Why do 90% of meme coins fail? Is early chip monopoly really a manifestation of decentralization?

Abstract generation in progress

【Crypto Rhythm】Recently, a phenomenon that has sparked much discussion in the crypto community—the concentration of holdings among early participants like P Little and others in meme coins—has gained a new interpretive perspective.

Some believe this is actually a manifestation of decentralization. Early investors bear greater risks, and later buyers are making choices based on their own research, each acting independently. From this perspective, there’s no need for third-party intervention.

But how far can this view go?

Ultimately, very few meme coins survive. The industry generally believes that the failure rate of meme coins exceeds 90%. This is nothing new; it’s mainly because most projects lack genuine support. A good meme coin needs a compelling story, historical accumulation, and genuine community recognition. Only such projects can be considered valuable. Conversely, projects that follow trends often fade away quickly.

The key is that investors must be responsible for their own decisions. Those who blindly follow the crowd or hope for quick doubling are often the ones who get cut last. The game rules of meme coins are this brutal—think carefully before entering whether you can withstand losses.

Uh... Decentralization? Laughing out loud. In the early days, 99% of the chips were locked by big players. Is that called decentralization? --- Basically, meme coins are just gambling. Losing 90% is normal. Don’t bother making excuses for yourself. --- I’ve heard P’s rhetoric many times before. Risk is on you, but in the end, retail investors always foot the bill. --- A meme coin recognized by the community does tend to last a bit longer, but only if it’s not wiped out by the whales. --- Investors are responsible for their decisions... Fine, I’ll first take responsibility for my own losses. --- Really, meme coins are just about luck. Talking about decentralization is just nonsense. --- High concentration of chips and still calling it decentralization—I really don’t understand this logic. --- A 90% failure rate might still be an underestimate. Most projects I’ve seen have already failed.

Decentralized? Laughable. Early large holders concentrating chips—that's called decentralization? Then I must also be a victim of decentralization.

Decentralization? Haha, I've heard too many stories of early big players cutting the leeks. How can they package it so loudly here? --- 90% death rate of meme coins, I’ve known that for a long time, but only when it’s in my hands do I believe I might get caught in a trap. --- Sounds nice, but in the end, retail investors are the ones taking the fall. The early pioneers have already run away. --- So the key is to find projects with genuine community support, not just hype and speculation, right? --- Responsible investors? Laughable. Even big influencers are just riding the wave. Who has truly been responsible? --- Concentrated chips are just concentrated chips. Don’t call it decentralization when it’s just cutting the leeks. --- 99% of meme coins are gambling. Recognize this, and you’re halfway to success.

Decentralization? Laughable, early big players just cut the leeks. --- 90% failure rate, this data has been outdated for a long time; you still need good judgment. --- Basically, it's gambling. Don't blame the project team if you lose. --- P-level players indeed took risks, but newcomers take even more risks. How is that decentralization? --- Memecoin survivors all have stories; others are just zeroed-out coins. --- Investors are responsible? Uh... I never thought that way when I was losing money. --- Concentrated chips are just concentrated chips. Don't rename cutting the leeks as decentralization. --- Good projects will naturally become popular; no matter how long trash coins are hyped, it's useless. --- I've heard this argument too many times; every time it's just an excuse for latecomers to take over.
