no matter how hard you try to make money trading memecoins, it all comes down to emotions. being able to stay calm and stoic after both wins/losses will make you way more money than obsessively trying to get an edge in the market. if you can’t control your emotions while trading every dollar you make will be wiped out until you detach yourself from the money.

@TheShamdoo meme season man. everyone's a winner.

lol how is everyone making $30k a day trading memes, who’s losing the money

@AjiTae888 Dude you there?

Mission success!

@AjiTae888 you posted on goatcoin that CTO is a scammer. any proof of it?

Someone in crypto can grind for months Lose hundreds of hours of sleep Get rugged 27 times Go broke Go insane and still wake up believing that the future will be amazing

irony. trenches is all for the little guy making it big. yet current runner is a whale. full on whale.

I got in touch with the OG dev via DM and he responded. what's the hold up fellas?

@biznez_ @Pumpfun @bonkfun trying to get in touch with you mate.... dropped you a message

I was thinking lately about the state of the trenches and I have some thoughts on solving some of the current issues from a technical perspective for @pumpfun, @bonkfun or any other platform that wants to listen. Vamping: To help solve common vamps such as image vamps, name vamps, there is ways that these could have been mitigated a long time ago if platforms took stronger action. Commonly people will deploy the same coin with another image, name/ticker combo, or volume will rotate to 15 different tickers vs consolidating into one Most of these common vamps could be mitigated with having holder percentage governance for things such as metadata updates for example all SPL tokens on pump or bonk are deployed with metadata updates being immutable but if they set the metadata receiver to a centralized wallet or program, and users for example could go on the pumpfun page of the coin, and there was a "governance section", where users could propose updates to the metadata as a governance proposal, and users could vote based on the percentage they hold of the coin if more then 51% of the float has agreed on a proposal the update happens. This is a simple yet effective change because it could be as common as paying dex that users go to the governance section to vote on a update, and people won't try to vamp because they know holders will go to vote right away if a vamp is "valid", and the original token will change its metadata state, meaning a new logo and name combo could be replaced on the same token. Back in 2023 on ETH tokens didnt have built in metadata, they wouldnt spawn with a logo and links, it would be in the smart contract code at the top, so thats why paying Dextools or Dexscreener became common and where they started. This could solve majority of common vamps, other then platform vamps such as pump-bonk. Multi Wallets, Bundling: This is a harder problem to solve, but back in the day on eth it would be common for most launches to start with a 2% max wallet, and this could be done I think with token2022 transfer hooks, which pumpfun already switched to token2022 when they rolled out mayhem mode I believe (Mayhem Mode was not what I thought they were rolling out lol, I feel most of these platforms need to learn more from the history of the space in 2021-2023 pre launchpads) You could have max wallets of 2% at the start pre bonding, back in the day devs would "lift limits and renounce" at a higher market cap to avoid more bots, multi wallets were still a thing back then (banana gun, maestro, customs) Though obviously people would use more wallets instead, it would still reduce the issues, and distribution would change, possibilities also around slot delay gradually reducing. Fees: As many have discussed reduction of creation fees, or back to my first idea around a governance portal communities could manage where fees go, for example if the dev is not working or doing anything the community could vote to redirect fees, or just split between holders, all this is possible if any platform wants to step up. Though across the board overtime the fees charged from all platforms should be reduced significantly, on chain trading platforms charge the highest fees in the industry (launchpads, trading bots, etc). Overall I think the governance idea is interesting in a lot of different concepts and I have not seen anyone discuss this for memecoins really, the speed at which things can be proposed and voted on matter as well, as things move quick, it needs to be simple. Just some thoughts, I haven't posted in a bit and have not been as active. Timing is key in everything and the timing overall in the market is not right now.

2025 has been an interesting year. I’ve been in crypto for 8 years now, and 2025 has been by far the hardest year I have had. I went from a couple thousand in 2017 which I saved up from working at Pizza Hut, to $200K in 2018. I was instantly hooked. Even before I made money I was obsessed with crypto and knew I wanted to dedicate my life to it. Soon-after I quit my job and decided to focus on crypto full time I ran my portfolio back down to $10k. I realised very quickly I wasn’t special and that the market has a unique way of humbling those that get over confident. Nevertheless, I’d fallen in love with trading. Over the next few years I committed every waking moment to finding an edge and learning as much as I could. By Dec 2024, I’d turned my portfolio into $5M (initials of around $500k - I was very fortunate to get a job in crypto in 2018 which funded my trading). 2024 was my big year, I made a considerable amount of money in both my on-chain port and on majors. It felt like all the sacrifice (especially my social life) had been worth it. Friends and family soon started to notice and asked me to trade with some of their money. At the start of 2025, I ended up running a fund with a chunk of capital from friends, family, investors (in total around $2M). A mistake I regret massively to this day. Never take money for friends and family, no matter how certain they are of the risks, it’s not worth it. One of the biggest trades the fund took was $BELIEVE. While I’m okay with loosing money, I realised very quickly I couldn’t deal with the stress of loosing money for others. By mid November, they were down circa $500k unrealised. The stress was eating me alive. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, I stopped going to the gym. I became a shell of my former self. Early Dec I made the decision to close down the fund and give everyone their initial investment back. In total, I ended up losing over $2M in 2025. But more importantly I was completely fucked mentally. I say this because a lot of CT just show the wins. But in reality, 90% of the accounts you see on X are in a much darker place than you would think. You’re not alone. That being said I’m not going anywhere, lots of lessons have been learned this year both in my personal life and in trading. One thing I can promise, is no matter what I will never give up and I will win. I know many people can relate to the feeling of being mentally drained from trading this year. My advice is touch some grass. Opportunities are limited at the moment and there will always be more in the future. Spend time with your close ones (these relationships are far more important than any amount of money) and enjoy the holidays.

@100xgemfinder your post is 1 year late. try again.

you guys ever buy a coin at 15K MC, it goes up a little then drops to 7K MC so you sell for a loss. then you check several hours later and it’s at 10M 🥀

if looking to buy any coin for the 'long term' (3 months+): -don't buy a coin that has unlocks ongoing -don't buy a coin that is from an extinct narrative (ie. gaming) -buy a coin that still has mindshare in its sector (hype, pump, fartcoin, etc) -only buy old coins if they have some relevance (LINK) -be willing to incur drawdown if buying now -if buying for more than 1 year, only buy majors -each coin is different. if you're buying XPL you are buying -93% drawdown in 2 months, if you're buying hype you are buying pmf/team/leader, if you're buying BNB you are buying safety, if you're buying fartcoin you're buying momentum, etc. -Distinguish if it is a trade vs. an 'investment', where investments usually last longer -understand you are creeping more into fundamentals realm of front running a move (and predicting) vs. buying momentum on established runners. many more things to consider

If you wonder why CT is so depressed, well this is because most alts are trading significantly below FTX bankruptcy lows. I checked top200 tokens 3yrs ago & vs. where they are trading now: - Median perf. in USD: -58% - Median perf. in BTC: -92% Brutal...

Is it the most painful chart in finance right now? The "everything rally" is real - unless you're a crypto degen 😑

Crypto is not beginner-friendly. If you can’t afford losses, high volatility, or mental stress, this isn’t for you. As bad as it looks right now, crypto will never completely die. Just like during the dot-com era, around 80% of companies failed, yet Amazon, Google, and eBay survived and went on to define the modern economy. What to focus on is simple: coins that are profitable and generate revenue, coins that have buybacks, and coins with ETFs. These are some of the key factors your holdings should have in order to survive long term. If you hold only speculative coins (don’t get mad at me) like VANRY, GPU, VRA, and many others, it may be time to reconsider and make some changes. If you hold them with a small portion of your portfolio (for example, 2–3%) and you enjoy gambling on high-risk, high-reward plays, that’s your choice. But your main holdings should never be concentrated in these types of assets.

solana traders have been at an all time low this is the best time to refine your edge while others are being lazy lock in

the reason there will never be a retail onboarding to memecoins is frankly because the space is so preposterous we will take @ChillHouseSOL as an example imagine having to explain to an everyday human who doesn’t know a single thing about memecoins that- -people have invested thousands of dollars into a cartoon character with a house on its head -it has a multimillion dollar market cap -it is a deriv of another meme coin they haven’t heard of -the chillhouse character will tell you your money is going to 0 and to sell multiple times a day -it will say the n word every so often -it is now beefing with a law firm? like where do you even begin with that you just sound like a r*tard explaining it😭

Meme coins will always be superior to prediction markets because they have unlimited upside

Maybe one day we will get clarity on what really happened on 10/10 Because the market hasn’t been the same for 2+ months

@PerpetualCow @perpetualcow anything you found worth sharing?

Are there any good Hyperliquid related group chats for a cow like me to join? I will gladly share my daily supply of milk with the others. moo.

@vorstytrades @RipJalens Still forming my theories. but i think memecoins would be here to stay. question is whether it will surpass the high of q1 25 again.

@vorstytrades @RipJalens perhaps. not sure how much though. been thinking too, during q4 24 - q1 25 cycle lots of these tools were there. and traders were experienced. could also be a wave. flavoured coins. icos. nfts. memecoin (?). prediction markets (??).
