Looking back at the MEME coin wave in the crypto market, each surge has been accompanied by enormous wealth effects. In 2021, DOGE achieved a 400x increase; in 2022, SHIB reached a 260,000x growth; and in 2023, PEPE sparked a wave of ten-thousand-fold increases—these surges are closely related to social media buzz and attention from specific individuals.

The market's规律 (rules) are actually quite interesting. Each MEME coin boom doesn't appear out of nowhere but comes with emotional cycles and hot spot rotations. Currently, another wave of MEME coins is attracting market attention. The question is, has this opportunity truly "arrived again"?

From a rational perspective, missing each opportunity leaves regrets. But more importantly, understanding the logic of market operation—when emotions accumulate, when hot spots shift—is worth pondering. History repeats, but it is never exactly the same.

What is the current pulse of the market? How to identify genuine opportunities amid controversy? These questions deserve serious reflection from every participant. Market rotations are always ongoing; the key is whether you are prepared.

DOGE-3.23%

SHIB-1.97%

PEPE-7.61%

Let me take a look at this data... 260,000x sounds unbelievable, need to verify the actual increase This wave is again about MEME coins narrative, but it feels like the logic of the heat accumulation is different from the previous rounds Missing out ≠ opportunity, these two should be understood separately From an engineering perspective, without sufficient on-chain data support, don’t blindly follow the trend The key question is: is there any difference in the structure of people entering now compared to previous rounds History repeats itself but not exactly the same. This phrase sounds smooth but is also very dangerous An interesting discovery is that every time someone says "this time is different," and then... it’s all the same Emotion cycles can theoretically be predicted, but in practice, it’s like mysticism Rather than waiting for the "opportunity" to "reappear," it’s better to study when liquidity will start to dry up

260,000x Naba, if I had gotten in early, I would be financially free now. It's too late to regret now. MEME coin is just a gamble personality test. I admit I am the easily influenced type. Honestly, it's still about information gaps and luck. When big influencers shout, people follow suit. Getting caught is deserved. Has this wave really arrived? I always feel like the pattern is repeating. Missed PEPE and I'm still eating dirt. If another one comes along, I really can't help but want to jump in.

It's the same old story, every time they say history will repeat itself, and yet my wallet always ends up losing again and again. I missed the DOGE era, bought SHIB at a high price, and PEPE was even directly cut. Now another wave? Forget it, this time I choose to lie flat and observe. Basically, it's all about popularity and luck—who catches the wave wins. For someone like me with slow reaction speed, it's better not to get involved. Can MEME coins that rely on social media hype really multiply 260,000 times? Listen to what you're saying—how does probability theory calculate that? It feels like every time someone says they're ready, but the outcome is always the same. I really have been brainwashed.

Here comes another MEME coin story, and it sounds just like the real thing. DOGE, SHIB, PEPE...... Every time they say this time is different, but it’s still the same old story. Emotional cycles? Hype shifts? Nice words, but in reality, it’s just gambling. Get ready for what? The hammer has long been dropped, and it’s unpredictable now. History repeats itself but not exactly the same, so how do I know this time isn’t just another exit scam? Honestly, reading this article just feels like selling anxiety. Regret over missing out is less real than regret over being alive.

Here comes the hype about MEME coins skyrocketing again, sounds good but who actually made money? Every time they say the opportunity has arrived, but most people are still the bagholders. I've heard this emotional cycle theory countless times, but the key is how to pinpoint the exact moment. History repeats itself but not exactly the same, this phrase is basically saying "I don't know what will happen" haha. From DOGE to PEPE, from celebration to harvest, the chives take turns being cut, everyone. Getting ready? What I’m preparing for is to keep cutting losses this time.

Here comes the same old trick of cutting leeks again, claiming this time is different. Who can precisely hit the right timing? Anyway, I don't have that skill. It was a gamble during PEPE, and it's still a gamble now—nothing has changed. Emotional buildup? Hot trend shift? Sounds professional, but in reality, it's just about who has better luck. If you miss out, then just miss it. It's too late to regret when you're losing money.

ngl the correlation matrix on these meme coin surges is basically just sentiment analysis wrapped in tokenomics cosplay. people see 400x and forget about the other 10k coins that went to zero.
