Trader Ansem said 2017-era altcoins were not fundamentally different from today’s meme coins, drawing a comparison between how each category attracted market capital. In his view, many altcoins in 2017 relied on white papers and founder-driven narratives to bring in funds. By contrast, he said today’s meme coins at least openly acknowledge what they are: an attention trade. Ansem also said he is more bullish on meme coins now than at any point before. The comments were reported by ChainCatcher.
