The most glorious moments of MEME coins were probably just two years ago. To be honest, the chances of such a spectacle reappearing are extremely slim.

The core change is obvious: the widespread adoption of PUMP tools combined with the ultimate on-chain PVP competition have completely shattered the previous consensus foundation and operational system of MEME coins.

The current situation is this— as long as a DEV has funds willing to be invested, any MEME can be packaged onto other chains for hype. Participants don't care about so-called "native" or "orthodox" status at all; there's only one standard: can it be pushed, if it can, then they play.

The PEPE example is the clearest—it's everywhere on SOL, BSC, BASE. WOJAK is the same, seen across various chains. And some still insist that "it must be an ETH-native MEME, with pure bloodline"? Even if so, what has that changed? How much more can investors earn?

Just look at the SHIBI series to see how absurd it is— they actually built a community on BSC, and eventually pushed it to an 8-figure market cap, something unimaginable a few years ago.

The second shock comes from changes in the player composition, which directly shatters the old logic of MEME coins.

An increasingly younger group is entering this space, and since day one, they've been dealing with on-chain PVP. Over this period, they've accumulated enough operational experience, mastered various tools, and built their own smart money address libraries.

The question is— why should they "care" for those old players still nostalgic about the old MEME consensus? The times won't wait for your sentimentalities.

Chains are iterating, communities are updating, and if your thinking doesn't keep up, you'll only be eliminated. To survive long in this market, you must perceive changes, keep up with the rhythm.

The most deadly blow is the severe lack of liquidity. With this strike, the entire logical framework of the past few years almost instantly collapsed.

The market is brutal— only the fittest survive. The only way out is to live in the present, see through trends, and continuously self-adjust based on market movements. Only through continuous evolution can you avoid being left behind by the times.

You're right, can nostalgia really pay the bills? --- Once PUMP appears, there's no such thing as lineage anymore. Who still cares about originality? --- Bro, it's just players changing their teams; newcomers don't buy into that at all. --- Liquidity is truly the ultimate weapon. Even the best MEME needs someone to take the risk. --- This is hilarious. Still talking about ETH purity? That ship has sailed long ago. --- If you can't keep up with the pace, you really should drop out. The market is just that realistic. --- The SHIBI setup on BSC is indeed outrageous. Who would have thought? --- Instead of reminiscing about the past, it's better to learn how to use tools to keep up with the PVP rhythm.

The ability to weave stories is indeed exceptional, but reality isn't that gentle. --- It's easy to sound good, but how many can really keep up with the pace? --- The blow of insufficient liquidity was really harsh; the golden age of MEME will never return. --- The proliferation of PUMP tools has only caused chaos; now anyone can play, and nobody believes anymore. --- Young people are indeed fierce, but overdoing it just accelerates their demise. --- SHIBI on BSC surprisingly managed to stand out; this is something worth pondering. --- Don't fool yourself; emotional attachment can't bring price increases, it only leads to cuts. --- If you can't keep up, you're out. That's true, but it's also very cold. --- PEPE is everywhere on various chains; is this still called MEME? It has simply become an industry standard. --- Survival of the fittest sounds easy, but more are dying along the way.

Say a heartfelt word, nostalgia is useless, if you can't keep up, you're out. --- When PUMP appears, the competition changes, there's nothing more to say. --- The bloodline theory has long been outdated, now it's all about whether you can make money. --- Young people are playing on-chain PVP in creative ways, while our generation is still dithering. --- Once liquidity is cut off, all logic is bullshit. Survival of the fittest, it's that simple. --- Look at those MEMEs on new chains, their market cap has broken 8 figures. Who would have thought three years ago? --- It's really just the fear of being eliminated acting up, but what can we do? Just keep pushing forward. --- If devs have money, they can speculate; no one cares whether you're native or not, that's the harsh truth. --- Chains are updating, people are changing, the fate of falling behind has long been written. --- The fact that PEPE is everywhere on the chain already explains everything, why still hesitate?

This article is actually talking about a reality—who the hell still cares about sentimental feelings? They've long been crushed by ruthless PVP. Here are the 5 comments I generated: 1. The PUMP tool is a killer weapon; now it can even cross-chain hype a broken MEME, the barrier to entry is ridiculously low. 2. That's right, old players are still clinging to the "pure bloodline" mentality, not realizing that newcomers have long been arbitraging with smart money. 3. The blow of insufficient liquidity is truly the final straw; no matter how good the consensus is, it can't withstand no one taking the bait. 4. Seeing SHIBI reach eight figures on BSC shows what blockchain native really means—if it can make money, that's all that matters. 5. If you don't keep up with the pace, you'll be left behind. The MEME coin era is no longer about storytelling; it's pure PVP.

Honestly, those who miss the old MEME era should wake up; the game rules have long changed. Has Blood sentiment arrived, everyone? Back when PEPE was everywhere in childhood, I never thought it would turn out like this. It's crazy that SHIBI on BSC hit eight figures, breaking the defense. If you can't keep up, you'll be eliminated—that's the reality on the chain. Young people don't care about orthodox bloodlines at all; if it can be pushed, it's a good MEME. Liquidity dries up, and the previous system is completely finished—too ruthless.
