How to Actually Win in Memecoins: Lessons from the 1% I’ve thought a lot about whether to write this. The truth is, I’ve been fortunate. I’m in the top 1% of people trading memecoins. I understand that 99% of people lose in this space. As tempting as it is to gatekeep, I’ve realized it’s more valuable to share what I’ve learned. This isn’t a get-rich-quick guide. This is a long-form breakdown of the actual strategies that helped me survive and thrive over the past year. Read it all, or don’t. But if you’re serious about understanding the game, this is for you. 1. Culture and Knowledge Are Everything When I first started trading, I was clueless. I didn’t know why things pumped. I didn’t understand what made a coin run, who the key players were, or what kind of narrative drove hype. Coins would go from $10K to $10M MC overnight, and I couldn’t explain why. That’s a problem. Your first job is to understand why every single coin runs. If a coin sends, ask: Was it because of a tweet? Who tweeted it? That person now matters. Follow them. Is it a culture coin? Some memes don’t make logical sense—until you see the narrative. For example, Housecoin made zero sense to me at first. But then I saw that big names like @LexaproTrader and @blknoiz06 were behind it. Their message? We can’t afford housing, so we’ll buy Housecoin instead. That’s a movement. It became a cult. That’s why it ran. Another example: Gork. It hit a $70M market cap. Why? Not just because Elon eventually interacted with it. Way before that, smart traders noticed it was being followed by core XAI employees. That was your early signal. That’s context. In this game, you can’t afford to be blind. Every runner has a reason. If you don’t know it, you’re not learning. 2. Wallet Tracking is a Tool — Not a Crutch Wallet tracking is powerful. But never copy trade blindly. That’s how you get dumped on. Let me break it down: Smart wallets (mine included) know they’re being tracked. If I buy at $5K MC and it instantly jumps to $10K because people follow me? That’s easy EL. If I offer you free money, would you take it? Of course. And that’s what’s happening. So don’t just follow wallets hoping to get rich. What should you do instead? Study how traders behave Watch what coins get consensus buys (especially above $100K–$200K MC) Learn from wallet behavior patterns The real edge in wallet tracking is finding unknown wallets. The public ones are overfished and tracked by bots. Your goal is to discover the sharp, under-the-radar players and watch them. Tracking known wallets isn’t worthless—it’s just a macro signal. Use it for trend confirmation, not for entries. 3. Every Trader Has a Style One of the best lessons I’ve learned is that no two elite traders are the same. Understanding their individual behavior gives you foresight. @Ga__ke Gake is a size buyer. He comes in when the coin is above $100K MC. If Gake buys your coin, it’ll likely rip. But for me, Gake is a late signal. If he’s in, I’ve missed the early multiple. So how do I front-run Gake? Ask: Is this coin good enough for Gake? If it is, and he hasn’t bought yet, I want in before he does. @Euris_x Euris is one of the best lore traders I’ve studied. He dominates low cap coins—mostly on Pump.fun. His strength? He’s a narrative hunter. He spends his time deep in fresh pairs, looking for meme potential and early cult vibes. He’s fast. Way faster than you. But you can learn what kind of lore he likes by observing his trades. The takeaway: don’t just track what someone buys. Understand why they buy. That’s how you build your own edge. 4. Have the Right Tools Let me be blunt: if you’re still using Phantom, you’re losing. This market is lightning fast. Narratives form and die in minutes. You need tools that give you speed, context, and execution. If you’re serious, here’s what you need: Axiom/Photon/Trojan/etc. Telegram bots for fast buying, deployer alerts, and wallet tracking Real-time dashboards that give you fresh pairs, wallet movements, and social context The people making 10x+ on a coin don’t just have better instincts—they have faster execution. The edge isn’t just knowledge. It’s reaction time. You don’t need to use every tool. But if you’re still clicking buttons manually on Phantom, you’re trading with a handicap. Equip yourself. Or get left behind. 5. Reset Your Portfolio Every Week — Don’t Size Up Too Early This is probably the most important advice I can give you once you start winning: Just because you went from 1 SOL to 100 SOL doesn’t mean you get to trade like you have 100 SOL. As a small fish, your job isn’t to ape with size. it’s to find a consistently winning strategy. That means staying small, resetting your mindset often, and preserving the capital you’ve worked hard to build. This game is hectic. It’s annoying. But if you let greed get to your head, it’s over. I’ve seen it dozens of times: Trader goes from 1 SOL → 100 SOL Starts buying with 10–20 SOL per play Gets emotionally attached, overexposed, makes a few bad entries Goes broke Even now, I don’t size up. I focus on sub-100K MC plays my personal cap is usually around 50K–100K MC. Yes, that means I miss a lot of runs. But you know what I don’t miss? Capital preservation. I stay in the game. Most people don’t talk about this. They glorify the 50x. But if you can’t hold onto your stack, the 50x means nothing. You’re not here to look cool on the timeline—you’re here to survive, learn, and stack W’s over time. Preserve your capital. That’s how you last long enough to actually become good. Closing Thoughts Memecoins aren’t fair. They’re chaotic, emotional, and brutally fast. But they are beatable—if you play the right game. Learn the culture. Track the right people. Study traders. Build a toolkit. Don’t chase. Understand. If nothing else, take this away: If you don’t know the why behind a coin, you don’t belong in it. This space is unforgiving. But if you’re willing to work, observe, and adapt it can be your edge. Good luck. Don’t fade the memes and remember no crying in the casino
