We've been pondering a question: how can we create long-term meme coins with lasting vitality like Shiba, Neiro, Moodeng? The goal is clear, but reality is often harsh.
The current winter in the Ethereum ecosystem is actually a double-edged sword. On one hand, the bearish market sentiment means a lot of noise is being cleared out, and projects and communities with real execution capability can be seen more clearly; on the other hand, in such an environment, perseverance and building indeed require more effort. This stage may sound challenging, but looking back at all successful meme coin cases, they have all experienced deep market cleansing — this is not a bug, but a feature.
Take Yee as an example, recently its market cap dropped from over 10 million to just over 1 million, a decline of 89%. But what does this extreme correction indicate? It shows that the market is making a choice; the holders who remain are the most steadfast believers. History tells us that in the growth trajectories of IPs like Shiba, Neiro, Moodeng, there are similar "death moments." Projects that survive this phase often achieve exponential returns in the next cycle.
The day when the Ethereum ecosystem warms up will come sooner or later. When that moment arrives, projects that have been building communities and accumulating consensus during the winter will have the strongest competitiveness. We have no intention of taking shortcuts and are prepared for long-term battles.
Finally, I want to say: thank you to every builder who has persisted through this phase — whether you are still here or have participated before. It is your efforts that have laid the foundation for the community today. Perseverance will be rewarded; this is not just empty talk, but the market's law.

An 89% decline is still just a story; it's truly a test of faith... But on the other hand, who could have predicted the Shiba wave? I'm just worried that those who hold on until the end might find they've invested in the wrong project.

89% decline... This is when filtering for true believers, see who still dares to HODL.

An 89% drop can still be called a feature; what kind of mental resilience does that take, haha

An 89% drop is truly incredible; this is what real faith testing looks like.
Shiba also endured this back in the day. Looking back now, it's almost like a story of being chosen by the heavens.

Only those who can hold a 89% decline are true believers... To be honest, this is a gamble on the reversal of the next cycle. Being able to hold on makes you a winner.

What does an 89% drop indicate? It shows that those still here are true believers, not gamblers. Staying committed during the winter may sound tough, but in the long run, it's like sifting through, and what remains are diamonds.

An 89% drop can't kill it, which shows this thing really has some substance.

nah look, survivorship bias is real though... sure yee tanked 89% but how many others just quietly got rug-pulled and nobody talks about em. shiba had the *luxury* of early exchange listings, that's not replicable lol
