I think only memes that interest outsiders have a future.
Currently, there is only one labubu, and I'm glad to see that it has remained relatively strong; once it collapses, it's gone. Many people haven't researched labubu's popularity in Pop Mart and don't understand how hot this thing is.
Companies like Parado, Chanel, and LV are continuously seeing declines in performance, while labubu has become the most discussed term among wealthy women, and stores are all located next to luxury goods.
Labubu is the main force of Pop Mart, and there are plans for movies and such to promote it; Pop Mart's strategy is not just to create more IPs but also to aim for a centennial IP.
Right now, labubu is more popular overseas than domestically, with unboxing videos going viral on TikTok, far hotter than Pepe and similar memes.
Those who don't understand memes might wonder what this has to do with your worthless coin. In fact, understanding Pepe makes it easier to comprehend labubu; both gain traction overseas, and only rise in China after that. The Pepe frog is a meme on the internet; what does that have to do with the crypto world? It's simply that Pepe initially established itself on tens of millions of platforms.
Currently, the only cultural item that outsiders understand and will continue to spread is labubu; this level of popularity cannot be compared to the three-minute heat generated by Old Ma's image.
Memes, after all, should bet on those that last longer and have higher ceilings.
Current holdings: BTC, Hype, HSK, labubu; I have a vested interest, so please do your own research before buying. Stock market: PDD, UNH, Coinbase, Tencent, etc., and I have also added a speculative small position in CRCL.
