Investor and crypto bull Dan Tapiero says that the rise of thousands of new memecoins in the digital asset space is laying the groundwork for traditional finance to adopt blockchain.
In a new discussion on the Crypto Banter YouTube channel, Tapiero, who heads several venture capital firms, says that memecoins are battle-testing blockchains like Solana (SOL), troubleshooting them for weaknesses before traditional finance (TradFi) institutions migrate their money in the future.
“I think that the ability of – this is mostly Solana – to manage the traffic, these are like rails, railroad tracks that are being put down. And I think that what Solana is showing is that a nearly infinite amount of activity can be run across these rails. So it’s like practicing. You’ve got hundreds and hundreds of trillions of dollars in the traditional world that gets moved around – SWIFT, between banks, all of that crap.
All of that money is not going to move into the blockchain space onto rails that have not been tested. So I like this idea that the memecoin transaction number which has exploded, it’s just practice for when it’s testing the rails. It’s like practice to show the old world like, ‘Hey, these rails really do work. You can run an infinite amount of stuff on them, there’s instantaneous settlement.’
Yes, memecoins are kind of fun and silly and whatever, and gamified, but the rails do work.”
Tapiero recently predicted that Ethereum will break the $8,000 mark next year.
