Recently, the returns on MEME projects in the primary market have made me reevaluate the opportunities in this sector. From an initial investment of $700 to surpassing $30,000, the entire cycle took less than 20 days. If partial profits had not been taken early, this number could have continued to rise.

This kind of growth may seem incredible, but it actually reflects the liquidity characteristics of MEME projects in the primary market. Early participants in projects often enjoy the valuation gap from the fundraising stage to the mainnet launch. What's the key? Timing.

Not all MEME projects perform this way. My observation is that successful investments often require three conditions: first, having a judgment on the project's fundamentals; second, entering at the right funding round; third, knowing when to exit.

This experience also exposes a reality—luck does play a role, but the market's mechanistic opportunities are even more worth studying. The threshold for Web3 primary market participation is lowering, but the ability to identify risks is becoming more important. The next wave of wealth opportunities may lie in the hands of those who can accurately judge market cycles.

Wow, 42x leverage, this luck is really too incredible Is it true? Going from 700 to 30,000 in 20 days? Why don't I have this luck The key is how you judge the fundamentals, I always end up踩坑 I'm worst at taking profits, if I weren't greedy I would have already made a fortune It's easy to say, but in actual operation, who isn't just blindly guessing I'm also waiting for opportunities in this cycle, just don't know how to identify them The three conditions the big brother mentioned sound simple, but executing them is probably hellishly difficult Not everyone can precisely hit the right timing, most people are still gambling with luck The primary market indeed has lower barriers, but losing money is also much faster, truly

700 dollars to 30,000, such multiples sound like storytelling... but this is exactly how the primary market works. Selling part of it, and the rest is still flying? I understand this move. The barrier to entry in the MEME track has lowered, but it's actually harder to survive; 99% of people simply don't have that sense of smell. When the timing is right, even the worst projects can take off—that's the magic of Web3. Luck? I believe more in the difference in information asymmetry and execution capability.

700 to 30,000? Asking you directly—honestly, is it all about vision or does luck play the biggest role... To be honest, luck isn't as small a factor as you might think, but screening ability is indeed crucial. The three conditions are well explained, but the second one is the hardest—who can precisely hit the funding round? Next round? Now the information gap is basically gone; low barriers have instead become the Grim Reaper's scythe. Quick profit-taking is the real skill; the greedy have already gotten off halfway. This track is now a mix of fish and dragons; those with strong judgment of cycles are indeed favored... but it's also easy to stumble.

Wow, 42x! This is the power of information asymmetry. --- But that's also true—luck plays half the role, and the other half is real knowledge. --- I just want to ask, how do you determine which MEME is truly promising? Weren't most of them all zeroed out? --- Timing is everything. It's easy to say, but executing is nerve-wracking. I'm stuck at the "should I enter now" step. --- Indeed, low barrier but high risk. It seems more and more people are rushing in, and latecomers will get burned.

700 dollars to 30,000... That's just good luck hitting the right project, not all memes are played like this. This guy is right, timing really is the key, but honestly most people can't get it right. The main thing is whether you can sell before the break, the primary market is this exciting. Talking about fundamental analysis, isn't it just gambling on probabilities? Only when someone makes money do they start talking sense. Always feel like these kinds of posts are all after-the-fact armchair generals... Taking profits is done well, but honestly most people get greedy and end up losing everything. The primary meme projects indeed have a low barrier to entry, but the losses come quickly too. This round of opportunity is real, just see who can avoid being crushed by FOMO.
