The recent AI meme wave in the Solana ecosystem has been making quite a splash. The earlier wave of whale investors' actions opened up imagination for market capitalization, which is indeed interesting—just looking at these data points can give a sense of activity: Gas network 24h trading volume is 43M, Solana main chain 20M, and emerging tokens like CMEM can also reach 4M.

Honestly, I used to think that the chips held by retail investors were hard to control and easy to get trapped. But after observing these recent times, I realize that in the crypto market, storytelling always outweighs everything. As long as the story is well told and the hype keeps up, market participants will spontaneously form consensus and push promising projects upward together. This logic may seem simple, but it is actually the key to understanding this round of Solana's market trend. Good projects with hype will attract opportunities from the market.

Narrative is truth. I see through this round clearly. --- That 43M daily trading volume for Gas is really crazy, but it still depends on who is telling the story. --- Retail investors' chips are indeed easy to be harvested, but once the hype starts, it’s unstoppable. --- CMEM rising to 4M and being called a new emerging token? That story needs to be told even more convincingly. --- White whale whales lead the way, retail follow the trend—eternal market law of the crypto world. --- A good project without hype is dead; hype doesn’t necessarily mean a good project—that’s the charm of crypto. --- The Sol ecosystem’s recent hype can easily push prices higher, but those bottom-fishing should be mentally prepared. --- Narrative is everything. I’ve already seen through this game. --- That 43M trading volume sounds impressive, but what’s the actual proportion of leveraged funds?

White Whale Trading is truly amazing; it all depends on how far retail investors can follow. I've finally come to believe that storytelling is king, but it can also easily overwhelm the mind. That 43M trading volume for Gas feels like everyone is betting on who can tell the best story. CMEM only has 4M, but with this level of popularity, thanks to Solana's fast and cheap network, it would have collapsed long ago. Honestly, the current problem isn't a lack of opportunities, but how to identify which story can truly be told to completion.

White Whale moves the entire market to life, this wave of Solana narratives is really top-notch The market is a place for storytelling; when the story is hot, the hype rises Gas 43M is a bit crazy, CMEM is also surging, this rhythm is indeed different Retail investors are not that bad, they just need to ride the right wave Honestly, as long as the consensus is strong enough, everything can be pushed up; this is the secret to the market Once the hype is there, the opportunities are right in front of you; it depends on whether you dare to seize them
