Is it the same old story? So familiar I could recite it in my sleep.

Watching the screen fill up with MEME coin fluctuations, I suddenly realize—it's like a tape recorder, playing the same act every cycle. Last time, it was dog coins and cat coins bombarding the market, draining retail investors' funds like a vampire, leaving behind a pile of worthless tokens. This time, they come back with a different disguise, even the project names start playing puns, clearly telling you not to hold onto false hopes.

But will history fully repeat itself? I don't think so, at least I've become much more clear-headed this time. Instead of blindly chasing those brainless altcoins, it's better to focus on projects within the Ethereum ecosystem that truly have community backing and cultural depth. These projects often come with inherent topics and virality, not just fake hype built on marketing.

The key is to think: in a bull market, what easily rises to the surface are always things that make people smile or resonate emotionally. Pure code and whitepapers? Leave those to institutions to study. Retail investors still need to rely on narratives, consensus, and that intangible faith to make money.

So next time you're choosing coins, ask yourself: does this project have a soul? If not, just let it go with the wind.
