Activist Memecoins: Rent is Too Damn High

The RWA/Stablecoin stuff is great for our bags, but I fear we have strayed too much from our roots. The election of Ayatollah Zoran presents us with an opportunity to utilize decentralized human capital formation for the people.

This article is for @RonTuretzky, one of the many cracked devs at @OpacityNetwork.

Can Memecoins be Useful?

I have a unique perspective on memecoins because I first bought Dogecoin back in 2013 (I was 16). I remember the Reddit tip bot and all the excitement around using it for philanthropy. Let’s ask ourselves: Why did Doge have value?

I take a people-first approach to markets. The value of Doge can be measured by the neurological response those who engaged with that community had. As such, I would say the value in Doge was in the community around it.

Weaponizing Airdrop Psychology

What if we could channel airdrop farming energy into bringing more awareness to the housing crisis?

The plan would be:

1. Fair launch $RentIsTooDamnHigh arcade token (shout out @eddylazzarin)

2. Use @OpacityNetwork to let users prove their rent payments privately,

3. Airdrop tokens based on how much bad their rent is- the more you’re getting screwed, the more tokens you get!

4. Create a public dashboard showing real rent data across the city,

5. Use the community to advocate for housing reform,

6. Offer liquidity on DEXs so people can actually benefit from participating

The beauty of this idea is that it turns the frustration of high rent into both community organizing and potential profit. We’re literally tokenizing the housing crisis while building a movement to fix it.

Imagine thousands of NYC renters united by shared financial pain, armed with real data, and motivated by both activism and potential gains. That’s the kind of energy that could actually change policy.
