Why $USELESS Could Be the Next Viral Memecoin

$USELESS flips the crypto hate narrative into fuel. From being called “useless” by critics like Bill Gates and Jamie Dimon, this memecoin turns mockery into virality. Backed by elite alpha groups, fast-growing holders, and strong price action, $USELESS could be the next $FARTCOIN or $PEPE-level breakout.

why i think USELESS coin is the next breakout memecoin

'Cryptocurrency is USELESS... Just a Scam' - Bill Gates

this thread is a deep-dive on why i’m incredibly bullish on USELESS coin and my thoughts on its potential

but first, let me tell you a story:

one of my more recent trades that i'm often praised for is my FARTCOIN trade

'bonk guy is a chad, he turned low six figures to $7.1 million+ on FARTCOIN in 2 months. let's call him fartcoin guy too!'

what many do not know is that i first had an opportunity to buy fartcoin at $250k market cap when someone pinged it in The Lab and suggested buying it because it was funny—a mockery of crypto itself!

but i faded it

several other Lab members tagged me again as it pumped from sub $1m to $20m market cap

but i faded them too because i just didn’t get it

Fartcoin was already trading over $100m market cap before i finally *got* it

i started waiting for a dip and didn’t get one, so i ended up FOMO-buying around $200k worth at a $200m market cap

i was hoping for a deeper pullback to accumulate more, but it never came

then it just straight on ripped to $2.7 billion market cap

this was before the post-Inauguration-induced market meltdown, which led to its price crashing 92% down to $200m

that’s when i sized into my famous FARTCOIN perps trade that i’m now known for

USELESS feels like i'm being given an opportunity to take that Fartcoin trade again

except this time, i *GET* it

and unlike the dozens of Fartcoin beta and derivatives out there today, USELESS is its own unique narrative!

a brand new narrative with the potential to hit insane FARTCOIN-like levels—all by capitalizing on what almost everyone outside the crypto bubble uses to describe crypto: USELESS

be it Bill Gates

(screenshot in intro)

Harvard professors

Wall Street titans like Jamie Dimon

or normies on Reddit

there’s overwhelming consensus among almost everyone outside the crypto bubble—from billionaires like Bill Gates to academics, celebrity finance figures like Jamie Dimon, and average Reddit anons — that crypto is USELESS

and that's exactly why USELESS has the potential to achieve true mainstream memecoin virality in a way similar to Fartcoin

because it proves their point—and forces them to talk about it and mock it

USELESS is the purest memecoin in the sense that it does not pretend to be a PoW, PoS, L1, L2, AI, RWA or anything coin

it literally just tells you it's a USELESS coin

and the higher it goes, the more likely it is that the people who hate crypto—from media to billionaires to Reddit posters—will amplify it by mocking it

'hey, did you see that USELESS coin? It had a market cap of $50 m last week and is now worth $100m. what a joke crypto is!'

'BREAKING: USELESS coin hits $100 million market cap!' 😂😂😂

you can't help but laugh so damn hard reading all of those headlines and side comments!

to make things more interesting:

i'm in about a dozen alpha groups in the trenches

elite groups that are extremely hard to get into—some with just a few dozen members

you can't pay to get into most: you get invited if you're deemed extremely good at degening and winning big in the trenches

and not once have i seen this much confluence across all of them about the potential of a single token  to achieve Fartcoin-like virality and success across all of these groups than i’ve seen with USELESS

the thesis is simple: all of crypto is USELESS

be it BTC, ETH, SOL, memecoins, AI agents... doesn't matter

literally everything is useless

or at least that is what everyone outside of crypto thinks

so what's more attractive to bid than a literal USELESS coin? 😅

key metrics aligning to make USELESS the next breakout memecoin

i’ve already highlighted the confluence in alpha groups, but there are several other key signals aligning for USELESS:

- strong OTC demand: people in multiple alpha groups are asking about size OTC buys
- on-chain holders: fastest holder growth of any memecoin launched on LetsBONKfun to date
- very healthy chart: held up while most of the trenches were getting nuked; continues to make higher lows = strong accumulation ongoing
- CEX FOMO kicking in: i’ve heard from multiple sources that top CEXs are watching closely. KuCoin listed organically (super rare). wouldn’t be surprised if others are silently accumulating
- key trenches and memecoin accounts already pushing it: respected voices publicly treating it as high-conviction

so, why THIS particular USELESS coin?

do you know my biggest regret this cycle?

missing the $PEPE trade

it was right there in my face... first around $2m market cap, then $10m, then $20m, then $100m

but i faded it each and every time for many reasons

prior to that a thousand 'PEPE' coins had been launched and none had traction

so why bid this particular pepe coin, right?

this one had something no other Pepe coin had prior to it: traction, mindshare, and sustained volume and price growth

it is the same with USELESS in my book

yes, several 'USELESS' coins might have been launched in the past

but this is the first one to have any real and sustained traction

and if the Pepe playbook is anything to go by, this looks like what will make that narrative stick and go mainstream!

to wrap this up

every time USELESS pumps:

- it mocks all the 'useful' utility coins faking innovation
- it mocks crypto as a whole
- it reinforces what crypto critics love to say: that everything here is useless
- it gives the anti-crypto crowd a new rallying point—and in doing so, gives the coin attention, which fuels it further

so take a second and think about this deeply:

what’s more bullish than normies talking about a coin called USELESS?

imagine checking your exchange and seeing USELESS as the top gainer, up 100% on the day

imagine hopping into your favorite crypto groups and seeing everyone talking about USELESS

imagine logging into X and seeing USELESS trending

does it grab your attention?

i bet it does
