Real memes evolve. /biz/ is the perfect Darwinian environment where memes are selected and forged through the emotion of being invested in the extremely volatile crypto market.

Now that the market's bottomed out we are having shit like NPC and fresco artificially propped up and forced. It's a sign that the bottom is in. These shit memes will fail and a new market/meme boom will come.

Kind of this
The thing is, this board has a lot of crossposters, so if one guy makes something really funny that becomes a meme, and he posts it on a huge board like /pol/, but also posts it here, it has a better chance of spreading because this is such a small board, and each anon who saves it will post it on whatever other boards they browse.
