Recently, I've seen a lot of Meme coin promotions. To be honest, I find it hard to understand the current aesthetic. Compared to previous projects with cultural memes and community consensus, the narrative logic of this wave of Meme coins is really lacking.

In the past, $Doge could become popular because it had a story, community recognition, and long-term value support. Looking at the current Meme sector—innovating just for the sake of innovation, being flashy just to stand out—truly meaningful projects are becoming increasingly rare. Projects that are purely riding the trend and speculating have flooded the market, lowering the overall aesthetic standard.

To put it simply, under such an eco-friendly environment, it’s really difficult for a second Meme coin project with appeal and vitality to emerge. For a Meme coin to survive long-term, it needs to have something substantial.

DOGE-2,17%

MEME-4,12%

I've been tired of it for a long time, selling a bunch of copied and pasted stuff as treasures.

Basically, it's all overplayed now; it doesn't have the same magic as Doge anymore.

I'm already tired of it. Current meme coins are just a collection of IQ taxes.

Really, now any random coin can be labeled as a meme, it's boring. Doge back then was truly different, but now these projects are just marketing for harvesting retail investors. Meme coins that can survive are no longer meme coins. Aesthetic standards have truly collapsed. Can they survive just by storytelling for a few years? Let's wait and see the next reliable project; it might take a long time.

Missing the spirit of the old generation of meme coins, it has really become different now.

From the supply and demand curve perspective, this batch of meme coins is a typical "bubble period artwork," but the problem is that the bubble hasn't even inflated and it has burst directly. Back in the Doge era, there was still community consensus supporting it. Now? It’s purely born for the floor price. Honestly, the storytelling ability of this batch of meme coins is really lacking, fully demonstrating the bear market philosophy. Everyone wants to be the next Doge, but in the end, they all become fast-moving consumer goods, which is really difficult. Market aesthetics, once it slides down, can't be recovered. This is how the current ecosystem is.
