$ETH A political meme image has completely driven one cryptocurrency crazy?
Cryptocurrency friends, another magical event in the crypto world +1! A meme coin named Franklin, just because a Trump administration official, Pete Hegseth, posted a political satire image that parodied the children's cartoon character 'Franklin the Turtle' as armed against drug lords, saw nearly 10,000 transactions within an hour, and its market value surged back to $13 million.
This perfectly illustrates what is meant by 'narrative is everything' in meme coin speculation. It has nothing to do with technology or fundamentals; it is purely pushed to the forefront by sudden social hotspots and controversial public opinion. This kind of hotspot-driven surge attracts a large number of retail investors and speculative funds seeking short-term wealth.
But what does this mean for the entire market and retail investors?
It is the 'stimulant' of market sentiment: it indicates that during relatively calm periods in the mainstream market, speculative funds are unusually active, eager to chase any story, no matter how outrageous. This exacerbates local market volatility and risk.
It is the 'meat grinder' for retail funds: this kind of surge driven by a single hotspot comes quickly and goes even faster. Retail investors who rush in too late are easily turned into bag holders. The last line of the announcement, 'price volatility is high, invest with caution,' is not just polite wording.
So, what should retail investors do? The core message is simple: it's fine to watch the show, but don't spend money.
Specific advice:
Recognize the essence: Treat this as a case study to observe the degree of market frenzy, not an investment opportunity. Its core is gambling, not investing.
Control FOMO: Never rush to buy impulsively just because you see others discussing or prices soaring; your fear is the source of profits for the harvesters.
Protect your principal: Focus your main funds and energy on mainstream narratives and assets that have more solid logical support. Just enjoy the noise of meme coins and move on.
