Much like earnings drive the price of corporate shares, the size and quality of attention captured by memecoins drive their price action.<\/p>\n<p>Successful crypto traders understand that DOGE and its kin are not just chips in the \u201cgreat shitcoin casino\u201d but are, in fact, tradable derivatives of human attention. They are tradable assets backed by zeitgeists.<\/p>\n<p>Trading memecoins isn\u2019t just about spinning the wheel but about weighing the coin\u2019s valuation against the amount of attention it\u2019s receiving. As crypto influencer Cobie said, \u201cSmart traders start selling as ownership and valuation have caught up with attention.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This means that human attention is being viewed increasingly as one of the scarcest commodities in the world, which is true. In fact, we\u2019ve known this for so long that it\u2019s now a cliche to talk about the \u201cattention economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>90% of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a>Fi projects are ruining the industry\u2019s reputation<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the 2000s, Web2 companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> and Snapchat learned to monetize attention. They created <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>s that captured people\u2019s attention and tracked their behaviors, which allowed them to farm and sell attention to advertisers.<\/p>\n<p>I know this might sound like undergraduate hooey, but as our economic system changes and evolves, it\u2019s only natural that the types of things we value should expand. If human attention is powerful enough to drive the bottom line of huge companies like Meta and Google, then why not trade it directly? <\/p>\n<p>Memecoins are a way of valuing and trading the attention commodity in a decentralized manner. Using blockchains and automated market makers, anyone can trade on people\u2019s attention and enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>Remember when Joe Rogan got into hot water earlier this year about comments he made on his popular <em>The Joe Rogan Experience<\/em> podcast? Within 24 hours, maybe a dozen Rogan-themed memecoins were launched, with one, Marshall Rogan Inu (MRI), surpassing a\u00a0$50 million market capitalization.<\/p>\n<p>How could the market cap get so high? Well, at that moment, MRI was the top trending coin across trading platforms like DEX Screener, it was blowing up on Twitter, and it had sponsored a mixed martial arts fighter. Its valuation had to catch up with the amount of hype surrounding the project.<\/p>\n<p>Or take DOGE, which pumped following Elon Musk\u2019s Twitter takeover. The higher valuation was not only due to the rational, if risky, play that Musk might integrate the crypto token into Twitter in the future, but it was also a function of crypto traders betting that Musk\u2019s tweets would drive attention to DOGE and increase its price. <\/p>\n<p>Unlike small memecoins that live and die on how much interest there is in the story, memecoin stalwarts like Shuba Inu (SHIB) and Dogecoin also have fundamentals contributing to their value. Indeed, DOGE\u2019s market cap is currently over $16 billion, and it\u2019s one of the largest proof-of-work blockchains following Ethereum\u2019s switch to proof-of-stake in September. <\/p>\n<p>DOGE\u2019s valuation is therefore based on its fundamentals plus attention, whereas memecoins like Will Smith Inu (WSI), which pumped after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, are valued only on attention and are forgotten when the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> cycle moves on.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>Throw your Bored Apes in the trash<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s easy to dismiss all this as meaningless gambling \u2014 and I don\u2019t deny the speculative aspect \u2014 that would miss the change underneath the hood. Memecoins aren\u2019t based on random dice rolls \u2014 they track the human attention commodity. <\/p>\n<p>Given the headwinds faced by the world economy, the creation of new means of speculation and investing is not surprising. Our economies are in danger of grinding to a halt due to declining productivity and scarcer natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>In the future, we will see an uptick in ephemeral aspects of culture becoming tradable commodities. Fractionalized music albums and intellectual property rights are on the way, and thanks to memecoins, people can now trade derivatives based on jokes and tabloid scandals.<\/p>\n<p>The massive market cap of DOGE and the constant parade of microcap memecoins show that our concept of value is shifting from real-world commodities that come out of the ground to the ephemeral qualities that produce culture. And remember, if everyone decides something is valuable, it might well be.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"background: rgb(239, 239, 239); border: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding: 10px;\"><strong>Nathan Thompson<\/strong> is the lead tech writer for Bybit.\u00a0He spent ten years as a freelance journalist mostly covering Southeast Asia before turning to crypto during the Covid-19 lockdowns.
