dummy wrapped in a bright wrapper of sarcasm.

The problem is that there is nothing behind memecoins except greed and manipulation. People invest their last money, hoping that they will be able to sell it for even more. And in the end, they lose everything.

Now look at works of art. Their value goes beyond the financial market. Paintings, sculptures, music — this is the language through which a person communicates with future generations, tells stories and reflects the complexity of their era.

Now tell me: are memetokens also a language through which you can communicate with future generations? I doubt it.

When a person pays millions for a masterpiece, he is not buying a thing, but a meaning. For example, Van Gogh's paintings are not just brushstrokes, they are emotions, a tragedy that can be felt through the centuries. And Rodin? He did not make pieces of stones; he made a drama that has frozen in marble for centuries.

I will be glad to be wrong if memecoins ever move from the category of "digital garbage" and are placed next to art as an eternal cultural currency.
