Brothers! Seeing the news of PIPPIN on the Solana chain skyrocketing by 35%, can't help but feel the urge to rush in? Hold on! I dare say that 80% of those who are eagerly watching this increase are about to be harvested! As an analyst who has been in the crypto space for 8 years and has avoided 3 major crashes, let me make this clear: The frenzy of Meme coins has always been a 'feast for the reapers'. If ordinary people want a piece of the pie, they must engrave these 3 pitfalls in their bones!
First, we must recognize a cruel reality: 99% of Meme coins are products of 'air + emotion', including the recent surge of PIPPIN. There are no white papers, no technical routes, and certainly no practical application scenarios. The price fluctuations depend entirely on major holders controlling the market and social media hype. I've seen too many cases: a certain Meme coin skyrocketing by 50% in a single day, retail investors frantically chasing the highs, only for major holders to cash out at the top, leading to a price crash within half a day, leaving 86% of investors with nothing. Remember the first rule to avoid pitfalls: Do not invest in 'emotional coins' without fundamental support, no matter how tempting the increase, it’s a gamble with your life!
Secondly, don't be deceived by the label of the "Solana chain". Many people think that since Solana has high throughput and low fees, the meme coins on it are more reliable? This is a big mistake! The latest data shows that the activity of the Solana network plummeted by 97% in the fourth quarter, with active traders dropping from 30 million to less than 1 million. Even the native coin SOL dropped from $300 to $120, a decline of 58%. Against the backdrop of a weak ecosystem, the surge of individual meme coins is purely a "flash in the pan", like a mirage in the desert—looks beautiful, but when you get closer, it's all illusion. The second rule to avoid pitfalls: don't touch "lone wolf coins" in a declining ecosystem; if the sector is not doing well, a single coin bouncing around won't make a difference!
Now, let's talk about the market trend. My view is very clear: after a short-term frenzy, there will definitely be a sharp decline. The entire crypto market is still in a downcycle, and the hype around meme coins will only accelerate the bubble's burst! Currently, the price of Bitcoin has dropped over 30%, the entire market's liquidity is shrinking, and institutions are pulling back. In such times, the surge of meme coins is essentially large holders "pumping and dumping". Fundstrat has predicted that SOL may fall to the $50-75 range in the first half of 2026. As a meme coin attached to the Solana ecosystem, the fate of PIPPIN is predictable—either it will be abandoned by large holders and slowly go to zero, or it will be directly involved in a "rug pull" scam. It's important to note that among the meme coins launched in 2025, 70% drop below their issuance price within three months, and only 3% can maintain positive returns. Do you think you can be one of those 3% lucky ones?
Finally, a heartfelt message: The core of making money in the crypto world has never been about "chasing trends", but about "avoiding risks". If you really want to participate in meme coins, remember three principles: only use spare money that you can afford to lose, no more than 5% of your total assets; check if the smart contract is open source and whether large holders have more than 20% holdings before investing; set strict stop-loss lines, take partial profits when gains exceed 10%, and don't be greedy!
I never paint a rosy picture for everyone, only speak the truth and talk about risks. Follow me, tomorrow I will organize and share the data on large holders' positions and contract audit reports of popular meme coins on the Solana chain for free with my fans. Remember, to survive in the crypto world, you have to wait for the real bull market. Those who advise you to chase PIPPIN right now either don't understand or want to treat you as lettuce for the next round of investment!
