the trenches have seen basically every narrative and catalyst possible besides maybe very, very rare unique gems
nothing is novel anymore. Elon rt, pfp or even pinned tweet, pmarca support, trump/White House interactions, viral AI agents, basically every type of tek play, VC backings…the list goes on
any of these catalysts or narratives basically just top lower and lower and retrace quicker and quicker each time
return to memes and betting on teams, at least until market froth comes back (if ever). memes and being able to bet and believe in teams longterm is what built memecoins. it’s what onboarded normies and liquidity, causing the above (washed) narratives and catalysts to actually do anything.
I think even if the market was strong and not in a pretty brutal bearish period, these old repetitive narratives would still be struggling. plus, in the bear is when a lot of the strongest memecoin communities were built previously, which as I said, are what led to the real on-chain bull market later on.
feels like it’s time to just find teams/coins you like because of the meme or team, not because of potential catalysts or “betting on Elon interacting” or other bullshit. bring back believing in a coin for the coin. bring back bagworking, long term holding, bidding dips, onboarding people.

@himgajria @NotMrVinnyChase @kwisatz_crypto You didn’t give 58% supply to 67inufnf that’s so wrong for the trenches

@kwisatz_crypto I just bought $10k worth of it.
Didn’t look at the supply.
I’ll give a chunk of it away though.
Truth terminal style.

Creator fees need change.
When Dynamic Fees V1 was introduced a few months ago, the goal was to help create more success cases in our ecosystem by giving top project founders and teams a strong incentive to launch their token on pump fun and drive it to success.
Only a week later, the potential of the mechanism showed: more and more creators - many of which have never touched a crypto app before - began organically launching coins and streaming on the platform. The Streaming meta created some of the best onchain conditions of 2025, doubling activity by more than 2x, as evidenced by the below chart showing pump fun bonding curve volumes (in USD).
However, it wasn’t sustainable, and it exposed critical issues within the platform.
While creator fees are a game changer for Project Tokens (those with well-defined active teams, rather than communities) they failed to meaningfully change the behavior of the average memecoin token deployer.
Therefore, creator fees may have skewed the incentive for users to engage in low-risk activity (coin creation) instead of high-risk activity (trading), which is dangerous, because traders are the lifeblood of the platform.
Pump fun’s mission is to create the best possible environment for coins to thrive, and successful tokens are much more likely to come about in an environment where traders are incentivized to participate in the market, provide liquidity, create volume, and take risk.
Furthermore, Creator Fees on the platform have lacked utility. Many narratives could use Creator Fees to raise the ceiling for that project by, for example, sending the fees to a notable person that is related to the narrative and onboard them to the community e.g. White Whale, rainbowfish, etc. The platform so far fails at providing a good user experience here, oftentimes requiring users to CTO coins, trust other people to fulfill their promises, etc.
So, to summarize our analysis:
- Creator Fees are a great tool to incentivize high-quality Project Tokens. Perhaps they require tweaking, and perhaps other protocol adjustments are needed to create an optimal environment for Project Tokens to thrive, but Dynamic Fees V1 was undoubtedly a directionally correct step for these kinds of token projects
- Creator Fees can be used in a variety of ways to significantly improve the token’s investability but require better UX
- Many tokens, however, don’t need Creator Fees, and this results in a more uneven playing field, where memecoin creation was incentivized too much instead of memecoin trading.
Major changes are coming. I can’t say too much yet, but as always, pump fun will take a market-based approach, and let traders decide whether a narrative truly deserves Creator Fees, and how those should be used.
There will be more communications coming from me soon about what we’re building and the future of $PUMP
I’m extremely excited for what 2026 holds.

creators fees need a change - here’s the first of many to come in the near future: introducing creator fee sharing - share fees with up to 10 wallets - transfer coin ownership - revoke update authority more updates coming soon 👇🏻

I asked Chatgpt about the evergreen memes and this is what it said:
Here are the memes that stay famous and keep returning.
These numbers are based on public platform metrics, yearly search volume ranges, and repost activity.
They are estimates, not exact counts.

• Search volume stays in the tens of millions per year
• Strong activity across TikTok and YouTube
• Evergreen because new users meet the character every year
Wojak
• Reach above 200 million users across X, Reddit, Telegram and crypto circles
• Daily usage in crypto communities keeps the meme refreshed
• Evergreen inside internet culture because new variants appear nonstop
Pepe the Frog
• Reach above 300 million users
• Huge presence in crypto, gaming, streaming and meme pages
• The face has thousands of variants
• Evergreen because the character works for any emotion
Kermit
• Reach around 150 million users
• Strong presence on Instagram and TikTok
• Reaction images keep the meme active through daily posting
• Evergreen because reactions never fade
Doge
• Reach above 400 million people
• Strong presence through Dogecoin, Shiba, Floki and other coins
• The face is simple and easy to remix
• Evergreen because the meme runs in both crypto and normal meme pages
SpongeBob

• Many formats across every platform
• Memes use scenes, screenshots, quotes and faces
• Evergreen because the show keeps circulating worldwide
Trollface

Why these stay evergreen

Once we focus on sending maybe 5-10 coins super high, then we can start some type of healing.
Or else We will be stuck here forever.
I keep saying we need to focus and send SOMETHINGS to billions.
Look around. This shit is fucking ASS.
Our Space needs to lock-in man. From founders to traders , we need to fuckin do better.
No one wants to believe in SHIT anymore man.
Im trying my best to help bring that culture back man.
Sick of what the trenches has become, but i will do all I can to help.

印象里每次行情从简单模式转换的时候,都会出现大量看空币圈的言论,我倒是觉得比起过度悲观,更重要的是尽早认识到币圈的周期性。
要真说枯,从2月米莱发币到6月,比最近枯多了,如果现在对币圈感到绝望,那时候应该更绝望,但后来依然出现了DAT公司带动ETH主升浪、XPL理财理着理着本金翻倍、BSC接力SOL成为Meme主阵地等机会,还有X402,ICM这些热点。
大到BTC的四年减半,小到各类叙事带动的局部行情,没有币会一直涨,也没有周期会一直处于上升阶段。
而绝大部分人,是不具备影响周期的能力的,认清这一点,就能意识到,学会适应周期就是最优解,流动性充沛的时候就多投入精力多抓机会,觉得行情难玩了就及时止盈控制好风险,倒没有必要动不动就产生极端情绪。
无人问津处心怀希望,人声鼎沸时保持冷静,“生命像海浪一样有时高有时低,你是否告诉自己坚强渡过各种时期”。
