The Messari executive has described these humor themed coins as a \u201cTrojan horse\u201d which could potentially facilitate the entry of new users into the realm of cryptocurrency, effectively boosting adoption. During her speech, Bus disclosed that the introduction of these coins has successfully attracted the attention of both crypto and non-crypto enthusiasts. This is seen in the cryptocurrency\u2019s ability to capture the attention of investors, utilizing its meme-based marketing strategies to fuel engagement while also providing opportunities for massive profitability due to its speculative nature.\u00a0 Bus believes that meme coins could be likened to a long tail speculative service like lottery tickets which attract investors seeking high risk, high reward opportunities. Additionally, owing to their relatively low price value, they cater to individuals across various income brackets, who are willing to take speculative bets in the hopes of securing significant returns.\u00a0 Moreover, according to the Messari executive, meme coins serve as a gateway for newcomers to the Web3 space, exposing them to fundamental crypto concepts like decentralization.\u00a0\u00a0 The Growing Allure In Crypto Space Lately, the rise in interest in meme coins has been growing at an exceptional rate, attracting both investors and traders from all over the world.
