A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Stablecoins? The best that you can hope for is that they keep their promise not to crash. And sometimes they do crash and people lose all their value. They're like having cash, but much, much worse.
Blockchain is just an incredibly inefficient distributed database. Of course the price of a token has nothing to do with an incredibly inefficient distributed database. So what?
Agreed. Most of the time a traditional database is far cheaper and better performing.
The key innovation of blockchain is that write access is algorithmic, not centrally controlled. This feature is not possible with any other technology.
What feature is that?
write access is algorithmic, not centrally controlled.
So, it's a distributed system, big deal?
For specific use cases, yes.
