aped 3 pepes in 2023 and none of them were ~the~ $pepe and i coped hard, moved on from ethereum to arbitrum & eventually base, fumbling 60k on $CJ gains due to fud attack/poor team + my bad trading. i embraced solana and it's the best decision i made in crypto. $unc is my reward
$unc is the proof it's just a matter of holding, send supply so it's not their money, they don't feel obligated to sell
Makes you wonder why all these coins have a hard time pumping after all
History of the Meme Supercycle
When I sold my second last ape in June 2022 for 96 eth, it was quite obvious to me that NFTs were done. The next 10 months was bleak. There was nothing to do in crypto. I didn’t trade any memes in the nft cycle. Then pool party launched March 2023 and I told my friends idk what it is but there was NOTHING going on so we jumped in. It was an interesting concept and opened my eyes to coins. Don’t think I made any money but often times that’s not relevant. It created a tiny sliver of excitement on CT which I noticed.
Shortly after, Pepe hit and everyone was all over it. I made decent money on it and was now fully aware of memes. Then Hpos10i hit in May and I made it my personality. Smart, funny, unique, and retarded. And I watched the community spin up quickly and knew what the next bull run was gonna be about.
Strong coins started spawning on Eth after. Mog. Spx. Joe. Then i noticed the shift so sol start in the fall. Cheaper faster etc. I had dex screener open every day set to new sol coins. Plugging CAs into a rug checker site because you had 0 info. I bought popcat day 1 on vacation. Misplayed it obviously but rebought and did decent. Got rugged countless times.
Then pump fun hit in January 2024 and ppl think this was the beginning of the end of meme coins. It wasn’t. Like everything in life people are the end of something good.
The celebrity coins were the start of the end of meme coins. I already knew a coin based on a single person would always fail because I’m not a moron. But they were all over CT. People jumping in celeb replies offering to help. Clout went to peoples heads and they started pushing a terrible product on everyone. “Crypto influencers will be the new celebrities”. All sorts of utter nonsense. That’s not how you onboard lasting users. That’s how you fuck up a wet dream.
Then suddenly you had people who had never made a big trade in crypto streaming and making 6 figs during the stream on a hot new launch that they magically knew about. These people who for years never had a single good call in crypto. But if you noticed they chased every single hot ball of money. Friend tech. Blast. Any new meta they could start pushing so that they could extract before people realized what a terrible idea it was.
And the Fortnite kids showed up and caught the end of meme coins. The utter bullsht that was crypto+AI. Id argue that goat was worthless in my trading chat because a chat bot making tweets and then a human picking which tweets to send was actually moronic. A lot of people got absolutely rinsed on these coins. Every one a short term pump and dump as influencers were telling you AGI would be birthed on Solana.
Now meme coins are solved. Dev, bundle, dump.
And to that I say fck them kids.
Return to crypto tradition. Take back the culture that they took from us.
