The memes from before really had substance. They weren't created just to issue coins; rather, there were fun and humorous things first, and everyone spontaneously played, repeated, and created new content, and the community gradually grew. The coin was just something that attached itself to the culture.
You might forget the price, but you won't forget that joke.
Back then, the meme consensus could last for a few months, even half a year or a year. It wasn't because the projects were so great, but because everyone was really playing the same joke. The community truly had faith and was building.
Later, you will find a very obvious change.
Many BSC memes now have almost identical processes.
Someone says something, finds an angle, names it, drives in, pulls one, waits for others to follow, then crashes.
From start to finish, not a single part is fun or funny.
When the car head enters, retail investors think this is consensus; when the car head crashes, retail investors realize this is just rhythm.
In the past, the community formed first, and the price gradually moved; now, the price rises first, and the community is then forced to adapt.
You may not even have time to remember what it's called, it's already gone.
So the problem is not that memes die quickly, but that these things never had memes to begin with.
They have no chance of being remembered, they can only be traded.
Without memes, there is no repetition; without repetition, there is no community; without community, consensus is impossible.
What remains is merely a game of 'who runs fast, who survives.'
What is a true meme?
It's that you don't look at the K-line, but are willing to stay in the group to watch others play with memes; it's something that can still be teased and recreated after a few months.
Rather than fixating on who said what, posted what, creating memes for the sake of memes, and forcing angles for narratives, then asking if goods should be sold now.
So it's not that the meme space is failing, but too many people misinterpret narrative perspectives as culture.
Coins without consensus can only rely on the next person to take over; memes without memorable points are destined to live just one day.
True memes are those that can be remembered. Those that can't, even if they rise, are just one-time consumables.
True Web3 actions are the same.
It's not about crafting stories for hype, but first having something real to do, with a reality that needs to change.
The community gathers because of recognition; tokens are merely tools to support actions.
You may not care about the price, but you will remember what they did.
Just like @Max Charity , no one discusses the rise and fall, but you will remember how many tablets they gave out, enabling how many children to start learning.
Hype without heat can only make noise for a moment; actions without value are destined to be forgotten.
True actions are those that can be seen. The unseen, no matter how loud, is just a noise.
