Memecoin market with a charitable purpose The recovery on October 8th has attracted attention, especially for MOODENG, which had fallen by more than 60% in the previous few days.
For the first time, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has expressed his appreciation for memecoin projects that have sent him tokens to donate to charities, including MOODENG.
“I really appreciate all the memecoins that donate a portion of their supply to charity. Everything sent to me will go to charity (thanks Moodeng! 10 billion from today will go to technologies to prevent airborne diseases).”
Buterin called for the development of useful memecoins, especially for charitable purposes, rather than just benefiting a small group of people. He also donated a significant amount of money from NEIRO in early August.
