Recently, while researching MEME coins, I came across an interesting project called Air Coin, which has a quite special story behind it.

It all started when a KOL was hospitalized due to air quality issues. Later, they developed an AI mini-program that can monitor smog levels in real-time and remind users to travel healthily. Inspired by this idea, someone in the community directly minted a coin with the same name to pay tribute — and thus, Air Coin was born.

Honestly, this name is quite easy to remember at first glance, haha. It’s a pretty interesting story for a MEME coin.

This also made me curious: with the Chinese MEME coin scene so active lately, and so many coins themed around life, what will be the next big MEME hit? We’ve seen things like Life K-line and I’m Coming, and coins with real-world backgrounds like Air Coin seem to stand out a bit more. It feels like the crypto community’s creativity is quite wild — as long as a story can be told, any theme can be tokenized.

The story is well-packaged, but this name is truly a double-edged sword... Is the smog detection AI a real thing or just hype based on the name? It depends on the subsequent implementation.

Haha, this name is absolutely perfect. The air coin directly hits the funny bone, and the story is very down-to-earth, much better than those brainless MEMEs.

Haha, the name "air coin" is absolutely brilliant. I never thought it could be played like this. Wait, isn't this really a satire of the air project? The name is too easy to trigger a warning. The story sounds good, but who guarantees that someone is actually using that smog app? That's how the crypto world is—anything can be turned into a story and monetized. Maybe next year we should see a "Power Outage Coin." The next trend? Just go with a "I Went to Hospital Coin," since everyone can resonate with that. I remember the air coin, but I'm not sure if it's because of the story or because the name is too provocative. Creative wildness is wild, but it feels like it's all about exploiting reality, which is a bit subtle. Just because of this story, I have to check it out, even though I might get scammed. Really, anything can be meme-ified. People in the crypto world really dare to think of everything.

Haha, the name "air coin" is indeed clever, but I think it still needs to have some real background to last longer. Memes with strong storytelling can sustain popularity; otherwise, it's just pure hype. Next big hit? I bet on Lung Coin or Traffic Jam Coin... This wave of creativity really hits the ceiling; tokenizing everything is truly crazy. Air coins empowered by AI, I think they're promising, definitely better than those with nothing. Honestly, the more outrageous the story, the easier it spreads; the crypto community loves this kind of thing.

Haha, the name "air coin" is truly brilliant. Just hearing it makes you think of the suffocating feeling of smoggy days. A marketing genius in the crypto world.

Ha, this name is really clever, I can't forget it once I hear it. Honestly, MEME coins with a story background are the most interesting; I really can't stand those that just ride the hype. Will the next be something like "Smog Clearing Lung Coin," directly extending the logic of air coins? The people in the crypto world really have no bottom line when they go crazy, but I genuinely enjoy watching these creative sparks fly.
