Last night, Base dropped a token on Zora. Yes, that Base. The chain that said it would never have a token. The clean-cut, corporate-sanctioned L2 just went full degen—and we’re all losing our minds.

In this episode, Simon breaks down:

WTF is a “content coin” and why Jesse Pollak thinks they matter

How memecoins turned speculation into art (and back again)

Why Solana’s Pump.fun is eating DeFi’s lunch—and feeding SOL

How Base is now deep in the same meme mines it once ignored

The death of NFTs on Base (RIP Zora v1)

Why this might all be about Zora’s upcoming TGE 👀

And the one legit bright spot on Base: Aerodrome locking another $400K in AERO

We’re not saying Base betrayed us… but Coinbase shareholders probably loved this move.

Listen now if you like: degenerate tokenomics, media theory, memecoin alpha, high-stakes hypocrisy, and mildly coherent rants about why this all matters.
