How to Talk About Crypto With Your Family This Thanksgiving

While POPCAT, BONK and MOODENG capture culture and community in ways that make insiders smile, the flip side is making our industry look a little delulu. When trying to get pension funds and family offices to allocate to crypto, it’s hard to argue the virtues of Fartcoin, no matter how many brussel sprouts you’ve eaten. The memecoin craze is fun but shouldn’t overshadow the real power of crypto to bring better, more efficient, more effective financial services to the world. It’s simple — for the 1.4 billion people shut out of the traditional financial system, crypto is a better way to store value, access lending and build wealth, empowering them to take control of their financial futures. Also, when it comes down to it, memecoins are an incredibly innovative new form of expression and financial participation that can provide a sense of community and belonging missing from much of the polarizing social discourse on centralized platforms.
