This topic should have been clarified a long time ago.

Meme coins are at the forefront in terms of financial functionality and accessibility, but their names don't reflect that at all. When you mention meme coins, people think of jokes; in reality, these assets have already surpassed traditional trading varieties in terms of accessibility and innovation.

When you tell ordinary friends that you're trading meme coins, their first reaction is usually to warn about scams. This is largely because the name itself has been devalued, creating a significant perception gap. The disconnect between functionality and brand naming has caused good things to be overlooked.

To be honest, the name meme coin really shot itself in the foot. It’s full of innovation but is seen as a joke. This is a marketing failure. Even the best things are useless if they have the wrong name. The perception is way off; we need to find a way to change this perception. When I mention meme coin among friends, everyone thinks it’s a scam. It’s too disappointing. The functionality is so strong, but the name has ruined the whole game.

Haha, the issue with names is really something. I told my friends I play meme coins and was immediately seen as a scammer. Honestly, the features are not bad, but the naming is really terrible. The gap in understanding is huge. Just because of these two words, it was completely demonized. Such a loss.

The name meme coin is really a trap, its functionality is completely underestimated, and people even see it as a scam just by mentioning it. --- Honestly, the level of innovation of meme coins has long surpassed traditional assets by ten blocks, but it's the name that ruins everything. --- The cognitive gap is indeed outrageous; the coin's powerful features are overshadowed just because of its name. --- When I tell my family I play meme coins, my mom's expression is like that of a scammer's eyes; the name really needs to be changed. --- Brand misalignment is like digging your own grave; good innovations are completely buried by these three words. --- The accessibility and innovation capability of meme coins are insanely good, but this name has turned it into a hot potato. --- The name should have been taken seriously long ago; now every time I have to painstakingly explain that it's not an air coin. --- Despite outstanding functionality, a poor name is indeed a tragedy for the entire narrative. --- Sometimes I find it really ironic; the most technically advanced are the ones sentenced to death just because of their name.

The perception is unequal, a typical brand suicidal naming. The formation is complete, and the chip distribution shows that big players have already been absorbing, while retail investors are still joking around.
