Look at the growth records of MEME coins over the past few years, and you'll understand that this circle indeed defies logic.

In 2020, DOGE surged 160,000 times; in 2021, SHIB skyrocketed 260,000 times; by 2023, PEPE soared 80,000 times, FLOKI exploded 90,000 times, and last year, PNUT experienced a 30,000-fold increase. Such data in front of us makes it hard not to imagine.

There is now a saying that some new MEME projects are riding on the Ethereum ecosystem nodes while catching the wave of rising privacy coin narratives. Once market sentiment shifts, these assets may be more than just stories of hundredfold returns.

But there's a problem that can't be ignored—can the glory of the past be recreated, or are we witnessing the formation of the next bubble? Market cycles are like this, and participants need to weigh the risks themselves.

MEME-2,04%

DOGE0,42%

SHIB-0,23%

PEPE-1,52%

It's the same narrative again, hearing it so often that my ears are getting calloused. --- Oh my god, numbers like 160,000x really can make people go financially bankrupt. --- Honestly, everyone entering now has a gambler's mentality, don't pretend to be sophisticated. --- I really didn't get on the PNUT train; just watching others fly makes me uncomfortable. --- Privacy coin narrative? Feels like a sickle sharpening its blade again. --- The question is, who knows which coin will be the next 100x? The gambling element is too strong. --- Is history repeating itself? I think the probability is decreasing, after all, so many people want to get into MEME now. --- Instead of researching Ethereum nodes, it's better to see who has big funds building positions.

Looking at this data, I’m just stunned. A 30,000x return on PNUT is no longer surprising. --- Another cycle? Or is it just another scam? Who knows. --- That DOGE wave really can’t go back anymore. The times have changed, brother. --- Privacy coin narrative + Ethereum node, this combination does have some potential, but whether you believe it or not. --- Every time they say this time is different, every time it ends in total loss. I’ve learned to be smart. --- The data looks good, but only a few people actually make real money. --- Anyway, I don’t dare to move anymore. Waiting for the next scam to come.

This data is indeed crazy, but every time I look at it, I feel that the probability of latecomers losing money is even higher. Those who got in early are all lucky ones; now entering the market is mostly just catching the bag. I really missed the PEPE wave, but I don't regret it, after all, staying alive is more important. 16,000,000x? Honestly, I don't believe it; there must be some water content. If this cycle really comes with a big surge, I still prefer Bitcoin to be more stable. I've heard too many stories of quick money, and in the end, there are no good outcomes. MEME is basically gambling; some get rich overnight, others get wiped out, it all depends on luck. I have reservations about privacy coins; with such heavy regulatory pressure, can they really be pumped up? Seeing others' hundredfold returns makes me greedy, but when I actually get in, I start to get cold feet. I wouldn't even touch new projects like PNUT; the risk is just too high.

Looking at these data, I really feel itchy, but I didn't get in on the PNUT wave and I still regret it now --- Can history repeat itself? Forget it, countless people have been waiting to take over --- From DOGE to PNUT, someone always says this time is different, and what’s the result? --- New MEME hitting key points? Sounds plausible but always feels like storytelling --- Did 260,000x really exist, or did only the early investors make money? --- Instead of worrying about what the next big thing is, it's better to focus on your own positions --- The dream of a hundredfold return is still fun, and when you wake up, keep mining new coins --- Is the narrative of privacy coins heating up? Feels like all narratives end up being stories of the bagholders --- To be honest, the conditions for entering now are completely different from those of DOGE back then --- I really can't understand what counts as "the next bubble," but every time people say it's a bubble

This data looks outrageous, but it really happened... Gotta keep a level head.

Here comes the fantasy numbers again, sounding nice but only a few can really catch them That wave of PNUT looks like hot potato, whoever ends up holding the bag is doomed Is it privacy coins again this time? Really, brother? History will repeat itself, but you can't catch that train

Is this another story of cutting leeks? That wave of PNUT looked to me like hot potato. Make money and brag, lose money and stay silent, that's how this circle operates. The truth is, most people come to MEME coins to gamble, don't talk to me about narratives. 26 million times is real, but what about you?

These numbers are dizzying, but how many people truly dare to go all in?

Oh my God, how did I miss out on the 260,000x SHIB? --- Another round of MEME madness, is this really different this time? --- It sounds like an opportunity, but honestly it’s gambling. I’ll just watch for now. --- Wait, is the Ethereum ecosystem + privacy coins really that powerful? --- History may repeat itself, but the chances are getting lower. Early birds will always have the advantage over latercomers. --- PNUT only 30,000x and still dares to boast. This bear market is really torturous. --- I just want to know who the next 100x coin is. Does anyone have predictions? --- Everyone says it doesn’t follow logic, so why bother? All in on the dream. --- Bubbles are bubbles, but if someone profits, it’s no longer a bubble. --- From DOGE to now, after so many years, do people really believe it can multiply by tens of thousands of times?
