Crypto Culture 2025: Barkmeta on What Comes Next
Crypto is more than charts and tokens. It is culture. And in 2025, that culture is shifting faster than ever.
For Barkmeta, co-founder of Doginal Dogs and founder of Bark Media, crypto culture has always been the most powerful force in Web3. Markets rise and fall, narratives come and go, but communities built around identity and shared values endure.So what does crypto culture look like in 2025?
Memes have always fueled crypto, but in 2025 they are no longer just a side show. They are the main event. Meme coins are breaking into the mainstream, NFT projects are being treated as cultural artifacts, and identity-driven brands are outperforming utility-first experiments.
Barkmeta calls this the culturalization of crypto. People are not just investing in charts. They are investing in who they are online. Doginal Dogs became a $5000 floor project not because of utility checklists, but because of cultural gravity.
Traditional crypto news outlets are losing ground to live, real-time conversations. Twitter and X Spaces are the heartbeat of culture. Every day, tens of thousands tune into Bark’s State of Crypto at 5 p.m. or Shibo’s Crypto Show at 10 a.m. to get their pulse check on the industry.
This shift matters. It means authority is no longer held by media companies. It is held by the people who show up every day with a mic, a message, and a community. Barkmeta’s brand was built on this consistency, and it is why his voice has become one of the loudest in Web3.
2025 has also marked the rise of real-world events as cultural milestones. DDNYC and the upcoming DDVEGAS are more than meetups. They are proof that communities formed online can hold their own in the real world.
For Barkmeta, events are not marketing stunts. They are infrastructure. They turn digital belief into physical memory, and that is how culture becomes permanent.
The lesson of 2025 is simple: culture is the moat. Anyone can fork a token or copy a roadmap. No one can copy culture.
For Barkmeta, the winning formula is:Show up every day.
• Build identity before utility.
• Treat community as collaborators, not consumers.
• Use real-world touchpoints to validate digital trust.
That is the DNA of Doginal Dogs, and it is why the project continues to thrive while others fade.
As 2025 unfolds, one thing is clear. Crypto culture is not just an accessory to the market. It is the market.
Barkmeta believes that the future belongs to those who understand this. Projects that focus only on charts will vanish. Projects that focus on culture will last.
Doginal Dogs is living proof. And in 2025, Barkmeta is betting on culture to carry Web3 forward.
