Meme coins are still riding the wave, with many people reaping benefits from the gains of DOGE and SHIB, but the real opportunities are often revealed in discussions in the comment section.

Currently, the market is seeing successive performances from the frog series (PEPE), the dog series (DOGE, PUPPIES), and AI narrative tokens (TURBO). Some have held onto the DOGE ecosystem for years, others are all-in on AI themes, and some have just entered emerging small-cap coins.

But the core question is: do you truly understand the logic behind your holdings? What supports the value of meme coins? The privacy coin ecosystem has also been on the rise recently; can projects like ZEC break through their all-time highs? From meme coins to tokenized gold, and to various tokens within the ETH ecosystem, how will the market landscape evolve by 2026?

Instead of blindly following the trend, it's better to focus on studying the underlying market logic. Show your opinions in the comment section and see what others really think about these coins.

Honestly, DOGE has been around for so long and I still haven't figured out why it rises, it's just following the trend. I just went all in on TURBO and started to regret it. Is this thing reliable, everyone? PEPE was rising when I was sleeping, and by the time I woke up, it was cooling off. Truly outrageous. Holding logic? Laughable, it's just gambling on the atmosphere, what else can it be? ZEC breaking new highs? I highly doubt it, no one believes in privacy coin stories anymore. Instead of researching the logic, it's better to get in early. Anyway, it's never too late to regret. I just bought small coins and got trapped. Who can save me? The comment section is full of gamblers, no one really understands these coins. How is the big brother who has been sticking to the DOGE ecosystem doing now? Come out and say something. Meme coins are just for fun, don't take them seriously, everyone. ETH ecosystem tokens are all just acting. I admit it, I’m all about blind boxes. What will the market landscape look like in 2026? I only know that my money will definitely be gone by 2026.

Once again, it's the same story. Everyone is hyping up DOGE's gains, but I’m damn exhausted from losing money this year, can’t you see? Listen to me, don’t touch PEPE, it’s all a game for bagholders. Anyone who dares to go all-in on AI narratives is a gambler. I advise you to wake up. ZEC breaking new highs? Laughable. The privacy coin ecosystem is just a false demand. Don’t buy coins blindly without reading the papers; 99% of people are just relying on luck. The advice in the comment section isn’t worth much; it’s better to look at K-line charts yourself. Those who say "understand the holding logic," nine out of ten are just fooling themselves.

Honestly, I've been playing DOGE for so many years, I no longer expect it to rise. Now I just see it as a pension fund. It's easy to pump but also quick to dump. A bunch of people chasing PEPE are just gambling; it's no surprise if they lose. I'm actually optimistic about privacy coins. ZEC has solid fundamentals, unlike meme coins that rely solely on hype. Friends all-in on AI projects must be freaking out right now... The comment section is truly the liveliest, with everyone claiming their coin can tenfold. Believe it, and you'll deserve to be trapped.

To be honest, those who have stuck with DOGE for so many years have indeed made a profit, but most of the current investors are probably just gambling on the odds. PEPE is surging wildly, but what’s the logic behind its value? Is it just because memes are popular? Who can really say how long this trend will last? I also follow AI narrative coins, but it feels like the hype is more about concept speculation than actual application... Can ZEC break new highs? I’m not very optimistic. Instead of chasing new coins, it’s better to stick with mainstream ones and have a clear bottom line in your mind.

Bro, honestly, what's the logic behind holding positions? I'm just purely gambling out of frustration. DOGE has been holding for so long, it should have rebounded by now. Wait, wait, how's PEPE doing lately, everyone? Is it still a mess? To be honest, meme coins are just a game of probability. Betting on popularity is all that matters, haha. ZEC breaking its all-time high? Sounds good, but does anyone really use privacy coins? I just want to know if TURBO is another scam, hoping for some expert guidance. Honestly, it's just fate to follow the trend, can't do anything about it. How are the AI-themed groups doing now? Is anyone still holding on? It's all about whether the story is good or not, haha. That's just how this market is.

Haha, well said. I'm the kind of person who only realizes what I bought after going all in. DOGE ecosystem hodl has been around for so long, it's hard to say what exactly supports its value, it's just faith. Privacy coins have indeed been rising recently. Can ZEC break new highs? Who knows, it all feels like gambling. Jumping into small-cap coins is too late, easy to get trapped, I don't dare to touch them anymore. 2026... still too far away. Let's just survive until next year first. The discussions in the comment section do reveal some things, but in the end, everyone just speaks their own mind.

Honestly, I was already on the DOGE train a long time ago, but now this new wave of coins just feels a bit like gambling. Holding logic? Uh... just bullish, haha. Sometimes I really can't figure out why I should buy. Can ZEC break new highs? I actually think so. Privacy coins will eventually come into the spotlight. Going all-in on one theme is easy to get wrecked. I'm now diversifying my holdings to see if I can survive until 2026. The analysis from these big shots in the comment section looks impressive, but honestly, the market is just a big casino. PEPE's recent rally was really fierce. Missing out definitely would have been a huge regret, but now? I'm a bit scared, not gonna lie.

To be honest, 99% of people have never thought about the logic of holding positions; they just follow the trend—buy when bullish, cry when bearish. DOGE die-hard fans have been around for so many years, but PEPE and TURBO are just hype cycles. When the next hot spot arrives, they'll be sold off just as quickly. As for privacy coins like ZEC, if regulations tighten, they'll be wiped out instantly. Don't expect any new all-time highs. Rather than studying narrative logic, it's better to see who has more money and who can dump the market—that's the real truth.

In short, I made some gains with DOGE this time, but now looking at new coins, it's really all about luck—there's no logic involved. Putting all your funds into a single theme is too risky; I'm just waiting to see who can make the final move. ZEC does have some imagination; the privacy narrative might really take off this year. Don't even mention understanding the holding logic; most people can't even figure out what they're betting on. PEPE's hype is intense, but projects with real fundamentals are actually being ignored. This meme coin craze is just a game of hot potato; the key is not to be the last one holding the bag. I'm more optimistic about coins with ecosystem support; relying solely on memes won't last long.

All my indicators are contrarian, look at what I buy and everything dies --- DOGE guardians are just waiting to be harvested as leeks in my eyes, and so am I --- Everyone is studying holding logic, I skipped it directly, all-in on new coins contrarily, losing money very fast --- Is the comment section the opportunity? Every comment in my section can accurately踩坑, this is my superpower --- Truth often lies opposite to me, so I rely on losses to guide everyone --- When PEPE tripled in value, I just happened to be clearing my position, no wonder I am the king of professional negative alpha --- Deeply studying? I go deep and never come back up --- The day ZEC broke a new high, I guess I was fully invested --- Instead of blindly following the trend, I blindly go against it, and the result is the same loss --- Let's not talk about the market pattern first, let's talk about my liquidation price
