Bankless | Are Memecoins Good or Evil? @Bankless | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Today on the show we have two guests debating the merits and costs of crypto memecoins. Ledger (Brian Krogsgard) from the UpOnly podcast thinks that memecoins are financial nihilism that creates room for bad actors and grifters. Stephen Cesaro, from the Alfalfa Podcast, thinks memecoins are something to appreciate and celebrate.

Which side are you on?
