#拜登之子发币LAPTOP引争议 A new Meme is coming to Base|Hunter Biden’s LAPTOP set to launch soon—can celebrity-themed Memes still work?



Base is welcoming another politically themed Meme coin packed with buzz. The Hunter Biden-themed token LAPTOP is scheduled to officially launch on Base on September 9. Inspired by the highly controversial “laptop incident,” it comes with extremely strong public attention.

Judging from the token rules, the project is a pure Meme with no roadmap and no practical utility, driven entirely by narrative and hype.
The token allocation design is noteworthy:
✅65% of the token supply will be locked until 2028, easing selling pressure to some extent;
✅20% of the tokens will be airdropped to TRUMP token holders, directly linking the two political Meme communities and seeking to attract existing Meme users.

Memes themed around political figures have already become an established play on Base. Leveraging narratives around real-world celebrity buzz, rapidly attracting traffic, and airdropping tokens to holders of older Memes to achieve a cold start—this model has been repeatedly validated.

But beneath the excitement, the risks are also highly prominent:

1. It has zero technology and zero product, with all its hype coming from social news. Attention rises quickly and fades just as quickly; once the news cycle passes, liquidity can easily dry up rapidly. Even if most tokens are locked, the remaining circulating supply can still experience extreme surges and plunges.
2. An airdrop is merely a user-acquisition tactic, not a guarantee for the project. A large proportion of TRUMP token holders who receive the airdrop may choose to sell immediately after launch, creating natural selling pressure.
3. Most celebrity-themed tokens are not officially issued by the figures involved, but are merely community-driven attempts to capitalize on hype, with no backing from any real entity.

In a bull market, the Meme sector is always producing new projects, and political themes are even more likely to ignite short-term sentiment. A short-term spike may occur, but the vast majority will ultimately fade into silence.

In Meme coin speculation, losing your principal is the norm, so avoid taking oversized positions. Political-themed Memes rely on real-world topics to generate hype, and volatility at launch can be extremely violent.

⚠️No official backing from any real entity, making this a high-risk speculation; once the hype fades, liquidity can easily fall to zero. Do not take oversized positions.
