Looking back, $DOGE in 2014, $SHIB in 2021, $PEPE in 2023—each time, someone said it was impossible, and the market proved them wrong with a harsh slap.
Interestingly, there is actually a certain pattern behind this.
When mainstream cryptocurrencies have ample liquidity and steady gains, capital begins to stir. It naturally flows toward those with the least resistance and the hottest market sentiment—usually Meme coins. The reason PEPE took off first, followed by animal-themed coins riding the wave, fundamentally follows this logic.
This is especially evident when altcoins can't be pushed higher. Large funds start looking for the next narrative, retail investors' emotions are ignited, and chips are gradually handed over to those willing to tell stories and go all in. History never gives you a heads-up; it only completes one round after another of wealth transfer while you're still hesitating.
The question now before us isn't so much "Will it rise?" but rather "How many more times will you miss out?"
But it must be made clear: Meme coins can create legends, but they can also create bubbles. They are highly concentrated, volatile, and carry enormous risks. Sober investors won't go all in or be driven by emotions. Instead, those who can control risks and stay rational are the ones most likely to survive until the end of this wave.

It's that set of rhetoric again... Anyone who has caught a wave once dares to talk about the law, and it will still be harvested next time

No, this time it's really different. I bet 5 ETH that this meme still has a chance.

It's the same old story, claiming there's a pattern every time, but who can accurately grasp it? No matter how eloquently it's explained, it can't change the fate of most people losing money.

Here we go again, every time saying to buy the dip in meme coins, but the bagholders are still the same group of people.
