The meme coin ecosystem in the crypto world essentially consists of two types of species.

One I call "Fireworks." On Solana and BSC chains, the same show plays out every day—project teams hype up, retail investors rush in, a surge of skyrocketing prices, then crash to zero. These coins are usually valued below a billion dollars, with a short lifespan that never makes it to the main exchange homepage. Thousandfold gains in three days, zeroing out overnight, cycle repeats. When hot, thousands chase; when cooled, no one pays attention.

The other I call "The Great Wall." DOGE, SHIB, PEPE… these coins that have lasted until today, none of them were built on quick money and pump-and-dump schemes by whales. What have they gone through? Genuine consensus cultivation—no artificial manipulation, just a group of retail investors slowly accumulating, building brick by brick. No shortcuts to rapid rise; instead, their narratives naturally sediment over time. Because they are slow, they become the strongest moat. Ultimately, they survive multiple bear markets and stabilize at a hundred billion level.

Ironically, in this industry, "slow" has become a scarce commodity. Most people are still dreaming of instant wealth, unaware that this path has already been worn out.

Look at the current market—how many projects are still using old tricks—crazy marketing, celebrity endorsements, contract pump-and-dump. And then? Either they cut the leeks or get liquidated. The ones that truly survive are those that choose to root in the community and build steadily. They don’t chase short-term ups and downs, nor do they rely on hype to attract attention. Instead, they walk slowly with the community, trusting that time will prove everything.

The market is never short of stories about overnight riches. What’s missing are those who are truly willing to spend time and cultivate together. Fireworks will eventually fade, but the Great Wall can stand for a thousand years.

So I ask you—continue chasing the next short-term hot spot, or find a project truly worth staying with, and wait together for that moment when it slowly grows to a hundred billion?
