Murad Mahmudov on Crypto's Future: Why Bitcoin and Meme Coin Cults Will Dominate

In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, where trends come and go faster than you can say "to the moon," a recent tweet from analyst Murad Mahmudov has sparked a lively discussion. Murad, known for his sharp insights on X (formerly Twitter), pointed out that key infrastructure like blockchains, stablecoins, exchanges, and bridges are heading toward "hypercommoditization." That means their profit margins are squeezing down to almost nothing as competition ramps up and everything becomes standardized.

But here's the kicker: Murad asks, what won't get commoditized? His answer? Assets that don't rely on profits to begin with. Specifically, he highlights "Monetary Goods" like Bitcoin (BTC) and what he calls "Cults" – those insanely dedicated communities that power certain projects.

For those new to crypto lingo, commoditization happens when products or services become so similar that price is the only differentiator. Think of it like generic brands in a supermarket; eventually, the unique selling points fade, and margins shrink. In crypto, this could mean that building yet another blockchain or stablecoin won't yield big bucks anymore because everyone's doing it.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, stands out as a "monetary good." It's often called digital gold because its value comes from scarcity, security, and global recognition as a store of value, not from generating profits like a company stock. No dividends here – just pure, decentralized money.

Now, the really fun part: those "cults" or insane communities. This is where meme coins shine. Meme tokens aren't built on fancy tech or revenue models; they're fueled by hype, humor, and hyper-loyal fans who turn them into cultural phenomena. Think Dogecoin or Shiba Inu in their heyday, but Murad's tweet has folks buzzing about newer ones like SPX6900, which replies to his post hail as the "most passionate community in Internet's history."

One reply from user @maddox00000 captures the vibe perfectly: "SPX6900 is the most passionate community in Internet's history. DCA, Onboard, Expand." DCA stands for Dollar-Cost Averaging, a strategy where you buy a fixed amount regularly to smooth out volatility – a sign of true believers sticking around for the long haul.

Other replies echo this sentiment. @Chairman_DN shouts "SALARY AND SPX CODED," likely nodding to meme coins like $SALARY and $SPX. @Y2K_DOTCOM chimes in with "(Cult)ure is what we’re reviving. Allow nostalgia to fuel the future," tying into $Y2K, a token evoking 2000s nostalgia.

Even @MLGsolana420 adds: "The gaming cult community will win forever," with images hyping $MLG, a gaming-themed meme.

These responses show how Murad's idea resonates in the meme coin space. Unlike traditional crypto projects chasing venture capital and utility, meme coins thrive on virality and community zeal. They're not about profits; they're about belonging to something bigger, often with a dash of absurdity.

Of course, not everyone's on board. @caspereux suggests checking out "unstable coin," a playful jab at stablecoins with The Great Unstabling, arguing that pegged assets trend to zero while unpegged ones have unlimited upside.

And @212MCGA ties it to $MCGA, linking it to real-world events like Crypto.com's partnership with Trump Media, showing how memes can intersect with politics and branding.

Murad's take aligns with what we're seeing at Meme Insider: the rise of community-driven assets in blockchain. As infrastructure gets commoditized, the real value shifts to what can't be copied – strong, cult-like followings. If you're a blockchain practitioner, this is a reminder to look beyond tech specs. Dive into communities, understand the memes, and maybe even join a cult (the fun kind).

Whether you're stacking BTC or riding the next meme wave like SPX6900, the future seems to favor the passionate over the profitable. What's your take? Head over to the original thread and join the conversation.
