i think some of the best meme setups are the ones that were born during the bear market, survived it, and somehow stayed culturally alive while liquidity was basically nonexistent.
BONK and MOG are good examples.
they had months where almost nobody cared about price, but people still kept posting them, accumulating them, and building an identity around the meme.
that matters because when liquidity comes back, these memes don't need to start from zero. the holders are already there. the culture is already there. the ticker is already familiar. the supply has already gone through months of distribution.
then attention returns, and suddenly the thing everyone ignored starts looking more than obvious to everyone at the same time.
that's why the expansion can be so violent. the move looks sudden, but the setup took months.
obviously, most bear market memes die. but the few that survive the worst environment and still keep holders, recognition, and culture usually have a much better setup once risk comes back.
we've already seen this happen.
i don't think that pattern disappears.
it will happen again.
