Recently, I looked at some industry analyses and discovered an interesting phenomenon—true MEME coins that can survive one or two complete cycles are never just air projects.

Taking DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE as examples, why have they persisted until now? After careful consideration, it all boils down to a few points. First is the endorsement issue. DOGE has continued attention from influential figures, SHIB has a certain level of recognition within the community, and PEPE has maintained popularity due to community enthusiasm. These are not appearances out of nowhere; they are genuine market feedback.

Secondly, it's about time. Projects that can survive a bear market usually have real community support and are not just flash-in-the-pan. Coins that disappear after three or five months essentially lack a solid consensus foundation. In contrast, those that survive have communities that keep building and discussing, which is the confidence to traverse cycles.

Another often overlooked point is the community's self-sustaining ability. Truly vibrant MEME coin communities are always driving themselves forward and improving themselves, rather than relying on a single source of promotion. The cultural accumulation of DOGE, the ecosystem expansion of SHIB, and the creative cultural continuity of PEPE are all results of active community contributions.

In essence, the coins that survive are fundamentally about time accumulation and genuine consensus. Both are hard to fake and hard to rush. So when evaluating projects, instead of focusing on short-term hype fluctuations, it's better to look at community activity and project sustainability.
