Full Story

Alright, it’s Friday.

Let’s keep things as fumb (fun n’ dumb) as possible…

So, the folks at 9GAG (the spiritual home of early internet memes) and their associated web3-focused venture studio ‘Memeland,‘ are throwing the first inaugural MemeDay celebration on, 6/9/24.

(With meetups at McDonalds’ in 10 cities worldwide).

Why?

To create the meme-focused version of Bitcoin’s annual Pizza Day, which celebrates the first time Bitcoin was used to buy real-world items — two pizzas for $30 worth of BTC (or $710M at today’s prices).

Is an annual MemeDay needed?

No. But it’s fun and dumb, and if there’s a:

• ‘Bean Throwing Day‘

• ‘Ask a Stupid Question Day‘

• and 'International Nose Picking Day'

Then we think its safe to say we all deserve a MemeDay celebration.
