It is evident not all cryptocurrencies can or should be taken seriously. In the case of Banano, while there are a lot of interesting aspects to it, it seems highly doubtful this particular currency will ever gain any real traction. Even so, now is a good time to look at what this project is all about, assuming the team is serious about this coin.

Banano is a Feeless Cryptocurrency

Although the “meme economy’ is considered to be a joke industry first and foremost, there is a legitimate value to it. As such,

Obtaining Banano can be done in many different ways. The most popular option is to generate a wallet through the project’s Discord platform, which allows everyone to participate in daily airdrops.

Whether or not Banano will succeed in a similar fashion remains to be seen. The meme industry can certainly benefit from having its own currency.

It is also quite interesting to note that Banano is issued as an airdrop to
