Vitalik Buterin, the nerdy Ethereum co-founder has been seen on X trolling the memecoin ecosystem, although his post was a response to an earlier statement made by an X user identified as fi.<\/span><\/p>\n Earlier on today, Buterin made a post stating that non-censoring builders be like \u201cI will give up my solo journey unconditionally for you, and I will not be afraid of sacrifice if I am strong for you,\u201d as translated by Google. In return, the X user took a jab at Ethereum holders noting that,<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cIt turns out that you are the luck I want to keep the most. It turns out that we and love were once so close.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This statement somewhat connotes forced love for the Ethereum protocol as an innovation hub. <\/span>The banter continued and this time around, it was directed at memecoin holders. Buterin trolled memecoin holders citing that they sound like \u201cLet\u2019s meow together, meow meow meow meow,\u201d <\/span>per a Google translation of the post shared in Chinese<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n This statement led to a reaction from crypto community members on X with many elongating the tease as is customary of the playful memecoin world.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n memecoin holders be like<\/p>\n \u6211\u4eec\u4e00\u8d77\u5b66\u732b\u53eb\uff0c\u4e00\u8d77\u55b5\u55b5\u55b5\u55b5\u55b5<\/p>\n \u2014 vitalik.eth (@VitalikButerin) January 30, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Notably, Charles Hoskinson\u2019s Cardano had similarly been trolled by community members of other blockchains. <\/span>While the Ethereum co-founder\u2019s post was more light-hearted, the banter involving Hoskinson is more intense.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In one of such encounters<\/span>, Hoskinson was quick to <\/span>respond<\/span><\/a> to the critics of the Cardano\u2019s chain. To make his argument, the founder of the Layer-1 protocol touted the scalability of the network, closely comparing it to Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Markedly, this banter comes amidst a growing positive momentum in the memecoin landscape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Many of the tokens have been seeing significant gains in price. A few days ago, canine-themed memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE) <\/span>registered an 11% price gain<\/span><\/a>. DOGE moved from a 24-hour low of $0.07899 to a price of $0.08818. At the time of this writing, the memecoin is trading at $0.08136.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Shiba Inu is equally performing well with a slight price jump, although the positive sentiment is largely attributed to the <\/span>potential milestones on Shibarium<\/span><\/a>. Myro also markedly recently moved to the position of the third largest memecoin on the Solana network by market capitalization after hitting a new all-time high. The coin <\/span>soared as high as $0.2607 with extreme growth rates recorded<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Several other memecoins have experienced similar upshoots in their prices as well as their user engagement. <\/span>The community traction from these memecoins underscores why prominent leaders in the industry are having fun with the concept.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u2713 Share:<\/p>\nMemecoins Features in Vitalik-Led Banter<\/strong><\/h2>\n
