#8 The History of Memecoins Two engineers. Sunday afternoon. Two hours of work. Current market cap: $25 billion. From DOGE to SHIB to PEPE to WIF to whatever launched 4 minutes ago. The hat isn't even a good hat. The president of the United States launched a memecoin. That sentence is real. Read it again. It's still real. Soundtrack: Bark at the Bass. From The Chronicles of Cope Collection. A series of 10 short-form glitch art documentaries about the things we built, the things we broke, and the things we convinced ourselves were fine. From NFTs to AI hype to memecoins to rug pulls, Chronicles of Cope is an archive of collective chaos, told at 24 frames per second with scanlines and chromatic aberration. The cope is real. The art is generative. The vibes are immaculate. By AIporium.
