👋 Excuse me Sir/Madam, do you have a moment to talk about @Memecoin? $MEME is literally a meme coin. No utility. No roadmap. No promises. No expectation of financial return. Just 100% memes. 😉
Despite being sold out already, the sale is scheduled to continue till Friday morning, when previously waitlisted users could gain access to the tokens.
Memeland was built by the team that founded 9GAG, a popular meme-sharing and news site seeded by influential investors, such as YCombinator. It offers several non-fungible token (NFT) and developed applications merging metaverses, gaming and NFTs.
Metaverses refer to virtual lands that operate on a blockchain, usually using a token for transactions.
As per public details, some upcoming Memeland platforms are travel service Holders.com, video sharing service GMGM.com, crypto staking application Stakeland and Petsland, a pets-focused service.
