Why Money isn't Real

Memes are great. They get people invested. They allow for a certain element of growth and inflow because they are:

  1. Funny
  2. Trade FOMO fundamentals
  3. Create investable narratives
  4. Are real, because memefication manifests an element of reality
  5. So despite all the memecoin run ups, the stock market going absolutely bonkers, public accounting being a bit ~loose~, and the Metaverse likely being our future - we have to remember that even though a lot of it doesn’t *feel* real, it is.

    SHIB is real. It’s a meme. The U.S. Dollar is real. It’s a meme of the collective belief in the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. Accounting is a meme. It makes companies go up even when they shouldn’t.

    Everything is a meme! (except the supply chain)

    But money IS REAL (little bit of clickbait on the title).

    But we can’t forget at the end of the day that we *exist* feet on the ground. A bit dark - but if you die in the metaverse, you die in real life.
