Recently, MEME tokens have sparked another wave of enthusiasm, with some making huge profits, but most becoming bag holders. After experiencing several "pitfalls," I want to share some lessons with everyone.



Why am I gradually distancing myself from these projects? There are four main reasons:

**Difficult to hold onto low positions**. Behind the seemingly crazy upward trend, very few retail investors actually get rich quick through MEME coins. Those who manage to hold onto gains at low levels are often project teams or big whales. Ordinary investors find it hard to grasp the rhythm accurately.

**Entry timing is always late**. These coins are phenomenon-level products, essentially driven by hype and dissemination. Most people see the market already inflated, with little profit margin left, making them more likely to get trapped at high levels.

**Fast pace makes it hard to control**. Most MEME coin traders are speculators, taking small profits and then running. They lack conviction support. This type of investment is more like gambling, relying on luck to achieve quick gains, with win rates far below expectations.

**Risks are asymmetric**. A common approach is: sell coins that are making money immediately, hold onto coins that are losing. Since investors often diversify across multiple projects, hoping to "catch a big fish" and turn things around, the result is usually most of them end up worthless.

Although I have stepped back from this field, I still wish everyone can catch some gold coins. For those who entered at low levels and exit immediately upon profit—you're actually right. Take profits when you can; after all, realized gains are the real ones. No one can be completely sure which is the goldfish and which is the fishing rod.

That's quite right, I've also fallen into traps. The key is attitude; greed ultimately leads to no good ending.

That's so true. I only realized this after being exploited myself. Essentially, it's gambling. Without faith, the game can't be played.

You're absolutely right, holding low positions is truly a death sentence. The chopping machine for new investors is always one step ahead of us; by the time we see the market, it's already been crushed. It's just gambling, nothing else—it's a game of more losses than wins. Running away with your money is the only way to go; don't expect a single fish to turn things around. This wave of MEME hype is just a trap set for new investors; seasoned traders are well aware of this. The套路 of Ponzi schemes is always the same, waiting to return to zero forever. Honestly, it's the project teams and big players who are harvesting; let's not deceive ourselves.

That's right, I've seen through it long ago, you just can't hold on at low levels.

You're so right, the most heartbreaking part is not holding on at the low points. Damn it, every time I only regret after seeing others make a fortune, why didn't I have the guts to hold on back then? This time they're going to harvest the leeks again, and a bunch of people are still dreaming.

It's heartfelt words. I've also fallen into traps before. Now I'm just watching the show.

That's so true. Holding at a low point is really a mental hurdle; that's how I got cut. To put it simply, MEME is gambling. If you don't have the luck, don't force it. Actually, the hardest part isn't choosing the coin, but deciding when to run. I always run too late. It's better to run with profit—this advice is solid. Compared to the dream of doubling, I trust this more now. It sounds like you've really lost money before. Sharing experiences like this is much more reliable than those boasting about getting rich quickly.

Really speaking, if you can't hold at low levels, don't mess around blindly. --- This wave of meme coins has once again taken a batch of leeks, not surprising. --- Relying on luck to make quick money, just listen and don't take it seriously. --- Losing everything and selling immediately when you make a profit, this mindset needs to change. --- Can't tell the difference between a goldfish and a fishing rod, in the end, nothing is left. --- Bottom-fishing depends on luck, not brains. I have given up. --- The pace is so fast that before takeoff, you're already trapped, really. --- When it reaches a phenomenal moment, you should run; even a one-second delay means taking the hit. --- Big players have already sold out, and we're still dreaming of a turnaround. --- Taking profit and running is correct; don't be greedy with this stuff.
