The popularity of meme packs may cool down for a while.

It's not that the meme itself has died, but the platforms that carry it are starting to compete intensely. Apps like Pumpfun, Letsbonk, and Jupiter all want a piece of the pie, which ends up diluting the overall hype in the entire sector.

To put it simply, when everyone is playing the same meme in the same place, the freshness is exhausted. Market capacity is limited, and hot money is also limited. Once the number of participants reaches a certain critical point, the original narrative begins to collapse.

Pumpfun, as the main driver of this wave, has actually accelerated the decline of this cycle. This is a common phenomenon in the Web3 ecosystem—when a hit emerges, followers rush in, and eventually the ecosystem becomes saturated, causing the hype to cool down. The next narrative story might already be brewing.

Oh wow, this wave is indeed saturated. Pumpfun has killed itself. Wait, what's the next narrative going to be? I bet on some new thing in the Solana ecosystem. Playing with memes until they break is the real fun; there are too many platforms, everyone wants a piece. This is the common problem with Web3... popularity comes quickly and dies just as fast. It was obvious from the start; too many people jumping in on the bandwagon, and there's no saving it.

Honestly, this wave is really going to die out. Too many people riding the hype and ruining the meme. Pumpfun, this guy basically shot himself in the foot. Where is the new narrative? It feels like the next hot trend is still nowhere in sight. Hot money is really limited; everyone is pouring into the same track, and in the end, it's just mutual cutting. When will the market calm down and stop being so competitive every time? Waiting to see the next big hit emerge. There will definitely be similar cycles. Actually, I've seen this problem long ago, it's just that no one wants to admit it. Meme culture is inherently fragile and can't withstand the ravages of so many platforms.

Hey, isn't this the old Web3 trick? It happens every time. Pumpfun is already losing followers now, I knew it would turn out like this. Hot money is always chasing the next trend; I should have seen this coming. The saturation in this track is indeed intense, it's not interesting. Wait, the next broken narrative should be coming soon. It feels like everyone is waiting for the next wave... Honestly, I'm already tired of it. Let's try something new.

Yeah, I've been tired of it for a long time. Every platform is using the same old tricks and ruining them. Pumpfun, this wave really shot itself in the foot. Just waiting for the next narrative. Anyway, this cycle is doomed. Honestly, too many people jumping on the bandwagon actually messes up the rhythm. Awkward. This is the common problem in Web3. When one gets hot, everyone rushes in, then it all falls silent collectively. Exactly. When the hype is dispersed like this, no one can make money. Where's the next wave? Is someone secretly working on something new? The lifespan of a meme is limited. It will die sooner or later. Right now, it's just the acceleration of internal competition. In a few months, looking back at these projects, they probably won't have much noise anymore.
