Playing meme coins is actually about playing human nature

Many people think playing meme is about looking at technology, looking at code, looking at roadmaps.

But those who truly survive in meme coins know one thing:

Meme does not look at fundamentals, it looks at human resonance.

The essence of meme is not the project, it is an emotional asset.

It does not solve problems; it amplifies emotions.

Fear, greed, herd mentality, FOMO, gambling nature —

These things are infinitely amplified in memes.

Meme coins are not meant to be believed in, they are meant to be traded.

One of the most common mistakes beginners make is:

To treat memes as long-term value investments.

But the reality is:

• 90% of memes do not have a second wave

• 99% have no long-term value

• Those that can survive a cycle are rare

So when playing meme coins, you must first accept one fact:

You are not a shareholder; you are a trader.

Do not talk about feelings, do not talk about consensus, just talk about:

• Capital flow

• Emotional turning points

• Whether the narrative is still spreading

⸻

What truly decides win or loss is not the entry point, but the position

Many people will ask:

“Can this coin still go up?”

But the more important question is actually:

How much do you plan to invest?

The consensus among veteran players is:

• Meme coins are always small positions

• You must be able to accept zero loss without feeling

• Making 3 times in one go is not as good as surviving ten times

To survive is to have the next opportunity.

The golden time for memes is actually very short

Most memes have a lifecycle of only three stages:

1️⃣ Cold start period

Only a very small number of people know, the risk is highest, but the odds are the best

2️⃣ Emotional explosion period

KOL retweets, group consensus formation, FOMO at its peak

3️⃣ Disagreement & exit period

Unable to rise, narratives start to repeat, newcomers take over

What truly suits ordinary people is often the transition phase from 1 → 2

Not when everyone is shouting.

⸻

Playing memes, the most important thing is to go against human nature

What you often need to do are counterintuitive things:

• Don't heavily invest when emotions are at their peak

• Don't chase after high prices just because you think you've “missed out”

• Don't fantasize about selling at the highest point

• Don't confuse luck with skill

Memes give you opportunities, not guarantees.
