Do you remember those days? Shiba, Pig, SafeMoon, HTMoon, Doge, Akita, Floki, BabyDoge… Each Meme coin holder was like they had been injected with adrenaline, and the community buzz was off the charts, with new stories every day. What was different about the Meme ecosystem back then? The atmosphere was just different — full of believers, full of fanaticism.

Looking at the current Meme coin market, how should I put it, the passion has cooled down. There are more projects, more stories, but that original, unfiltered craziness just can’t be recaptured. Maybe everyone has seen too many ups and downs, and enthusiasm has waned accordingly. Is the market more mature now, or has the golden age of Meme coins truly passed?

DOGE-2,19%

AKITA-1,04%

FLOKI-4,69%

Back then, we were really a bunch of fools. Now we've all become smart people, but our wallets have also shrunk.

Honestly, now playing meme coins are just for the leek harvesters, where is the innocence of those days? Once you dive into shib, your wallet becomes a stranger. This sentence is so true. Too many people have been cut, they've woken up. They can never go back to that reckless madness. NGL, now any new coin dares to claim it's the next doge, makes me want to laugh. Back then, faith was worth a few bucks, now it's all just tokenomics packaging, cut it out. Market maturity? I think it's people's hearts that have dispersed. Everyone is calculating yields, still playing with derivatives. I hate this kind of thing now, where media outlets constantly bash and call for trades every day, meme coin people are also starting to get refined. Maybe the golden years were just those two years, missing out is a forever regret. Now entering the market is all gambling.

Honestly, it was really different back then. Now it's all just scams and tricks. --- Golden age? Wake up, it's been dead and buried for a long time. --- It's just that there are too many people, with no faith left, only cutting losses. --- Back then, you could still make money. Now it's all about luck to survive. --- Nostalgia can't kill the crypto prices. They still need to fall if they are going to. --- It's funny, the more projects there are, the more garbage they become. --- The atmosphere has cooled down, and it's not without reason. Too many people got burned. --- Exactly, now even the stories can't be told coherently.
