Meme coins have been one of the hottest trends in the crypto market in 2024. While most investors view meme coins as opportunities to make a profit, they can serve a much greater purpose. MIRA is an example.
The story of Siqi Chen, founder of Runway, serves as an example of how meme pieces can be used in the meaningful way they were designed for.
The MIRA token: a social advantage of Meme coins
In September 2024, Siqi Chen painfully shared the news that her 4-year-old daughter, Mira, had been diagnosed with a brain tumor. Mira suffered from a rare brain tumor known as craniopharyngioma. Although benign, the tumor was located in an extremely critical part of his brain.
However, after undergoing surgery, Mira’s health improved.
During her treatment, many well-wishers suggested raising funds for Mira. However, Siqi encouraged his supporters to make a donation to a fund for children’s brain tumors. What he didn’t expect was that user X, Waddles, would create a coin on Solana called MIRA to support the search efforts and send half of its supply.
“When I saw the story of Mira and her illness, I thought it would be great to purchase and send you some supplies in hopes of getting the Solana community to support a good cause this Christmas . I’m really happy it worked out like this, and I hope this money helps find a cure for both Mira and anyone else with her disease,” Waddles said. declared.
Siqi pledged not to keep any of the funds for himself, instead promising to donate 100% of profits to research. He decided to sell 1% of his holdings in MIRA daily, constantly updating his personal page with sales reports. Surprisingly, instead of the price of the token falling, it skyrocketed. Siqi was amazed to see how much the community supported the MIRA token, which caused the value of his holdings to soar. exceed 14 million dollars.
“Can anyone explain how this magic internet money works? I’m losing my mind”, Siqi exclaimed.
As this story spread on social media, GeckoTerminal data showed that MIRA’s market capitalization exceeded $80 million at the time of reporting, with trading volumes exceeding $100 million. The higher the price of MIRA rose, the more money Siqi could raise for brain tumor research. This was not only due to FOMO, but also the spirit of contributing to a cause that is meaningful to society.
“A friendly reminder that every dollar you take out of MIRA is a dollar you take out of rare disease research in children because I don’t keep a dime. Not a cent”, Siqi reiterated.
However, many fake tokens using images of Siqi Chen’s family have recently appeared on the web. Pump.fun Platform.
