Recently, many friends have been asking me in Binance Square and group chats:
👉「Can this coin be pumped?」
👉「Is it the next hundredfold coin?」
👉「Is it too late to get in now?」
To be honest, most of the hotly speculated Meme coins / auto-dividend coins / perpetual motion concept coins end up quite similarly.
Today, I’ll talk straightforwardly about what these coins rely on for their rise, and why most people end up as bag holders.
1. What drives the rise of Meme coins?
Let’s start with the conclusion:
90% of Meme coins rise not because of value, but because of sentiment.
There are only three common drivers:
1️⃣ Emotional consensus
Low price (looks 'cheap')
Huge supply (easily fantasize about hundredfold)
Easy to remember names, meme images brainwashing
👉 It gives people the illusion of 'I can afford a lot' and 'a little increase can make me rich.'
2️⃣ Extremely low liquidity
Many new coins:
LP is very small
With a slight push on the buy side, the price will soar
📈 Thus appeared:
> 'It has already risen 50%; can it still be chased?'
But the rise you see is often just **a price illusion created by a few funds**.
3️⃣ Narrative packaging
You must have seen these words:
Perpetual motion machine
Automatic dividends
Repurchase and burn
AI + Meme
No team, fully decentralized
⚠️ Note:
Mechanism ≠ Value
No matter how complex the contract is written, it does not mean it can have long-term buyers.
II. Why do most people lose?
❌ When you see the heat, it is already mid to late stage
True low point:
No one discusses
No K-line screenshots
No one tells you 'get on the bus quickly'
When Binance Square and groups start to appear in large numbers, it is often no longer the starting point.
❌ Big players and bots are faster than you
In many Meme coins:
Bots sweep goods in advance
Big players control LP and the rhythm
When you manually click to buy, others are already waiting for you to take over.
❌ Ignore contract risks
Many people only look at prices, not contracts:
Is it verified (Verified)?
Can the tax be changed?
Can it be blacklisted?
Is LP locked?
📌 In one sentence:
> Prices can deceive, contracts cannot.
III. The 4 bottom lines for determining whether a Meme coin is 'worth touching'
If you must play, at least stick to these 4 rules:
✅ Contract verified (readable on BscScan / Etherscan)
✅ Can be normally bought and sold (not a honeypot)
✅ LP locked or burned
✅ Do not over-invest, only use money you can afford to lose
⚠️ If two of these conditions are not met, give up directly.
IV. The ones truly suitable for the long term are always few
History has repeatedly proven:
Projects that truly survive long-term do not rely on slogans
Assets that can truly weather cycles do not need to be pumped daily
Meme coins can be played, but you must be clear:
👉 You are betting on probabilities, not investing in value
V. Final words
The crypto world lacks opportunities; what it lacks is:
Recognize which leg you are on
Accept that 'missing out is better than losing money'
Learn to stay calm when emotions are at their peak
Living longer is more important than earning quickly.
