Gordon Gekko once said:
"Greed is good."
But in the world of crypto, that statement sounds like the opening line of a tragicomedy.
Looking back to the time,
Memecoins appeared continuously like mushrooms after the rain.
The thing to think about is not:
"Is greed bad?"
But:
How can we operate it?
---
Greed is not a new invention.
It has existed since our ancestors were still wandering the Serengeti plains.
When a person picks all the fruit from one tree and then runs to another tree, they are not considered selfish.
They are seen as knowing how to survive.
That gene lives within us.
And crypto – with its speed and instant distribution capability –
becomes the perfect place for that primal instinct to manifest.
---
But instinct
does not mean chaos.
Memecoin is clear evidence.
It is as appealing as fast food:
Convenient. Eye-catching. Instant satisfaction.
But it does not nourish anything long-term.
When you consume too many empty calories,
You do not get stronger.
You are just temporarily full.
---
The fact is:
The problem is not greed.
The problem is how we organize and regulate it.
Shiba Inu once turned community excitement into a massive source of capital.
Vitalik Buterin used that money to fund public goods.
Chris Dixon proposed regulatory frameworks for greed accompanied by responsibility.
That is:
If we cannot eliminate greed,
We can design an ecosystem that makes it beneficial.
---
Crypto is a rare place where supply – demand – trust – and market reaction
happen almost instantly.
The explosion of memecoins is not a system fault.
It is a true reflection of psychological demand:
Wanting to get rich quickly.
Wanting a sense of belonging.
Wanting a game that flips life upside down.
But when the haze of excitement fades away,
Only projects with real value will survive.
---
A few names like Helium, Hivemapper,… are showing a different direction.
They turn greed into a value-creating motive.
Not suppressing instinct,
but using it to attract beneficial behavior –
data mining, building maps, providing infrastructure.
That is:
Turning instinct into a system.
---
So for you – a new investor – what is the strategy?
Start with a simple question:
"What problem does this token solve?"
Who really needs it,
besides you and someone hoping to sell it at a higher price?
If the answer is not clear,
That is not an investment opportunity.
That is a game of chance.
---
You can play with memecoin.
But play with the awareness that you are playing.
Do not confuse the game with the strategy.
And most importantly:
Do not deny greed.
Observe it.
Ask it what it wants.
Put it in the right place –
Not in the driver's seat, but in the back seat.
To remind you that:
Humans do not invest purely with rationality.
But with dreams.
With fear.
With expectations.
---
The market is not wrong.
It only reflects us –
sometimes in the most beautiful moments,
sometimes in the most reckless moments.
And just like our ancestors once chose to pick fruits for a full stomach,
Now we are choosing memecoin to satisfy.
The only difference is:
Some will know how to go back to planting.
