Memecoins have gone from being a joke to a major cultural phenomenon that has managed to influence politics, economics and even public sentiment.

紀念物已經從開玩笑變成了一種主要的文化現象，該現象設法影響了政治，經濟學甚至公共情緒。

Let’s figure out how memecoins have transformed from an ironic speculative asset to politics, presidents and billion-dollar scams.

讓我們弄清楚模因如何從諷刺的投機資產轉變為政治，總統和十億美元的騙局。

A joke that went too far

一個笑話

The first is considered to be DOGE. It was created by Billy Marcus and Jackson Palmer in 2013.

第一個被認為是門。它是由比利·馬庫斯（Billy Marcus）和傑克遜·帕爾默（Jackson Palmer）於2013年創建的。

At that time, the topic of crypto was too serious, so they decided to create a humorous response to Bitcoin and the arrogant market – a coin with a funny dog.

當時，加密貨幣的話題太嚴重了，因此他們決定對比特幣和傲慢的市場做出幽默的反應 - 一枚帶有有趣狗的硬幣。

Who knew that it would instantly start gaining popularity? It was first used as a tipping currency on Reddit, and in just two weeks, it had more daily transactions than Bitcoin.

誰知道它將立即開始流行？它首先被用作Reddit上的小費，並且在短短兩週內，它的每日交易比比特幣多。

The success of DOGE was inspiring, and within a month, this trend was picked up by YeCoin, a reference to Kanye West, MaxCoin, a reference to Max Kaiser and more.

Doge的成功令人鼓舞，在一個月之內，Yecoin提到了Kanye West，Maxcoin，提及Max Kaiser等。

This entire category of coins began to form based on references to someone or something famous.

整個硬幣類別開始基於對某人或出名的人的引用。

Ethereum and the ICO boom revitalized the market, but memecoins remained in the shadow of more serious projects.

以太坊和ICO繁榮使市場振興了市場，但Memecoins仍在更嚴肅的項目的陰影中。

Currently, DOGE is considered a hype coin, but it has a responsive community at heart. The coin was positioned as a challenge, a contrast, an underdog or perhaps ‘underDOGE.’

目前，Doge被認為是炒作硬幣，但它具有響應迅速的社區。硬幣被定位為挑戰，對比，弱者或“弱者”。

And this community often supported charitable initiatives and other underdogs.

這個社區經常支持慈善計劃和其他弱者。

You may not have heard about it, but they raised money to send a team from Jamaica to the Olympics, to train dogs for children with disabilities, to build wells in Kenya and to finance the participation of an outsider driver, Josh Wise, in Nascar.

您可能沒有聽說過，但是他們籌集了資金，將一支從牙買加派遣到奧運會，為殘疾兒童訓練狗，在肯尼亞建造井，並為納斯卡省局外人司機喬什·懷斯（Josh Wise）的參與提供資金。

It created a feeling of kindness and unity and allowed even outsiders to stand a chance.

它產生了一種善良和團結的感覺，甚至允許局外人有機會。

This is also a part of the project’s manifesto – to do good every day, put benefit above technical perfection and people above competition and profits.

這也是該項目宣言的一部分 - 每天做好，將收益放在技術完美之上，並超越競爭和利潤。

In 2021, DOGE became mainstream. Thanks to Musk’s activity, the token was picked up by the masses.

在2021年，總督成為主流。多虧了馬斯克的活動，令牌被群眾帶走了。
