Base is for.... 💩coining

from The Current by Leviathan News · host MaterDan

Last night, Base dropped a token on Zora. Yes, that Base. The chain that said it would never have a token. The clean-cut, corporate-sanctioned L2 just went full degen—and we’re all losing our minds. In this episode, Simon breaks down: WTF is a “content coin” and why Jesse Pollak thinks they matter How memecoins turned speculation into art (and back again) Why Solana’s Pump.fun is eating DeFi’s lunch—and feeding SOL How Base is now deep in the same meme mines it once ignored The death of NFTs on Base (RIP Zora v1) Why this might all be about Zora’s upcoming TGE 👀 And the one legit bright spot on Base: Aerodrome locking another $400K in AERO We’re not saying Base betrayed us… but Coinbase shareholders probably loved this move. Listen now if you like: degenerate tokenomics, media theory, memecoin alpha, high-stakes hypocrisy, and mildly coherent rants about why this all matters.
