Recently, I discussed an interesting topic with industry insiders: Will meme coins usher in a new wave of popularity? This conversation took place during a Sunday program, where I had an in-depth exchange with AlchemistTheOG about the market cycle of meme coins.

Our viewpoints clashed in a fascinating way. A core question is—when market conditions change, will retail investors' enthusiasm still drive the explosion of the meme coin sector? Historically, each meme coin frenzy has been accompanied by a surge in market sentiment. But will this time be different?

The discussion mentioned several key factors: market liquidity, retail participation, innovation in new projects, and overall risk appetite. If these conditions realign, it’s not impossible for the meme coin season to return. The key depends on the mindset of participants and the overall market temperature.

Retail investor enthusiasm? Buddy, who still has enthusiasm in this round? Everyone's been wiped out.

Retail investors are still the same group, their enthusiasm remains the same, it all depends on when the big players will give us some more soup to drink, haha.

Meme coins are just gambling, but I love to gamble --- Retail investor enthusiasm? Ha, whether this wave can rise depends entirely on Elon Musk's mood --- Liquidity, participation, innovation... after saying all that, it still comes down to luck --- Feels like this time is different, retail investors have been scared off and cut --- A new wave of enthusiasm? I hold the coins in hand, ready to sell at the top at any time --- Don't overcomplicate it, meme coins are all about who has the guts --- Market temperature? Just set your posture right and it's all good --- What does AlchemistTheOG think of me? I don't care, I just want to know what will rise 50 times next --- Conditions are just a joke, it all depends on when the funds come in --- If this wave rises, I’ll eat my hand; if it doesn’t, you buy me a drink

Retail investor enthusiasm... to put it simply, it depends on whether the coin price can regain its momentum; everything else is empty talk.

Really? Can meme coins still be pumped again? Looking at the market situation, retail investors must have been scared off already.
