How Valuable Are Your Memories? (feat. RAC) | Internet Explorers Ep. 77

$ZORA is here, memecoins are changing, CT is mad—but what does it all mean?

This episode unpacks Zora's recent token launch, explores the burdens of governance, and dives deep into how "just-for-fun" tokens might be redefining crypto markets, if not the very concept of "value." Later, special guest RAC (André Allen Anjos) joins to discuss Memory Protocol, the ambitious new identity and data-sharing layer he's co-founded, which promises to revolutionize how we manage and monetize our digital identities—starting with the music industry.

This episode unpacks:

  • $ZORA token launch and market reactions
  • The difference between governance and memecoins
  • Brands taking their identities "public" through tokens
  • Exploring tokenized information markets with Politiswap
  • RAC's deep dive into Memory Protocol
  • Why data portability matters for creators and users
  • The intersection of identity, markets, and crypto incentives
  • How Fungi's AI bot optimizes DeFi yield
  • Launching apps and social dynamics onchain
