NFTs Seen As Superior To Meme Coins For Community Building, Says Pudgy Penguins CEO

According to PANews, Pudgy Penguins CEO Luca Netz stated at the Solana Breakpoint conference in Singapore on Friday that despite the prevalence of meme coin culture, NFTs remain the best method for creating communities. Netz emphasized that meme coins do not allow for easy identification of like-minded individuals online, whereas NFTs can foster this connection. He added that NFTs also create a symbolic significance that meme coins cannot replicate. Netz highlighted the unique tiered structure of NFTs, which differentiates them by price and purchase period, symbolizing power and status within the community. He acknowledged ongoing discussions about the downturn in the NFT market, with various indicators supporting this conclusion. Netz explained that the current slump in NFTs is due to poor liquidity for successful NFTs among whales and prices exceeding retail levels. However, he expressed optimism about the cyclical nature of cryptocurrencies, suggesting that the infrastructure built during the last cycle will enable NFTs to grow larger and perform better in the next cycle.
