Who controls the memes, controls the universe! Chill Guy's $405 million crypto project shows that memes are officially mainstream. Is this the future of advertising?🤔 Scrolling through social media these days, it’s hard to miss the viral ‘Chill Guy’ meme—a laid-back, sweater-wearing dog with a vibe so cool it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s #workplace jokes, political satire, or even brands jumping on the trend, Chill Guy is literally everywhere.  And honestly, I love how memes like these have become the universal language of the internet. It all started on October 4, 2023, when artist Philip Banks introduced Chill Guy on Instagram. With his unbothered smirk and cool attitude, the dog instantly connected with people worldwide. Fast forward, and now brands like Sprite and the National Football League (NFL) are using it to engage with audiences. Even the #crypto space jumped in, with a Chill Guy token hitting a $405 million market cap! But, Philip Banks, the creator, has openly criticized the use of Chill Guy in crypto projects and is now seeking #copyrightprotection. While memes are a cultural phenomenon, they also highlight the fine line between community-driven fun and commercial misuse. I believe this story tells two things:   1️⃣ The Power of Memes in Marketing: Memes are more than just jokes—they’re a way for brands to humanize themselves, spark real conversations, and stay culturally relevant. A single meme can do what traditional #ads often fail to make people feel something. 2️⃣ Respect for Creators: As memes go mainstream, recognizing and respecting the creators behind them is crucial. After all, they’re the ones shaping the culture that we’re all trying to be part of.  In today’s world, meme marketing is essential. But, like everything, it only works if it’s done with authenticity, #creativity, and respect for the creators behind the scenes.  What’s a meme that’s resonated with you recently? And do you think meme marketing is here to stay?😊 #MondayMotivation #startups #marketing #branding #advertising #cryptocurrency #mememarketing

MAN THREATENS TO SHOOT FISH IF TRADERS DON’T SEND HIS TOKEN TO $25M MC! The viral success of GenZ Quant making $30k in a day has lead to non crypto native individuals from everywhere flooding crypto token launch platform Pumpdotfun. The platform is now being used mainly for its livestream feature as many livestreamsers from twitch, onlyfans, tiktok, and other platforms have realized they can monetize more easily by launching a token. With this influx of market participants, people are competing for viral mindshare, and have started coming up with crazier and crazier concepts to gain viewers. Here are the top 10 craziest tokenized livestreams on pumpdotfun: 1. No $HANDS No hands was livestream started by a man who claimed to have no hands. He convinced viewers to purchase his token $hands by telling them he can’t possibly dump supply if he has no hands (he can’t click the sell button). Of course once the token bonded to Raydium he immediately revealed that he did in fact have hands, they were behind his back, and he sold the tokens immediately. 2. $LIVEWITHMOM A child opens up a stream with his very attractive mom and tells viewers his mother will take more and more clothes off as marketcap climbs. Token eventually did hit 20m and he dumped. This was the first NSFW livestream on pumpfun which then lead to other online models flooding the platform. 3. Cracked $DEV A homeless man dubbed the cracked dev rented a hotel room and proceeds to do crazier and crazier acts for money. He starts off by consuming a large amount of drugs, and then hires an escort to join him and dance for money. Half way through the livestream he overdoses, but it was later found out he was faking his death so he can run away with the money. 4. $DARE A man goes live and tells viewers he will do dares for large purchases of the token. He eventually gets dared to “burn yourself instead of burn the tokens” so he proceeds to go outside and light himself on fire! He survives but suffers 3rd degree burns. 5. $FISHKILLER Man threatens to kill a fish live if the marketcap of his token does not hit $1m. He is pictured holding a fish and pointing a gun at it. MC soares to 1m, and he then updates his target to 25m. He is livestreaming right now! With thousands of tokenized livestreams launching daily this begs the question: will digital content creators start moving towards decentralized social platforms? SocialFi has been one of the newest narratives that has innovated during this previous bear cycle but ultimately didn’t pick up any steam. Pumpdotfun itself did not launch as a socialfi platform but instead launched as a defi platform with social features. Now that content creators know they can monetize with crypto, will this start a decentralized social media bull run?

This author explores the interplay between social and financial capital in social finance (SocialFi) platforms, emphasizing the design space for creating engaging, high-skill information games that can financialize social networks. They categorize social platforms into four types — cozyweb, influencer, professional, and earner — based on their focus on social versus financial capital and whether the dynamics are implicit or explicit. #crypto #web3 https://lnkd.in/gR_-ia5m

Right now, you might be slowly killing your #crypto brand… If, as the majority of crypto marketing people, you focus too much on future rewards and treat your product like a money-grabber, not a story 💵 The thing is: nothing sells like a personal experience. You’ll not be remembered for your #tokendrop. If you don’t offer anything beyond, users will constantly come and go. But there’s a solution, even if you feel like you’ve messed up your #marketing… Short videos. Why? Because they: 👀 Grab attention quickly—while an even perfectly written text gets lost, it takes just 3 seconds for a #Reel to hook your potential user. Short videos cut through the noise in almost any region, whether it is #LatinAmerica or #Asia. 💪 Build trust with authenticity—62% of viewers trust brands more after seeing raw, authentic content. Short videos show the real side of your project and make you relatable. 🎡 Engage and convert organically—short-form content isn’t just for fun; it works. #TikTok alone drives 1,5 billion active users, and it gets people to act, not just watch. 🌎 Expand your reach worldwide—short videos break barriers. TikTok’s algorithm has turned it into a global powerhouse, putting your #content in front of the right people, anywhere. You may be wondering, “What if I stop selling and just tell a story? Won’t I lose users?” The results from campaigns we’ve launched for crypto projects across Asia, Latin America, and the #UAE show the opposite. They’ve gathered 300M+ views, not just attracting followers but driving real conversions. Want to see how it works for you?

Crypto-curious digital PRs can make 4-5 figs on pump fun. ... Before we start, I'm not selling anything here. Just sharing the info. Ok, let's go. I see hundreds of highly talented digital PRs here on LinkedIn. I think you have an unfair advantage on pump fun Pump fun launches meme-coins - crypto tokens fueled by hype rather than innovation. Their value stems purely from the attention they attract. Attention economy. That's where it gets interesting. Every digital PR professional has a knack for spotting trends and using them to their advantage. Example: When Donald Trump survived the assassination attempt, his supporters created a memecoin EAR to commemorate the event. Anyone who bought $100 worth of the coin within the first 15 minutes could have sold it for $4,000 just 6 hours later. Digital PR experts have an unfair advantage here due to their understanding of trends, narratives, viral potential, emotional triggers, relatability, and meme-ability. Furthermore, you don't have to brainstorm, create a media list, conduct outreach, write, sell, etc. All you have to do is place your bet on the fastest horse in the race. This is what seemed interesting to me. However, if you're unfamiliar with cryptocurrency and its associated risks, I strongly advise against taking action based solely on this post. At the end of the day, I still think it's gambling. But with a strong advantage for digital PRs. And what do you think of it?
