Memes are funny little things. They can rally communities, start movements, and whatnot. Essentially, they're an easy way to package cultures and build shared vocabulary within a community.

Memecoins take this a step further. Now, people can literally put their money where their mouth is. Those with both social and financial capital can significantly influence a meme's traction.

So, where am I going with this?

If you were one of the cracked degens watching the UCL Final while keeping an eye on pump.fun, you’d have seen a flurry of Dani Carvajal themed memecoins pop up the moment he scored for Real Madrid. Unreal.

That’s when the aha moment hit — the idea of 'tokenize everything' isn’t far off. The time to token for a trend or an event has rapidly shrunk.

And Pump contributes massively to this acceleration. It allows anyone to create a token on a whim. There’s no need to worry about deploying the token or seeding the initial liquidity, or bear any responsibility at all. The learning curve & means required to launch a memecoin has flattened completely.

This leads us to the latest iteration of the cultural grapevine — pump.fun.

An army of real hoomans and mechanical bots racing to spot trends and events, then tokenize them in hopes of a moonshot. Used the right way, pump.fun's terminal outshines Twitter’s trending tab.

You can't beat the crowd-sourced stream of consciousness capturing whatever is relevant in the world. Anything that garners a threshold of attention will soon have its own token.

Consider this: anything, no matter how small, that captures public attention will be tokenized. It's inevitable.

With such rapid tokenization, what are the broader implications? How does turning every cultural moment into a potential investment affect our perception of these events?

As the lines between culture and commerce get blurry, one thing is clear — the future of how we interact with, invest in, and understand culture is changing.

What would the world look like where everything has a price tag?
