I guess saying this might offend quite a few people in the crypto community.

CZ pointed out some time ago that NFTs were popular for a while, but now they’ve cooled off. Following this logic, Meme coins probably won’t escape this strange cycle either.

On the other hand, the reason Doge is still alive is because it has 15 years of cultural accumulation behind it, which most Meme coins cannot replicate. Most Meme projects simply can't last that long—they are either forgotten or eliminated by the market.

Ironically, some big influencers once hyped certain Meme coins to the sky. And now? Do they still have the nerve to speak? This is the true picture of the crypto world.

Big V disappears after harvesting the leeks, how many times has this routine been played, it's exhausting. Doge has lasted this long not just by luck; the underlying culture is vastly different. Other coins? Ha, most likely the next to go to zero. Honestly, CZ's words are quite harsh, but they are indeed not wrong. The people hyping Meme coins now, how are they silent? It's really interesting. Today’s NFT is tomorrow’s Meme coin, betting five bucks. Basically, it’s a cyclical leek harvesting; whoever keeps playing will get reaped. Most projects can't last more than a few years; it's brutal but very true. Cultural heritage can't be played with; Doge is a special case, others? Just dreaming. The logic in the crypto world is too simple: once it’s hot, it’s over; when the next trend comes, everyone forgets. Aren't those big V influencers who hyped it up initially feeling pretty awkward now? Their faces must be swollen.

Shiba Inu living so long is truly a miracle; everything else is just a fleeting moment.

Doge has indeed proven its worth so far, but 99% of the altcoins have long been relegated to the trash heap of history.

Well, that's a bit harsh, but it really hits the mark. The attitude of big influencers, a mess everywhere. Doge being around this long is already ridiculous; other coins trying to copy it don't stand a chance. Why has it lasted 15 years? Honestly, it's luck combined with cultural DNA. You can't replicate this, buddy. History always repeats itself; today’s NFT is tomorrow’s Meme coin.

No matter how fierce the hot wind is, it cannot blow away cultural heritage. This is the truth.

Wake up everyone, the big influencers have already run away. --- Doge has lasted this long not by luck, but by cultural accumulation, brother. --- That’s quite a harsh truth. Nowadays, those still hyping Meme coins are basically bagholders. --- I’m honestly amazed that people still trust big influencers these days. --- Haven’t learned from the lessons of NFT failures yet? Really. --- After a pump, they come back to hype the next trend. The tricks are so old. --- Meme coins are essentially a game of hot potato; once it’s in your hands, it’s over. --- Cultural depth isn’t something you can just have by saying so. --- This is the true picture of the crypto world: big influencers never go easy on pulling the rug.

ngl, doge's 15-year cultural moat is the real validator here. most meme coins? they're forking without consensus finality, fr fr.

Dogecoin has truly survived until today thanks to that sense of community; other coins would have faded long ago.
