      Not meme coins, but stable coins exist - which are tethered to a particular global currency (eg. USD), but their primary/sole purpose is to act as a way to lock in price trades (as actual transfers may not go through instantly and would therefore differ in value otherwise).

      Memecoins are meant to be unstable and bring no value. It’s sad that people get interested by them more than they get interested by Bitcoin, which is a lot more serious and stable

      Depends on what you mean with ‘currency’.

      E: Prob still is ‘no’ in all cases except ‘I keep a rare coin collection for speculation purposes’. Saw that the local places which used to accept bitcoin no longer do so.
