Can MEME coins traverse bull and bear markets? The key still depends on how solid the consensus is.



In the past two years, market changes have been rapid, and the coins that survive all share a common trait — they have true believers behind them. Those communities that band together are not aiming for overnight riches; they genuinely believe in something. This belief, frankly, is the strongest backing.

The most interesting part of the crypto world is right here. A group of strangers gather around a shared ideal, with no KYC, no intermediaries, purely supported by faith to sustain an ecosystem. Some think this sounds like pyramid schemes, but if you've truly participated, you'll understand that it's completely different from traditional financial logic.

With the market so competitive now and platform tokens everywhere, the projects that can truly stand firm are those supported by loyal communities. In the process of sifting through the waves, consensus has become the most valuable asset. When people are united, even Mount Tai can be moved — this saying in the crypto market seems never to go out of style.

Consensus may sound虚, but it becomes especially real during market crashes. Look at those who have survived; they are indeed community铁血. Huddling belief vs overnight riches, this is probably the watershed that determines how long one can survive. That's right, but whether true believers can hold on longer still depends on whether the coin price rises or not. Don't fool yourself, huh. I'm tired of the pyramid scheme theory; the key is whether you have real money in it. If you do, then naturally you'll believe. After this bear market, projects without consensus have basically gone to zero. Those still alive definitely have some substance. Meme coins rely on jokes to become popular, but after the joke fades, whether the community remains is the real test. When people's hearts are united, Mount Tai can be moved. But the prerequisite is that there are still people who haven't cut their losses and run, haha.

consensus mechanisms are just game theory with extra steps tbh... the real signal isn't the tokenomics sheet, it's whether people actually *use* the thing when price dumps 70%. that's when you see the merkle proof of real belief vs noise

Consensus, in simple terms, is about sticking together for mutual support. In a bear market, you can really see who are the true believers and who are just here to harvest profits. Meme coins lack fundamentals; they rely solely on this momentum. Once that fades, it's over. Pyramid schemes? Not exactly, but it’s definitely a game where you risk becoming the bagholder. I've looked at all the projects that survived, and the core is strong community engagement; everything else is nonsense.

That's right, community faith is indeed the last bastion, and I have deep personal experience with this. Honestly, watching a bunch of new tokens launch and then disappear, those that survive are indeed supported by loyal fans. Consensus is more valuable than anything else, more than whitepapers, teams, or funding rounds. The difference between pyramid schemes and faith lies here: are you being exploited or truly participating? An ecosystem solely sustained by belief is indeed wild, but it's also because of this that it can endure the bear market. Unlike those driven by hype, which get wiped out after a single dip.

Consensus sounds good in theory, but when it comes to a bear market, it all depends on who is still around. It's all about faith again. I remember during the last bull market, the coins that were hyped up then are now all dead. Ironclad community? From what I see, it's all scams and rug pulls. The point is valid, but how many MEME coins have really survived two full cycles? Honestly, it still comes down to luck. No matter how strong the consensus is, it can't stop FUD and market dumps.

Consensus may sound虚, but in a bear market, it is indeed the strongest supply line. I've seen too many projects in communities that have散掉, and that's truly tragic. Honestly, MEME coins are the most testing of people's hearts. During a crash, true believers are still there, while those who cut losses have already run away. After several cycles, those who survive are indeed supported by a solid community behind them. However, I have to pour a cold water—stable consensus does not equal price stability. Many projects have very strong communities, yet their coin prices still keep falling. Position management is always the top priority; no matter how坚定 your信仰, you must control losses.

Exactly right, this is what I've been doing all along. My MEME holdings are all strong hands, never wavering. But to be honest, I'm currently fully invested, so I remain very calm even as prices fall. It's because I understand the value of consensus that every pullback is an opportunity for me to buy the dip, and I feel this time I might double my gains. Wait, could the consensus also break down? Then wouldn't I... Never mind, don't think about it, keep adding to my positions, the bull market will definitely come. Actually, many people just lack this kind of faith. The bears keep talking down the market, but we just hold steady. The saying "When people are united, Mount Tai can be moved" is engraved in my mind. Behind every active coin are true believers, and I am one of them. This wave is definitely safe.

That's right, but I think consensus is also too easily eroded; just look at those dead meme coins. True believers? Honestly, it's just that they haven't lost enough yet. I agree with the community sticking together, but those who can survive the bear market are mostly those with real utility. Relying solely on faith? Uh... But Doge has indeed proven to be something until now, I have to admit that. Is consensus the most valuable? That's a question mark; it still depends on whether the coin can continue to produce value. Honestly, compared to pyramid schemes, I think it resembles religion more. How should I put it? This cycle will probably see another wave of deaths; whether it survives or not still depends on the whales.
