People chasing meme coins come in waves. First, a hot topic skyrockets in popularity, trading volume explodes, and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Then what happens? Once the hype fades, no one pays attention anymore. Latecomer investors are left tightly trapped, only able to watch their positions shrink. This is the true picture of the meme coin market — the trend comes quickly, and it goes just as fast, leaving behind only those who react a beat too slow.

Damn it, it's the same old story. Those who got in early made a fortune, latecomers are just the little guys being harvested.

Honestly, this is just a leek harvesting machine, playing the same old tricks until they've worn out. Those who enter late really deserve it, lacking foresight. Meme coins? I stopped touching them long ago, they're too刺激 for my heart to handle. This wave has wiped out how many people's wallets again, as expected, the屁股决定脑袋 principle is true. Turning at the wind's turn is risky; those who react quickly get the gains, while the slow ones just eat dirt.

Really, those who chase the high are all cannon fodder. I've seen it many times.

Haha, you're so right. I'm just that slow-witted person who reacts a beat late.

Data shows that 98% of late entrants went bankrupt during the last meme coin craze. Ironically, people are still repeating the same story [cold laugh].

I've seen through this wave of meme coin scams; those chasing hot trends are just bagholders.

To be honest, chasing meme coins is gambling. I've seen too many people get trapped. Watching others make money every day makes you jealous. By the time you realize it, you're already the bag holder. Quick in and out is the way to go, but most people do the opposite. With this wave of meme coins, another batch of new retail investors will be wiped out.
