Meme tokens and ecosystem platform tokens are essentially playing two completely different games. The former relies on trending topics and explosive community engagement, while the latter depends on real-world application and user retention—simply put, one is event-driven, and the other is supported by fundamentals.

From my own tracking over the past year, there are very few cases of new concept coins truly breaking through, with a success rate of less than 15%. Most of them are short-lived and then disappear without a trace. The problem isn't how beautifully the concept is packaged; the core issue is whether they can sustain trading activity and market attention. Once liquidity dries up, no story can save them.

Investors are prone to the misconception of trusting their expectations too easily. But the market will never change course for anyone's beliefs. Projects that last a long time are often not the ones with the most explosive concepts, but those supported by investors who know when to step back and can decisively cut losses when they make a wrong judgment. Ultimately, surviving is more important than making money.

Liquidity collapse means disaster, this point hits too close to home --- 15% success rate... I believe it, most are just fleeting trash --- The real skill is in the ability to cut losses, but unfortunately most people are just greedy --- To put it nicely, it's faith; to be blunt, it's just gambling psychology at work --- Living > making money, this sentence is worth all the leek growers repeating three times --- No matter how much the concept is hyped up, fundamental analysis is the only true principle --- I just want to ask if anyone has really turned things around with meme coins? --- Continuous trading enthusiasm? Ha, isn't this just a game of hot potato --- Project teams have all run away, no matter how good the story is, it's useless --- Investors' expectations vs. market reality, the latter always wins

Liquidity gap is a wake-up call; I've seen too many concept coins die this way. --- You're not wrong; a 15% success rate is probably an overestimate haha. --- The ability to cut losses is truly more important than choosing coins; I've reflected on this. --- Meme coins are just for mood gambling; ecosystem coins are the real investment. These two can't be compared. --- The market won't change course for faith; this should be engraved in every crypto enthusiast's mind. --- Having the courage to step back is more valuable than the courage to jump in. --- Seeing someone go all-in on new concept coins again, I feel sorry for their principal. --- Liquidity is king; without it, everything else is pointless. --- Being alive is truly more important than making money; this is great wisdom. --- No matter how beautiful the concept packaging, it can't save projects with poor fundamentals. This truth should have been understood long ago.

Really, a 15% success rate sounds high; I feel the actual rate is even lower. But to be fair, the most outrageous are those who keep betting on the next concept, completely unaware of stop-loss strategies.

The sentence about liquidity gap really hit home; I've seen too many story kings turn into zeroes. --- 15% success rate? I think it needs to be cut in half again. --- Exactly, stop-loss is a hundred times harder than bottom-fishing. Most people die because they refuse to admit defeat. --- Meme coins are just gambling on human nature; ecosystem coins are real gold and silver, two different things. --- Another bunch of self-absorbed expectations. The market doesn't care what you believe. --- Living is indeed more important than making money, but by the time you say that, you've often already lost a lot. --- The courage to step back is more valuable than boldness. --- It seems like a packaging issue, but actually it's because there are no real users supporting the market.

Liquidity gaps are the real killer; no matter how good the story is, it won't help.

Bro, your words really hit me. I'm just the cannon fodder outside that 15%, haha.

It's the same old story... Liquidity gaps are indeed a poison, but I've seen projects survive three years relying solely on faith. How do you explain that?
