Recently, I followed the trend and bought a popular MEME coin with a market cap of around 3.2 million (personal record, not investment advice).

Why did I participate? The reason is actually quite simple:

First, this coin was mentioned by an KOL during a live stream on a major exchange — it’s the kind of concept with memes and hype. Second, it was the first MEME coin to gain popularity on that platform’s square, and the hot trend really took off. Plus, it quickly reached a market cap of 5 million, then stabilized around 3 million, indicating that the fundamentals might have indeed stabilized. This way, breaking new highs later could have more room for imagination.

Recently, I bought some at the bottom, just to gamble on whether I can catch the wave. After all, in the crypto world, you either miss out or get rich quick — there’s hardly an in-between.

I’ve been paying attention to Web3 community updates. Some lucky ones really do encounter tenfold opportunities, though the chances are slim. But since I’ve entered this circle, I guess I have to have a gambling mentality.

3.2 million market cap sideways, this pace is a bit slow --- KOL mentions it once and dares to go all-in, truly a brave warrior --- Whether it can reach a new high depends on how long the subsequent hype can last --- Taking a gamble with the right mindset, just worried about betting in the wrong direction --- This bottom-fishing move, nine times out of ten, is like catching a flying knife --- This kind of MEME coin is all about emotions; fundamentals don't really matter --- Wait, stabilizing at 3 million is just the fundamentals stabilizing? Maybe overthinking it --- I've seen tenfold increases, but more often it's a total loss of capital --- I agree that there is no middle ground; it's a game of losing more and earning less --- Betting at the forefront of the trend is just routine operation in the crypto circle

3.2 million market cap dares to chase, the courage is really big The gold coins in the KOL's mouth are nine out of ten times a trap for the bagholders Bottom fishing? Just sideways movement is called stable fundamentals, this logic is brilliant Breaking new highs has unlimited potential, what to do when hitting the floor That's how the crypto world is, gambler mentality disguised as an investment philosophy

3.2 million market cap dares to buy the dip, buddy, your mentality is really bold Can a KOL's one sentence influence the market? I didn't expect that either What drives new highs? Is it really fundamentals or just luck? Hearing about tenfold increases is just talk, don't really believe those hype stories How long has this coin been sideways? Has it not rebounded yet?

Haha, this is the true source of happiness in the crypto world—chasing hype and trends, and in the end, chasing illusions. I saw this wave too; when KOLs hype, the price skyrockets. It's definitely the era of voting with your feet. Whether it hits a new high or drops to zero, it all depends on luck. I understand the mentality of bottom-fishing anyway, just playing with spare money. Honestly, nine out of ten people playing MEME tokens end up losing money. Your honest attitude is quite refreshing. It's either the "hot trend" theory or the "tenfold return" dream. I've heard these arguments too many times. Sideways trading just means waiting for the fundamentals to stabilize? That logic doesn't quite hold up, buddy. In Web3 communities, those who make ten times returns are all survivor bias. Most probably got wrecked. Keeping a record is good; at least you won't forget this lesson after losing.

Ha, it's that gambler's mentality story again Buying the dip, buying the dip, and in the end, all bought at the bottom Those that multiplied tenfold are all survivor bias; the ones you can't see have already lost everything
