I recently heard an interesting idea: meme coins that are truly rooted in Chinese internet culture are the ones worth paying attention to. Those cliché couple narrative coins are basically no longer popular.

The reality is quite harsh. Once the enthusiasm for the BSC ecosystem fades, these coins tend to follow the trend and pull back. The rapid rotation of the market also shakes people's confidence in long-term narratives. New ideas emerge every day, but only a few projects can truly settle and develop. This actually reflects a transition in the meme coin market from blindly chasing trends to seeking cultural identity.

Damn, it's the same old rhetoric about cultural identity... Sounds nice, but the ones who really make money are still those early gamblers. Are the husband-and-wife teams out of fashion? Forget it. When the next hot trend comes, there will still be people taking over. Cycles are so cruel. I'm just worried that in the end, nothing will settle down, and it'll all be just a flash in the pan. Can Chinese memes really go viral? I remain skeptical. It sounds good, but isn't it just leeks passing the leek...

Couples team is already outdated, who still falls for this nowadays --- When BSC hype fades, the coin price drops straight down. This wave is very clear to see --- Rooted in Chinese culture? Sounds good, but it feels like another wave of getting scammed --- Every day new ideas, but few projects are actually solid. It's a case of survivor bias --- Long-term narrative? Haha, the market simply doesn't give this a chance --- From chasing trends to seeking recognition, honestly it's still just about scamming the little guys --- I bet five bucks this "cultural recognition" trend won't last more than three months --- If there were really good projects, they would have already exploded. Why bother with this cycle? --- Quick rotation just means quick scamming. Don't brainwash yourself

Couples' teams have been outdated for a long time, and those still炒的 this wave are probably the bagholders. There are indeed some elements of Chinese cultural memes, but there are really too few projects that have accumulated substance. The BSC approach is already tired, and once the hype fades, the true nature is revealed. Every day new ideas come up, but only a few can really survive, and this is the cruel reality. Cultural identity > blindly chasing trends, this is true. No matter how good the narrative packaging is, it can't withstand the ruthless rotation of the market. That's just how meme coins are; today's hot topic becomes a joke tomorrow. I still think we need to find something with real vitality; just having hype isn't enough.

Chinese meme coins really need to be localized, otherwise they're just feeding the whales Couples' teams are already everywhere, and buying this kind of thing now really makes you a bagholder Cultural identity is indeed a differentiator, but most projects still can't escape the fate of being rug-pulled Projects that have been around for a while sound good in theory, but in reality, most are just waiting for the day they run away After the hype on BSC faded, it was really a mess, who still remembers those coins

Chinese meme coins really need to have some substance this time; pure hype won't last long. The married couple narrative is dead; who still falls for that? You need some cultural depth to make it work. When BSC's popularity drops, these coins are done for. The retail investors need to remember that. There are new projects every day, but how many survive? That's just how it is. Honestly, it's all about having a sense of identity; otherwise, it's just a harvest for the chives. The rotation speed is ridiculously fast—yesterday's dad is already grandpa today. With the support of Chinese internet culture, there is indeed a chance, but it depends on whether it's a real necessity or just another wave of IQ taxes.

Well said, cultural identity is indeed the breakthrough, but I'm worried it will just become the next hype for cutting leeks again.

The married duo really should step down, tired of it Cultural identity is the real way out; you need to find something that truly hits Chinese people's funny bones That BSC approach has long gone out of fashion; the rotation is too fast to stand firm Every day there's a new concept and narrative, but how many last more than three months? Nonsense
