Memes will still exist for a long time because:
Memes are an important entry point for users.
They have strong virality, allowing for quicker consensus formation and spread.
Meme culture is a community consensus that carries cultural connotations.
However, the market value of memes will significantly decrease because:
Investors are becoming more mature, and everyone is more willing to put large amounts of money into stable investment products; one only needs to become rich once in life.
It is difficult for memes to produce similar strong consensus IPs like Dogecoin (Doge), Pepe the Frog (PEPE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB) again; nowadays, the PVP habit has deeply rooted itself in people's minds.
