In recent months, the overall performance of the cryptocurrency market has been stable, with both Bitcoin and altcoins in a state of fluctuation, showing no signs of breaking previous highs. However, against this market backdrop, meme coins have continued to wave the flag, causing this seemingly mild bear market to trigger a wealth effect and bring many surprises to the market.
In this market cycle, many notable meme coins have emerged, such as PEPE, Turbo, Dogwifhat, TRUMP, which gained popularity last year and continued into this year, as well as BOME, DEGEN, DOGS, and NEIOR (First Neiro On Ethereum), which have only recently gained traction. If you were an early or mid-stage investor in these leading meme coins, you would have likely made a substantial profit. Even some mid-tier meme coins can yield returns if you can spot them early and participate keenly.
However, once these meme coins reach a certain market capitalization, it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve high returns within the same meme coin. Therefore, we need to continuously seek new high-quality meme assets. In fact, the vast majority of on-chain ecosystems already have some promising meme projects, but there are still a few ecosystems that have yet to produce quality meme projects, or even lack meme projects altogether. Thus, these ecosystems will be our primary targets for scouting and seeking the next high-quality meme asset, with Scroll being a clear example.
Scroll: A Meme Haven and Fertile Ground
Scroll is a top-tier Ethereum ZK Layer2 ecosystem, excelling from technical, narrative, and financing perspectives. However, for the Scroll ecosystem, it has not seen any meme projects emerge during the past several meme seasons, maintaining a status of being a meme haven.
Combining our previous viewpoints, ecosystems that have yet to see meme projects often contain opportunities and deserve close attention and monitoring. Therefore, the Scroll ecosystem has currently become fertile ground for the development of the meme track.
In this context, Scroll's first meme project, $Baggor, is taking the lead and attracting widespread attention.
Can we have expectations for $Baggor?
In fact, meme tokens need to have certain meanings and memorable points. They either represent significant events (like People and AssangeDAO) or embody a certain culture or narrative (like Doge and Shiba). Such meme coins are more likely to capture investors' minds and stimulate their desire to participate.
First of all, aside from the meaning represented by $Baggor itself, its most memorable point is that it is the first meme project on the Scroll chain, which allows it to easily occupy users' minds. When Scroll and meme coins are mentioned, users will naturally think of $Baggor. This mental occupation will quickly attract a large number of users' attention and, with the support of the meme wealth effect, convert it into investment desire. Therefore, as the first meme project of the Scroll ecosystem, $Baggor is destined to be in the spotlight and has the potential to become a leader.
From the perspective of the Scroll chain, it entered the market relatively late and missed the previous meme waves. In this case, the Scroll ecosystem needs its own meme culture to enhance community cohesion and centripetal force. The emergence of $Baggor precisely fills the gap in meme culture within the Scroll ecosystem.
The Meme Cultural Core of $Baggor
$Baggor represents a "self-deprecating culture" that is easily accepted by users. Its name is derived from "beggar," symbolizing the electronic beggars of the Web3 era. This meme originated from Starknet, where the team added a sub-channel named "eBagoooor" in their official Discord channel, using a worm icon to imply that many users who farm airdrops are electronic beggars, which sparked dissatisfaction among community users.
As events unfolded, many users began to interact with Starknet and its team in a "polite inquiry" manner, and some even created various satirical memes to mock Starknet. Subsequently, Scroll's senior researcher Toghrul Maharramov argued with users over the airdrop issue, directly referring to the other party as "Bagger," and even used derogatory terms in his posts, putting the Scroll team back in the spotlight and making the term $Baggor popular again. Later, Scroll issued Gitcoin badges representing real identities, which were also met with skepticism from the community.
In fact, the popularity of the term $Baggor further reflects the project's helplessness in filtering real users during airdrops, while community users express dissatisfaction with the project's excessive witch-hunting and arrogant attitude.
Of course, the meme project $Baggor further extends this concept, representing a more positively connoted image of digital nomads, symbolizing flexibility and rebellion against fixed financial models, advocating for free migration and exploration in the new digital economy.
In the crypto world, digital nomads often find themselves at the end of the information chain and at the bottom of the wealth pyramid, lacking a sense of identity. As the most vulnerable group, they face oppression from large investors, whale players, VC investors, and even projects, making their situation difficult. Especially in a generally declining market, investors' situations become even more challenging, and the difficulty of obtaining returns increases further.
Therefore, the meme culture of $Baggor essentially represents a kind of awakening and rebellion, akin to the revolutionary sentiment of retail investors targeting Wall Street financial giants. It gathers the strength of digital nomads to counteract the entrenched financial power structure, preventing wealth from being concentrated in the hands of a few large holders or VC investors. This decentralized power structure reflects a new democratized financial culture, encouraging everyone to participate in decision-making and wealth distribution.
Based on this concept, $Baggor is creating a brand new digital community for digital nomads, hoping to rely on the Scroll ecosystem to stand together at the top of the crypto wealth pyramid in a fairer way. As a new wealth value orientation, $Baggor is calling on digital nomads in the financial sector to jointly promote a new round of attention, social, and wealth revolution, establishing a new financial order. In this system, everyone can earn income more fairly and collectively defend and amplify their wealth.
The equality movement triggered by $Baggor in the crypto world redefines the identity of "beggar," which carries negative connotations, endowing it with new cultural and spiritual significance, helping them transition from passive "marginalized individuals" to active "self-definers." This identity reconstruction not only changes personal self-perception but may also trigger broader social change.
$Baggor is Still on the Eve of Explosion
From the cultural attributes and spiritual core of the $Baggor project, it is expected to become the spiritual cultural totem of the meme system within the Scroll ecosystem, building a strong and cohesive community. Any user holding $Baggor will become an initiator, promoter, and beneficiary of this attention and wealth revolution.
$Baggor is likely to become the most authentic representative project of meme culture on the Scroll chain and will be sought after by various players on Scroll. The lack of meme culture in Scroll will provide fertile soil for the development of $Baggor. $Baggor itself has the potential to become a leader, which will be the result of a collective choice by the Scroll community, users, and $Baggor. Everyone hopes to achieve a "revival" of the meme culture in the Scroll ecosystem through $Baggor.
Thus, the Scroll community, early builders, and contributors are all motivated to invest significant resources into $Baggor, aiming to shape it into a phenomenal leading meme, allowing everyone to share in the delayed meme dividends on Scroll.
From this perspective, $Baggor is bound to explode.
From the perspective of wealth effects, meme tokens often bring unexpected returns to many investors; as long as one becomes a mid or early-stage investor, there is hope for writing myths of thousands or millions of times. $Baggor has just been launched and is being wildly circulated by some communities, and it is currently building momentum. The fact that it has not yet exploded presents a good early opportunity for investors; a singularity may arrive quickly, and we might be on the eve of an explosion.
It is worth mentioning that $Baggor has already burned 100% of its LP, with the burn record:

$Baggor contract address: 0x17a60bB4649A7Bb885d05c008D7118a5E513d895
Currently, its market capitalization is still low, making it a golden opportunity worth pursuing!
Additionally, as the earliest meme token in the Scroll ecosystem, $Baggor may provide airdrops to community users of quality projects within the Scroll ecosystem to facilitate early launches, so head projects in the Scroll ecosystem can consider laying low for a while.
