Dogecoin is garbage: Alex McCurry of Solidity.io
Alex McCurry, founder and CEO of blockchain development firm Solidity.io has a strong opinion on Shiba-Inu-themed cryptocurrencies. McCurry believes DOGE, SHIB, BABYDOGE, FLOKI, ELON, among other meme coins are “garbage.”
The blockchain development firm founder’s opinion comes at a time when there is growing concern about the stability and reliability of meme coins in the crypto ecosystem. Experts have criticized meme coins for lacking real value and for being used for speculation and near-instant profits.
The criticism is not limited to McCurry. Steven Cooper, the CEO of Bigger Entertainment has spoken out against Shiba Inu and accused the project of being a pyramid scheme. Cooper argued that the project’s team lacks real achievements and Shiba Inu’s burn mechanism makes it a “pyramid scheme.”
