After selling Nyan Cat as an NFT, its creator, Chris Torres, has found himself working on an even bigger event: a week-long series of auctions where classic memes are being sold on the blockchain by their original creators. Torres calls the event Memeconomy, and he’s hoping it’ll bring both recognition to the meme creators, as well as to the NFT space.
The memes involved should be recognizable if you were on the internet in the early 2010s. They include:
- Bad Luck Brian
- Coughing Cat
- Kitty Cat Dance
- Scumbag Steve
- The Keyboard and Grumpy cats
- The Me Gusta face
