About this episode

@GarzaGarciaJG argued that Pepe and other memecoins are a Ponzi scheme because they create no real wealth. Other participants pushed back: Pepe makes no return promises, has no central entity to hold accountable, and its community gives it a cultural value beyond speculation. The debate ended without agreement, though everyone agreed on doing research before investing and watching out for scams and fake airdrops.
