My honest thoughts on Meme coins: I’m not opposed to this type of asset, and meme culture itself is quite interesting. However, to be frank—if you plan to follow the trend blindly and jump on every new meme, the most likely outcome is loss.

Reiterating this point on January 13: every day, there are people in the market launching coins based on some random tweet. Keeping up with each one is impossible, and the risks are extremely high. Trading Meme coins requires a clear understanding of the risks. Blind FOMO into the market, hoping to get rich quickly, usually results in only one thing—being exploited.

This is not against the Meme coin ecosystem itself, but rather a call for traders to approach it rationally.

Really, new coins appear every day, and you can't keep up. In the end, you're still getting cut. That's right, FOMO is poison. Memecoin itself isn't a problem; the issue is that too many people are brainwashed. Throwing money at every new coin will eventually cost you tuition. This is the kind of voice Web3 should have—be more rational, everyone.

Honestly, every day I see new coins launching and I just want to laugh. Nine out of ten are just here to cut leeks. You need to adjust your mindset; chasing hot trends is less effective than looking at fundamentals. FOMO is truly the root of losing money. Meme coins have their own ways to play, but you gotta have your IQ online. My friend has all his funds in meme coins and now he's broke. It's always the same routine; how come people still rush in? That's why I only choose top-tier coins; the risk is much lower. It may seem rational, but it's just an illusion. A sudden surge makes you get carried away immediately. After making a few profits, you think you're a master—really daring. But on the other hand, some people do get rich quick with meme coins; it's just good luck.

Stay alert, don’t always jump in out of FOMO. Most of these are just stories of getting chopped. Every day new coins, who can keep up? In the end, it’s just getting sliced. The meme coins themselves aren’t a problem, the issue is players’ brains going numb. It’s that same dream of getting rich quick, a classic scam. We’ve all seen the outcome of blindly following the trend, there’s nothing new. What’s truly scarce is risk awareness. A single tweet to launch a coin? Laughable, that’s just a tactic to chop the leeks. The real money isn’t made by those who follow the crowd.

Really, it's the rhythm of getting chopped for ten new coins a day. Trend followers are basically electronic Arubas. Crypto memes are fun, but the wallet can't handle it. FOMO really can drain you completely. New coins every day, can't keep up but still insist on chasing, so foolish.
