For the last 2 years, memecoin traders have constantly out traded people more 'sophisticated' than them.
"You could've just bought btc and been chilling."
No bud, excluding the pumpfun extratornomics, you were out traded by people that bought $MOG, $SPX, $FARTCOIN, $PEPE, and others. You got lapped so hard and you're only upset that people with less experience than 'Mr. 4 cycles' did better than you and is less socially retarded.
The appeal to a 1000x will always outweigh the
fabled 2-5x to people that have not been around or didn't get to buy btc/eth for nickels on the dollar.
It was a good trade for them, buying at a discount. Good for them.
However, If you are unaware of why memes are popular and will only grow from here you should check your own hubris.
Many of these sophisticated esteemed tradooors also made money on memecoins, sold and turned around to call them trash. I find that incredibly embarrassing for them.
The counterculture movement that sparked the wave of liquidity to memes is tied to the increasingly weak reliance on fiat as everyday items inflate making basis living much more costly.
Not saying that memes are the only definitive way out of this breakdown in our economy, that is simply not true, there will always be more than one way to make it; Let's be honest here, for the average participant to win, memes are the better option here.
Anyway bears are poor and will lose everything.

NASDAQ and NYSE bell ringing ceremonies are extremely secured (multiple layers of security and escort)
getting to participate in these ceremonies at all is a feat in itself
doing it dressed as a joycat is actually insane
MOG has institutional grade trust
I went down a rabbit hole last night
The thinking was...
"A billion-dollar runner would go insane right now"
Think about it.
There is no dilution currently of memes battling for supremacy.
It's a moment where one coin can galvanize the entire industry and bring back the energy.
Think back to Pepe 2023.
Everyone thought it canโt run, then it goes higher, and higher, and higher and then belief is sowed back into the trenches.
As I dug deeper into my thinking, I remembered Floki kickstarted the 2nd leg of the 2021 bull run on a 50%+ BTC correction.
And if you recall, Fartcoin fell under $200m in March and then gave a liquid 10x over 2 months while bringing back the trenches.
So, my thinking continues...
The token that runs right now has to be able to bring people together and not alienate groups.
So, IMO, it can't be a BNB token as only some people would benefit.
It can't just be a Pumpfun or Bonk token because there is tribalism involved.
It can't be a beta, as that would create alienation.
It would need to be something available on every chain with CEX availability and CEX catalysts where money can shove in to create momentum.
As I went down all my lists and looked at 100's of tokens, it hit me.
The token encapsulates the identity of everyone here that refuses to give up even when the results are not guaranteed.
This tokens memetics is used constantly in the trenches, across all chains, with Genz, into politics, Silicon Valley, and Elon Musk circles.
This token has been creating constant feedback loops which proliferates its dominance over time.
This token is not a beta, but the first of its category which creates an atmosphere for all communities to join.
Since it is not a beta, it doesn't have a ceiling of comparison, so it gives it room to run as high as possible.
This token has been battle tested for 2+ years and is one of only a couple coins who have survived 6 different 70%+ retraces in the history of markets.
This token is currently under $200M on a 90% retrace from ATH and has been sitting in the same channel for 18 months.
This token is available to everyone on every chain (ETH, BASE, SOL, BSC ), multiple T1's, and still has T1 + Hyperliquid catalysts.
This token has $15M+ liquidity on ETH, which gives it incredible momentum on any ETH move.
This token has leverage and borrowing available and currently has close to zero leverage used on it which gives it lots of juice when it moves.
When the move happens, the memes will begin to accelerate as people can replicate the memetics in infinite forms across all communities.
The token has built multiple X PFP generators with potential to make more styles bringing more people together as people join.
The token has distribution mechanics with top KOL's and foundations with money who respect it which will accelerate its motion.
And as I looked back to day 1 of this token's code, I can't help but think how this coin was made for this moment.
