In recent years, Meme coin names have become increasingly absurd—from using various physiological terms to borrowing from classic cultural symbols. The more outrageous, the easier it is to stand out. But don’t think this is just mindless entertainment; behind it lies a set of survival logic in the entire crypto market.
**The Thrill of Breaking Authority** "Financializing" traditional cultural symbols or everyday idioms is essentially a mockery of the serious face of traditional finance. Young investors use these provocative names to imply their disdain for existing rules—this rebellious attitude easily resonates within the community.
**Attention is Life** Imagine among thousands of Meme coins, how easily a serious-sounding name can be buried? Instead, those eye-catching, controversial names that can spark discussion almost effortlessly become social media hotspots. The name itself is the most powerful marketing tool.
**No Pretenses, We’re Just Gambling** This type of naming actually does one thing: tearing off the "technological application" facade and straightforwardly telling you, "This is an emotional game." Ironically, this absurd honesty attracts speculators who are tired of complex narratives and just want to double their money quickly.
**Self-Filtering Mechanism** A single name can automatically filter out the target audience—those who get the humor, don’t mind vulgarity, and are ready to party. This quickly forms consensus and accelerates action. This is the true face of the Meme coin community.

Alright, basically it's using a name to play psychological tricks and trap people.
The more outrageous it is, the more people fall for it. I get this logic.
A name is the most powerful marketing tool, much more effective than a white paper.
It's just gambling instinct, don't dress it up so fancy.
Anyway, it's the art of losing money happily.

There's nothing wrong with that. The more unique the name, the more profitable it is. This is the first lesson of meme coins.
I agree. Instead of pretending, it's better to just admit it's a gamble, and people will buy into it.
In the attention economy, outrageous naming itself is a traffic secret.
Haha, the self-selection mechanism from this perspective is interesting. It can indeed quickly gather like-minded people.
The name is marketing. Among thousands of coins, if there's no skill, how can it survive?
Suddenly realized that rebellious psychology can indeed stimulate the desire to buy. This logic is brilliant.
Breaking the sense of authority is worth studying; young people fall for this.
Rather than entertainment, it's more like a social game.
Honest absurdity is actually more attractive than refined lies. It's somewhat interesting.
To put it simply, it's game theory. The crazier the name, the better it can filter people.

Basically, it's playing with fire, but who made this game so addictive?
Honestly, instead of pretending to be cool, just admit it—it's more exciting.
This analysis made me laugh; it's definitely a survival trap.
Seeing those coin names getting crazier and crazier, I knew this circle was doomed, haha.
Honestly, absurdity is the most honest.
Zero-cost marketing, I die laughing—name recognition really is everything.
Bet if you want, since everything's out in the open, why hide?
Sounds like they're justifying the rug pull.
I have to say, this logic is really damn accurate.

Once again, I was liquidated, this time by the name of a Meme coin.
That's right, absurdity is the best risk control mechanism—it's easy to see who is here to gamble and who is here to develop technology.
The more outrageous the name, the higher the trading volume. I totally get this logic; I got burned here two months ago.
Anyway, it's all an emotional game. At least they are honest, unlike those scams disguised as Web3 revolutions.
When the lending rates soar and the liquidation prices jump around wildly, that's when you realize what true self-selection really means.

Honestly, this set of logic is a true reflection of Web3. Who still pretends?
The more outrageous the name, the more honest it is. I like it.
The funny thing is, everyone actually understands, they just don't want to admit it.
This analysis hits the nail on the head, haha.
Rebellious psychology + attention + gambling instinct, a perfect formula.
