Bitget recently participated in MEMECON, a prominent event at NFC 2024. The event was held at Pavilhão Carlos Lopes in Lisbon from May 28 to 30. It focused on meme coins and meme NFTs, bringing together individuals and experts for a comprehensive experience that included a conference, expo, stage presentations, and a hackathon.
As the world’s first meme-themed conference, MEMECON Lisbon attracted over 5,000 participants. It offered a vibrant mix of keynotes, panel discussions, interactive exhibits, and a hackathon dedicated to the burgeoning fields of meme coins and meme NFTs.
Bitget’s Chief Operating Officer, Vugar Usi Zade, was a standout speaker at the event. He delivered the talk “2069: Catch the Next Meme!” His presentation explored the future landscape of cryptocurrency exchanges and strategies for identifying the next big meme coin.
“The Mona Lisa can also be considered a meme of the old days!” Zade quipped, highlighting the historical roots of meme culture and its evolution into a financial phenomenon. He emphasized Bitget’s commitment to supporting the community by listing promising tokens safely and promptly on their platform.
Bitget’s engagement at MEMECON underscores its dedication to fostering innovation within the crypto ecosystem. The event brought together industry luminaries such as Crypto Banter, Mario Nawfal, and HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu, alongside emerging projects like BURRRD and GMEonSol.
Bitget sponsored the event’s hackathon, challenging developers to create pioneering solutions in the meme coin space. Participants vied for prizes and the opportunity to have their projects listed on the Bitget exchange.
Moreover, Bitget hosted a trading competition, offering winners a trip to Lisbon and a chance to elevate their meme coin projects. This initiative aligns with Bitget’s mission of enabling smarter trading and nurturing the next generation of crypto innovators.
To further celebrate the spirit of MEMECON, Bitget co-hosted an afterparty on May 29 with FOMO Bull Club, BGW, b0rder1ess, and Memecon Degens. This cocktail event provided a relaxed atmosphere for attendees to network and toast the success of MEMECON Lisbon.
Bitget’s participation in MEMECON 2024 is more than a corporate engagement; it’s a testament to the transformative power of meme coins. Despite their whimsical origins, meme coins like Dogecoin have demonstrated substantial financial impact, with Dogecoin’s market capitalization reaching over $88 billion during the 2021 bull run. These assets are an entry point for many new investors, promoting broader adoption and diversity in the crypto market.
