A Brief History of Meme Coins and Why MAD is the Next Generation One

We have seen a lot of movement in the meme coin space over the last few years. First, there was DOGE. That was the dog that went to billions. But what kind of content did DOGE produce? Can you remember any memes featuring the DOGE image?

Then came Pepe. It became popular on 4chan. It was created in 2008 and gained significant traction on 4chan in 2015. It was the most popular meme there. This was a meme driven by the community. People took the initiative to create content and post it on social media. Another billion-dollar one.

Ponke came and changed the game. Although it hasn’t reached a billion yet, Ponke has established a new level of content with its animated cartoon. It really created an engaged community, and if you are in this space, chances are that you have seen someone wearing a helmet.

The next move is with MAD. The token was launched less than three months ago and skyrocketed suddenly. MAD showcased content that no one had ever seen. It’s really hard even to describe. These guys somehow managed to make videos featuring the MAD mascot in the real world that look so real you really believe it’s true. And they are going viral on Instagram—4 million views, 6 million views.

MAD took a hit when KOLs decided to sell their shares early. It dumped more than 86% in just one day. This could have been the end of the token, but it worked in the opposite way. The team was quick, demonstrated their presence on Twitter, tripled the number of posts, and regrouped the army.

When you watch their videos, it’s like seeing an iPhone for the first time. You recognize that this is the real deal—the new and the next move.

MAD sits at a valuation of $30 million right now. It’s truly a candidate to reach billions.
