People forgot how memes move.
They don’t need perfect market conditions.
They don’t need everyone to be bullish.
It starts with a small pump. Then some volume. A few memes wake up. People start checking their old bags again.
Then, out of nowhere, everything starts moving at once and nobody is positioned with enough size.
The risk-to-reward on memes holding above a $1M market cap in these market conditions is something we haven’t really seen before.
There’s so little downside risk, massive upside potential, and countless signs pointing toward one simple strategy: buy and hold.
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but stop chasing mid-tier coins thinking they’re your shortcut to getting rich fast.
I know the timelines are filled with insane PnLs, but remember, you’re seeing the best of the best.
Those people got there by being patient, staying convicted, and letting their plays develop over time.
Mimic that mindset. Don’t rush the process or force something that needs time to play out.
It’s something I’m constantly working on myself.
since pumpfun launched, we’ve seen countless competitors try to challenge it.
they rise, gain attention, and try to take market share from pumpfun. but eventually, most of them fade away, fail to keep up, or simply can’t compete.
at the end of the day, pumpfun is still standing.
competition is good for the ecosystem, but you can’t ignore the community and network effect pumpfun has built. they’ve onboarded a massive number of traders and users into solana, and that kind of first-mover advantage is extremely difficult to replicate.
you can build a better product, but building the same community is a completely different game.
There’s very little time left before your favorite meme, the one you check every single day but still refuse to buy, pulls off the fastest 10x you’ve ever seen in your life.
The market has given everyone more than enough time to position themselves.
All the multibillion-dollar meme runners were born in times like this.
They had a first small run, corrected 80–90%, then had a second similar run and corrected another 80–90%.
Eventually, people were buying the dip at a $500M market cap.
