Many people on the timeline say that memes have been played out, but in fact, memes have never died; they have just changed audiences. From $DOGE to $PEOPLE, then to $BOME, $SPX, $MOG, each wave is testing how many new forms "consensus" can be rolled out. In the NFT era, we compete for "a sense of belonging," in this era, we compete for "propagability," and now in the PvP phase, we are actually competing for "reflex arcs." Anyone can create a narrative, but the most important thing is whether you can buy before others do. Because in this market, information is always half a beat slower than emotions. Old players can't understand new memes because they are still looking for logic; VCs look down on memes because they are used to finding valuations. But memes are not about valuation logic; they are amplifiers of belief flow. This thing cannot be quantified or predicted; it relies not on white papers but on the explosive points of crowd psychology. So the real meme builders are not those who think every day about how to pump the price, but those who think about how to give a group of people a reason to stay. This kind of construction may seem foolish to others, but it is the only value that can transcend cycles. Otherwise, why is $DOGE still alive, $PEPE still around, while so many AI + DeFi + RWA projects have long been forgotten? The end of memes is not a bubble, but culture. After the bubble bursts, those old players who still insist on telling stories, drawing pictures, and writing jokes, are actually using the clumsiest ways to make this attention war a little gentler.
