Threadguy's Bold Prediction: The Rise of Crypto Streamers and Meme Token Influence

Threadguy's Bold Prediction: The Rise of Crypto Streamers and Meme Token Influence

In the fast-paced world of crypto, where fortunes can flip faster than a meme token's chart, one voice is making waves with a prediction that's got everyone talking. @notthreadguy, a part-time streamer building @counterpartytv and associated with @monad and @phantom, dropped a thread that's equal parts insight and hype. Starting from a quote about Hasan Piker's chat not cashing in on big days, Threadguy argues that crypto and finance streamers are on track to become the biggest names in content creation. Why? Because watching the right ones can actually make you money – a claim no other niche can truly match.

Let's break it down. Threadguy kicks off by highlighting how top crypto streamers help their audiences level up their trading game. He clarifies that not all streaming is golden – "streaming memescope and shit is trash generally," he says, referring to those chaotic sessions where folks chase every fleeting meme without strategy. But if you're tuning into new money KOLs (that's Key Opinion Leaders, for the uninitiated) who interview sharp minds and share real money-making tips, your wallet might just thank you.

He doubles down with a series of "i know what i hold" posts, a classic crypto mantra for diamond-handing your investments through volatility. Each one comes with a screenshot of massive streaming deals, poking fun at or perhaps aspiring to the kind of numbers mainstream streamers like Adin Ross, Kai Cenat, and IShowSpeed are pulling in.

These images underscore his point: streaming is big business, and crypto is about to supercharge it. Threadguy points out that nobody in crypto fully grasps how massive content and streaming can get in this space. "Internet money is new," he notes, and everyone wants a piece. He predicts that if Bitcoin hits even close to those sky-high targets (think $600k), crypto influencers like Ansem could outshine stars like LeBron James.

But here's where it ties into meme tokens – our bread and butter at Meme Insider. Threadguy mentions how younger, more entertaining creators (even the "memescope fortnite kids") will onboard masses to crypto. Meme tokens thrive on virality, community, and hype, often amplified through live streams where traders share calls, pump narratives, and build cults around coins. Imagine streamers day-trading meme tokens live, printing millions while their viewers ape in. It's not just entertainment; it's a direct pipeline to potential gains (or losses – always DYOR, folks).

He attributes the delay in this boom to crypto's old guard being "old boring anonymous" types who shun the camera. Now, with better infra (think faster blockchains like Monad) and a new wave of face-forward creators, the stars are aligning. Threadguy wraps with a poetic nod: born too early for flying cars, too late for dinosaurs, but just in time to watch him stream.

For meme token enthusiasts, this thread is a wake-up call. As streaming merges with finance, meme projects could see unprecedented exposure. Position yourself – whether by creating content, joining communities, or spotting the next big streamer-backed token. Check out the original thread for the full vibe, and stay tuned to Meme Insider for more on how these trends shape the blockchain landscape.
