Why has MEME coin become the mainstream in the market, "occupying the nest of the magpie"? What will happen to the MEME market and Crypto? There are three points to consider: ┈┈➤ Advantages of MEME itself: Equal market recognition Most retail investors do not understand the technology, making it difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake tech coins. In contrast, with MEME coins, everyone can more easily start from the same starting line. It doesn't matter if you have a PhD in economics, are a computer science academician, or whatever; everyone’s understanding is equal. Previously, Brother Bee had a controversial discussion stating that the rise of MEME coins is partly due to the lack of education among most people in the market, which was said half-jokingly, but it is indeed one of the reasons. ┈┈➤ VC coins are disappointing: Selling pressure Previously, @tmel0211, Teacher Haotian, also published an article: It is understandable for exchanges to charge listing fees; on one hand, exchanges have operational costs to cover, and on the other hand, they need this as a threshold to assess projects. However, the listing fees for projects + initial airdrops + operational costs + appropriate or inappropriate profits have created significant selling pressure for VC coins in the early stages. Subsequent unlocks will also bring additional selling pressure. As a consensus forms around bearish views on VC coins, the motivation for project teams to act becomes very weak. This leads to a downward cycle of increasing bearish sentiment. It’s not entirely that MEME coins are seizing the market from VC coins. Most VC coins themselves are also disappointing! ┈┈➤ The entry of IQ 150 If MEME has broken the barrier between IQ 50 and IQ 100, then the entry of IQ 150 can be said to have pushed MEME further into the mainstream. IQ 150 first recognizes the popularity of the MEME market, and secondly, they can analyze market trends through on-chain data tools, allowing them to earn more from MEME. ┈┈➤ Is the big trend of MEME everlasting? Note, I am not saying that a specific MEME coin is everlasting, but is the big trend of the MEME market everlasting? Regardless of IQ, most people actually understand that the vast majority of individual MEME coins cannot last long, so they know to profit by exiting early. Thus, we can see that each wave of MEME coin themes, and even the entire MEME market, has shorter cycles and smaller increases. Brother Bee had an article a few days ago that analyzed MEME coins and reached this conclusion. When the themes of MEME coins shift from dogs to small animals, AI, politics, science, Chinese... it is evident that the narrative and dissemination are becoming increasingly niche. Early DOGE could even break out and let non-crypto people understand and invest. Small animals and politics are gradually limited to crypto players. When it comes to Chinese MEMEs, the audience is even smaller. Not to mention teaching foreigners Chinese, the distinction between simplified and traditional MEMEs means that by the time foreigners catch on, the price has already dropped... The narrative and dissemination of MEMEs are clearly becoming more niche... Cycles are getting shorter, increases are getting smaller, and audiences are getting narrower... all of these indicate that the big trend of MEME coins is weakening. The MEME market will eventually return to calm. Of course, this does not mean that there will be no more MEME coins; after all, good MEME symbols can still become popular. However, gradually, there will no longer be an environment where you can casually name a coin and have it explode in popularity. ┈┈➤ Are MEME coins poisoning the market? Teacher Haotian's article expresses the viewpoint that MEME coins have a negative impact on the crypto ecosystem. Brother Bee certainly agrees. However, Brother Bee has a more optimistic perspective. First of all, there are indeed many, if not most, projects in this market that fork existing technologies and replicate them across various chains, and some chains themselves have no technological innovation. Various projects with minimal or no substantive innovation are merely imitations. The narrative behind these projects is simply to issue coins. Because buying coins incurs costs, but the cost of issuing coins is extremely low. Therefore, the speculative nature of this industry is not created by MEME coins; it is a result of human nature itself. Technology merely becomes a tool of human nature. Technology is a tool, and MEME is also a tool. However, when technology is used as a tool, it is a conspiracy. When MEME is used as a tool, it is a strategy. The role of MEME in this industry is to push a fundamentally sick industry to the brink of collapse. However, when an industry is on the verge of collapse, the core stakeholders of that industry—exchanges, institutions, VCs, etc.—as various organs of this industry, the brain and heart may find ways to use medicine to treat it. Ordinary users, as cells, will eventually realize this. In the last round, cells recognized the VC coin virus and developed antibodies; in this round, they may also develop antibodies against the MEME virus. Only in this way can the life form of Crypto regain its health. No pain, no gain. MEME coins have accelerated the process of "breaking." This is also a necessary stage in the process of "no pain, no gain." When VC coins are no longer viable, and MEME is gradually seen through, this industry may become more vibrant. Crypto from 2010 to 2013 was an infant, From 2014 to 2017, it was a child, From 2018 to 2021, it was a teenager, From 2022 to 2025, it is the rebellious phase of adolescence, I believe we will eventually welcome a mature Crypto.
