anyone who’s telling you crypto isn’t coming back just hasn’t been in the game long enough
will we ever get another memecoin run exactly like 2024? or a another Trump coin?
no,(not identically),dynamics of the game have gotten so efficient that with the current tools we use won’t allow for the same euphoria.
but the next major run will just look different to what were used to.
best comparison i can make is Fortnite when
it first came out, everyone was a noob, learning how to play the game, then 18 months later we had professional Fortnite players that did it for a living.
market will always trend towards efficiency, and we see that in the trenches everyday. 2024 rawdog Phantom swapping -> 2025 terminal trading > 2026 multi walleting bundling > ect. The truth is, every update is just like a game. new skills, new things to adapt to. don’t hate that you can’t play the “original” version of the game anymore, it is what it is.
i didn’t get into memecoins to buy and flip coins from 10k market cap, to sell them at 30k. i just think it’s really boring, yet this has become the most efficient way to play the game.
saying that, i think we’re due for an entirely new game within the next 18 months or so. mainly due to AI. we saw glimpses of this at the end of 2024/ start of 2025, with the mini AI szn we had on SOL. With 99% of the most larp projects ever going to hundreds of millions in market cap.
we even saw it at the start of this year with a mini Base szn with the likes of Moltbook going from 0-120m in a couple days, and even Ralph/Gas Town going to relatively high valuations while the coin was basically built off nothing.
yet none of these models were perfect as it was just begging traditional developers to “claim fees bro” on some random coin he has nothing to do with. i’m also not saying were stuck to bidding AI larps to make money, memecoins will still be at the forefront of younger generations to come. just in a different format imo.
my main point from all of this is that: markets and opportunities change rapidly. don’t get discouraged that the game you were used to is harder to play. there is a new game just on the horizon, and it will be a lot crazier than the last.
