#策略性加码BTC The logic behind MEME coins is actually very simple—it's driven by consensus, and consensus is wealth.

$SHIB, $PEPE, and similar tokens are popular not because of technological breakthroughs, but because enough people believe in them. Ordinary people participate, discuss, and hold, gradually weaving wave after wave. This is not a joke; it's a market phenomenon.

Behind every surge, there is an expanding consensus—from small groups of believers to an increasing number of participants. It is this aggregation of collective cognition that creates real value flow.

Rather than obsessing over fundamentals, it's better to understand the core of MEME coins: they are about popularity economics. Whoever can seize the trend and follow the consensus will be able to benefit from it.

Consensus is wealth, there's nothing wrong with that... but I always feel like it's just a game of hot potato? No matter how you put it, MEME coins are just gambling on human greed. The last person to take the bait will end up with bad luck.

Basically, it's a game of chance—who gets in first makes money. I really didn't buy the dip when PEPE surged this time; I'm kicking myself. The idea that consensus is valuable isn't wrong, but the tricky part is how to judge when the consensus will break—that's the real challenge.

Basically, it's about gambling on human nature. The more consensus there is, the more retail investors (leeks) there are.

Basically, it's a game of pass the flower, the key is who doesn't have the flower in their hand. Consensus sounds sophisticated, but it's actually an upgraded version of a fool's game. Whether MEME coins are hot or not doesn't really depend on technology, it all comes down to whether they can create momentum and fool the next batch of bagholders. Popularity economy? Uh... another way to say it is a Ponzi scheme, brother. Those who bought in the morning are laughing, those who bought in the evening are crying, and the story is that simple and brutal. If consensus can turn into money, then my current consensus should be valuable too, right? Why is my account still so miserable? Instead of studying the logic of MEME coins, it's better to study how not to lose money.

Basically, it's a confidence game. If the later participants can't keep up, they'll get caught holding the bag. As for MEME coins, no matter how nicely it's explained, it can't change the essence of cutting leeks. Consensus equals wealth? Then why are so many people still losing money? The logic doesn't quite hold up. Those who got in early indeed made money, but can this really be called investing... It's just gambling. Always the last to follow the trend, will PEPE still be popular next month? Popularity economics sounds sophisticated, but it's really just the house betting against retail investors.
