The recent Meme craze in the crypto market is like a carnival party, full of speculation and enthusiasm. **All kinds of funny token names and bizarre story settings have attracted capital influx and created the myth of "getting rich overnight". **But think about it carefully, is this really a game for ordinary investors? **Meme is more like a show for a few speculative masters. It requires extremely high market acumen, extremely fast reaction speed, and the courage to take high risks. **For most people, this is a game that can only be watched from the outside. And those who "watch others make money" will always look forward to another opportunity, an opportunity to bring more people to participate.
As a result, the market began to look for new narratives. **Whenever a trend reaches its climax, a new direction will naturally emerge. **Nowadays, under the popularity of Meme, the narratives of AI and DePIN are quietly heating up. They are no longer about jokes and symbols, but trying to tell a bigger story. More importantly, they may be more real and more attractive than Meme.
AI, a concept that has long been popular in the technology circle, has naturally become a popular candidate for narrative. Since the emergence of ChatGPT, AI technology is changing our work and life. The crypto world is no exception - from the automatic generation of smart contracts to the in-depth analysis of market data, the application of AI is penetrating every corner. But for the market, technology is only part of it, and narrative is the core. The appeal of AI narrative lies in that it not only has a sci-fi sense of the future, but also makes people believe that these technologies are shaping real value. Compared with the pure speculation of Meme, AI narrative gives the market a higher foothold.
On the other hand, DePIN is also quietly rising. As a concept of decentralized Internet of Things, DePIN connects blockchain with real-world IoT devices, trying to give "real assets" more blockchain attributes. **Compared with traditional encrypted narratives, DePIN has a stronger sense of reality. Its basis is not symbols and emotions, but real hardware devices - sensors, routers, nodes, and even electric vehicle charging piles. **These devices generate data, which is converted into assets, and assets are integrated into the decentralized network. It looks complicated, but the logic behind it is extremely clear: let users participate in a decentralized ecosystem in a visible and tangible way. This sense of participation is the most unique feature of DePIN and the biggest difference between it and Meme.
Meme attracts funds in a fanatical way, but it never finds a landing scenario for itself. AI and DePIN try to add a thick foundation to the narrative. This foundation may be technology or equipment, but either way, it gives people more trust. People will laugh and bet when watching Meme, but they are skeptical about whether it can continue. The narrative of AI and DePIN makes people feel that this is not just a story, but more likely a long-term trend.
So, when the meme craze eventually fades, where will the funds go? The answer may have already been obvious. The market has never lacked hot spots, but those directions that can cross the cycle must be those narratives that more people can believe. AI and DePIN are moving in this direction.
