I came across this point this morning and didn't pay much attention at first. After thinking it over now, it actually makes some sense. The hype around Chinese Meme coins might really be reaching its peak.

From a market cycle perspective, these types of projects often have a lifecycle. In the early stages, consensus is strong and funds pour in, but once the heat starts to cool down, a rapid correction is likely. Many Meme coins are already showing signs of weakening trading activity, and the attention from big influencers is also declining.

Of course, this doesn't mean the Meme coin market will completely disappear; it's just that this cycle might be brewing a turning point. Some projects may be identified and continue to run, but most follow-the-trend projects are indeed hard to escape the pattern. The future may test the project's fundamentals and community ecosystem even more.

MEME-6,83%

Oh no, this wave of Meme coins is going to fail, I sensed it a long time ago Even the big influencers are no longer hyping it, the popularity is indeed dropping The problem is what to do with those projects with poor communities, just give up? Only projects with real value can survive, there's no doubt about that My few coins are all shrinking in value, it's frustrating

Huh, I should have gotten in earlier if I knew. --- Another top-guessing theory, let's look at the data first. --- I disagree, the real game is just beginning. --- Reasonable analysis, but don't forget the cyclical nature of memes; the next wave might be even crazier. --- That's why I'm now screening for genuine community projects. Trash coins indeed should be eliminated. --- The guys who jumped in probably have their mindset shattered now. --- No doubt, the cooling of popularity is true, but don't be too pessimistic. --- Spot on, I'm also observing now. If it feels like it's time to cut losses, then do so.

It's still early; this wave hasn't completely cooled down yet, don't rush to give up hope. Wait, you said those big V influencers' popularity is declining... Why don't I feel it? Maybe I'm just out of the loop. Meme coins won't die; it's just a new batch of retail investors replacing the old ones. To put it bluntly, people have been making these kinds of analyses every month, and what happened? Another hot trend emerges. The fundamentals and community ecosystem sound very professional, but the ones really making money are still the early adopters. One question: Are you trying to discourage people or hinting that certain projects are worth paying attention to?

Sigh, I sensed there was a problem a long time ago, and only now do I see that the analysis is truly eye-opening. You're right, this wave of memes definitely needs to cool down, and most of the retail investors have already been squeezed. Most of the follow-the-trend projects don't have much fundamentals to begin with; they're just riding the hype to blow bubbles. Probably only a few will survive, and the rest are destined to be just along for the ride.

It's true that the peak has been reached; someone should have said this earlier. There are still people taking the bait.
