A few days ago, community influencers directly lashed out at criticisms, responding at length to critiques about meme coins and new coin aesthetics. Honestly, this wave of rebuttals is well-founded and justified.

Recently launched tokens are indeed very competitive, especially the two hottest projects lately, which are completely different from the old-school routines that used to be criticized.

$1 has surpassed 100 million views on Twitter, with Musk retweeting it twice, and official accounts in various languages are mimicking its style. If this isn’t considered a meme coin, what is? $CryCryHorse has TikTok popularity, breaking out of the niche Chinese community, and overseas influencers are reposting images with creative variations. Although I didn’t make money from this, the logic is clear—projects like these deserve more attention than those that are lukewarm.

The real problem with Alpha projects is their lack of sustainability. Previously, projects like Life K-line and various hot coins were just fleeting moments; most retail investors who entered later ended up losing money. The reason is simple: 99% lack genuine backing from whales, relying purely on retail sentiment. When market liquidity tightens, it results in direct sell-offs. This is common on BSC, but compared to ecosystems that go to zero instantly, the pace here is much more moderate.

More importantly, on BSC, even if a project drops, you can find community responses in your native language, and some will even engage and interact. In other ecosystems, you might not find anyone to complain to. That’s a significant difference.

Of course, not all projects lack strong backing; some tokens with real capital entering the scene help balance things out. During the USD1 competition cycle, a few meme coins with strong whale support carried half the weight and continued to generate profits. That’s why I’m optimistic about $Anhe and $BIGDON—these types of projects did have a run in last year’s competition.

Yesterday, many people preemptively invested in new projects, trying to catch a wave. Although there wasn’t a sharp crash, clear signs of support and stabilization were visible. In other ecosystems, they probably would have disappeared already.

Having a variety of styles in tokens makes it more interesting—everyone has their own way of playing. Looking at it now, BSC’s ecosystem is more fun and engaging than others, and worth spending time to study.

Honestly, I think the big guys' criticism of me this time is justified. It's definitely not the same as those days anymore. I also saw the article about surpassing 100 million views, even Musk has turned to it. How can you still say it's not a meme coin? The logic is rock solid. I'm just worried about another round of chopping the leeks. Retail investors' emotions are easily swayed, and when the wind blows, everything collapses. I've seen too many flash-in-the-pan projects. The BSC community atmosphere is genuinely stronger than other ecosystems. At least when it drops, you can still find people to criticize. The signs of market support are reasonable; only real whales entering can hold it up. Retail investors would have already gone all-in by now. --- Still the same saying: the key to playing coins is finding the right ecosystem. BSC is indeed more interesting. I didn't get in this round, but I’ve observed enough. When the next opportunity comes, I’ll decide then. --- The new coins are really more diverse now; that old routine is truly outdated. --- Ultimately, there are too many projects lacking staying power. Truly supported projects are rare as hen's teeth.

The wave of over 100 million reads is indeed top-notch, once Musk retweets, it’s a whole different story. Wait, isn’t there a bit of a logical problem here? Can’t support the market with 99% of no backing? The community attribute on BSC is indeed strong, at least when you lose money, someone is there to scold you. To be honest, meme coins are all about who markets aggressively. I didn’t catch the $1 one at the time, and now I kind of regret it. Those K-line coins earlier were all routines to cut leeks. Only true warriors still dare to believe now. I’ve seen $Anhe and $BIGDON, but can the events from last year be replicated now? It’s a bit uncertain.

The wave of over 100 million reads is really fierce; Musk has retweeted twice, and I still haven't jumped on the bandwagon—truly impressive. Speaking of which, coins without backing are just pure scams targeting retail investors. The money I once invested in that life-changing K-line is still just a dream. On BSC, at least the community is active; if you lose money, you can still find someone to curse. Switch to another ecosystem, and it disappears without a trace. $Anhe$BIGDON and similar projects have had some real talent; they dare to defend the market and do a better job than those that collapse at the slightest touch. Now it's all about who can maintain the hype. Short-term explosive growth is easy; the hard part is having real backing with genuine funds.

Wake up, 99% of projects are just retail investors holding the bag. Don't let emotions drive you. Only those with real backing from big players are worth lurking for; the rest are just routines to harvest retail investors. The community activity on BSC is indeed high, but the signs of market support are way too obvious. Wait a minute, did you really miss the last round of $An last year? Do you still dare to chase now?

Hey, this analysis really hit the mark. The BSC ecosystem is indeed much more stable than the other side. As for market support, in simple terms, it means someone is really putting real money into it. Retail investors' emotional coins quickly turn into zero coins. Isn't that funny? $An was really aggressive last year. Are people still going all-in now?

Hey, the protective capabilities of BSC are indeed different. It's much stronger than the neighboring ecosystem. --- That's right, only coins supported by whales can survive. Pure retail groups have long been crushed into dust. --- $Anhe$ and $BIGDON$ definitely deserve attention this wave; their performance last year is right there. --- The most outrageous are projects without whales. Liquidity drops to zero and they are on the brink of death. BSC can still be protected, but other ecosystems are zeroed out in minutes. --- That's just how meme coins are. When there's hype, there are stories. Musk retweeting twice is a signal. --- People still complain about losing money on BSC, but when you switch ecosystems, there's no one to talk to. The experience is so much worse. --- That wave of new projects yesterday was indeed supported by buyers below; otherwise, it would have collapsed early. --- Anyway, playing coins is about choosing ecosystems. BSC at least has an active community to back it up, which is a hundred times better than those desolate places.
