‘DOGE much larger than D-List celeb memecoins:’ MOTHER, DADDY divide the community

    Celebrity memecoins like $MOTHER and $DADDY faced volatility despite community support.
    Robert Leshner of Superstate acknowledged the cultural impact of memecoins like Dogecoin.

As a seasoned crypto investor with several years of experience in the market, I have witnessed firsthand the volatility and unpredictability of memecoins like MOTHER and DADDY. While these coins may garner significant attention and community support, their market values can be subject to sudden and drastic fluctuations.


Recent social media conversations have been buzzing with excitement about two popular meme coins, Mother Iggy (MOTHER) and Daddy Tate (DADDY).

In spite of the recent drops in value – a 9.08% decrease for DADDY and a 15.54% decline for MOTHER – the enthusiasm and commitment from their respective communities remain strong.

Many people hold the opinion that memcoins associated with celebrities lack enduring worth and are merely a squandering of resources. Pondering over this perspective, X (previously known as Twitter) user legen expressed this viewpoint on X.

As a seasoned crypto investor, I strongly advise against pouring your hard-earned funds into memecoins. The unfortunate reality is that over 99.9% of these digital assets eventually plummet to zero, including those backed by celebrities. This trend repeats itself during each market cycle. To avoid falling into the same trap, consider investing in established and reputable coins instead. Patience and a long-term perspective are your best friends in this dynamic and often unpredictable market.

Dogecoin, the king of memecoins?

In the latest installment of “Unchained” podcast, Robert Leshner, the CEO and co-founder of Superstate, offered an intriguing comparison between Dogecoin (DOGE) and other popular meme coins, providing a detailed and insightful take on their differences.

Leshner highlighted that Dogecoin sets itself apart in the cryptocurrency market through its playful imitation of digital currencies such as Bitcoin [BTC] and Litecoin [LTC]. Despite being a mockery, it has demonstrated remarkable staying power and significant influence within the crypto community.

He added, 

In simpler terms, “Dogecoin stands out more in the societal encyclopedia of cryptocurrencies compared to a endless list of lesser-known celebrity coins.”

Despite this, he remains convinced that memcoins linked to celebrities have the potential to garner publicity and spark buzz within the investment community.

Ethereum vs. Solana memes

Based on a recent article from CoinGecko, the Solana network now hosts more celebrity meme tokens than Ethereum.

Despite the rising trend of Solana-based meme coins, a recent analysis conducted by the trusted Web3 platform, Trust, revealed,

As a researcher studying the meme coin market, I’ve noticed an uptick in activity on Solana lately. However, it’s important to acknowledge Ethereum’s historical significance in this space. Ethereum was the initial battleground for many pioneering and influential meme tokens. Their emergence set the stage for the meme coin phenomenon as we know it today, making Ethereum a major player in this dynamic market.

As a researcher investigating the comparative social influence of Ethereum and Solana, I found that Ethereum’s social dominance was more prominent based on Santiment data analyzed by AMBCrypto.

As an analyst, I’ve observed a notable surge in the memecoin market. However, upon closer inspection, it seems that the majority of coins in this sector lack intrinsic worth. Instead, their prices are largely influenced by inter-coin competition and speculative trading activities.

Sharing a similar line of thought, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin best put it when he said, 

“I’ve been rather displeased with ‘this cycle’s trend of celebrities trying new things’. I understand the concept of using finance to achieve a goal, but only if that goal holds significant value to me (such as healthcare, open source software, or art).”
