Sorry to burst your bubble, but memecoins are unlikely to reclaim their past glory. The hype-driven frenzy that once pushed tokens like Doge, Shiba, and countless others to staggering valuations has cooled down — and the reality is clear: very few, if any, will ever reach new all-time highs, even if the market enters a massive bull run.
Yes, there will be dead cat bounces. Prices will pump, liquidity will surge, and communities will briefly roar back to life. But just as quickly, the momentum will fade — much like we saw with the NFT boom, the metaverse rush, and the GameFi craze of the last cycle. Each trend burned bright, drew in speculators, and then fizzled, leaving behind a handful of survivors while most projects sank into irrelevance.
The truth is simple: memecoins are pure hype assets. Their strength lies in virality and culture, not utility. And while culture-driven tokens can spark short-term pumps, long-term sustainability is rare. The crowd moves on to the next narrative, the next shiny thing, the next promise of 100x.
If you’re trading memecoins, trade them for what they are: short-term opportunities in a hype cycle. Don’t mistake them for long-term investments, because the majority will never reclaim their former peaks.
Study history. Study NFTs. Study the metaverse. Study GameFi. The patterns repeat, and memecoins are just another chapter in the same book.
