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.

You say you love PEPE? Prove it with the hundred different variations of PEPE memecoins in your wallet. Someone doubts your love for cute dogs in woolen hats? Just share your Solana address and let them peek at your multiple $WIF buys.

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 my 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?
