In this episode, Murad argues that the future of crypto lies in belief-driven, community-powered assets rather than short-term speculation or VC-backed utility tokens. He explains why meme coins like SPX6900 are not just speculative plays but cultural and spiritual movements that offer their holders meaning, identity, and potential financial upside.
