The End of Meme Coin Mania: Why 10,000x Gains Are a Thing of the Past

[AMEBOIBADAN]

In my opinion, I believe the time for making massive gains (10,000x) on meme coins has passed, and the meme coin hype is dead. For months, I haven't seen any meme coin performing well, except for those related to AI. The others seem stagnant, only maintained by the influence of whale investors.
Doge, Shiba Inu, and BabyDoge were successful due to their popularity and widespread recognition. If I were to invest in meme coins this year, I'd consider buying more Shiba Inu or exploring new and solid projects like HIVE AI (BUZZ), which combines AI agents and also participating in the Solana AI Hackathon.
To anyone considering investing in meme coin projects, I strongly advise you to 'Do Your Own Research' (DYOR). Do you have a contrary opinion about memecoins?

[Mr. Magkaisa]

       -      This is always very effective, especially if we do this with our investments, or even if we see a new project that rises in the crypto space,
this can help a lot and everyone in the crypto community knows that.

Now, for me, this bull season is really the meme coin season of this era, because there is no real bull run momentum yet, but many meme coins have risen,
especially in the year 2024.

Why are you surprised, this is the nature of the market, every period of time there is a trend in the market that achieves big numbers and then fades away, meme coins are one of them.

They made a big splash in the market for a while and some meme coins made fantastic profits but I think that time is over, maybe there is a meme coin by chance that achieves some success through the influence of indicators and celebrities but I haven't noticed any for a long time.

Investing in memecoins can either bring riches or tears...so I am saying good luck to anyone who can be brave enough to wade the waters. To be honest, many people are drawn to memecoins all because they are expecting to get a lot of gains which other more known coins could not give them. From time to time, we hear of investments in memecoins that get ROI of not just x10 but also x1000 and yes even more. Memecoins are all appealing to greed that is all present in all of us most especially the retail investors. I don't usually recall big financial institutions that got invested with new memecoins they way they treat Bitcoin...in most cases new projects are propped up by small investors who are looking for big gains. In 2025, am still sure that memecoins will be on the news and there can be some rare memecoin projects that may give us x10,000 gain but they can be getting rarer.

       -      Many things that have suddenly become trendy in the crypto space market have suddenly made waves in this industry field. Another meme coin has suddenly been listed on the top exchanges. That means there are still many crypto hunters who see meme coins that will suddenly increase their price in the market.

That also means that these meme coins are also possible because they did good marketing, which is why the popularity of these coins suddenly spread out.
But at the end of the day still we should be more vigilant on this matter anyway.

It seems like we are just unlucky, my friend, the fact is that there are still tokens that have generated more than 1000% in the last 7 days in January 2025... it is true, tokens with crazy performance are very difficult to predict, so it takes luck or insider information to achieve it...

Getting big profits in an instant is indeed not easy, because we see so many tokens circulating, from new tokens to old tokens that are almost dead... sometimes the chances of getting a gain of up to thousands of% are too random, so it's really hard to guess...

Buying all the memecoins? That's great, but it takes a lot of money and I think it's a little stupid. So that you don't get hurt when you buy the wrong memecoin, then lower your expectations for the memecoin, it will help you not get hurt too much.

If you've been here on this market space then you would be definitely be having that kind of consideration on trying to look up on whats the current trend. We do know that meme coin mania is still continuing because if you do really look up on decentralized exchangers on which there are really those people who do love on dealing up with meme coins on which basing up into the volume then we can really be able to tell that there's so much interest. We do know that when it comes to potential gains then it will really be giving out that chance of 10k times of your initial investment or simply can make up that kind of profit. So it will really be that ideal that you should be that investing on what you can afford to lose and of course you shouldnt be expecting that everything will be basing up into several factors about success.

I understand your optimism about the current bull season being the meme coin season, but I still maintain that the hype around meme coins has died down significantly. While it's true that some meme coins have seen a surge in 2024, I believe this is more of a niche phenomenon rather than a widespread trend. Moreover, the lack of real bull run momentum, as you mentioned, makes me skeptical about the long-term sustainability of these gains. Nevertheless, I appreciate your contrarian view and would love to hear more about the meme coins you're bullish on

I understand your point, and I agree that there are still tokens that have generated significant gains in the short term. However, my argument is that the likelihood of making massive gains (10,000x) on meme coins is much lower now compared to the past. The market has become increasingly saturated, and the hype around meme coins has died down.

While it's true that some tokens may still generate significant gains, I believe that these instances are becoming fewer and farther between. Moreover, as you mentioned, getting big profits in an instant is indeed not easy and often requires luck or insider information.

I appreciate your advice on managing expectations and not getting hurt by buying the wrong memecoin. That's a prudent approach, and I would add that doing your own research (DYOR) is also crucial in navigating the meme coin space.

I appreciate your insight and perspective on the current state of the meme coin market. You make a valid point about the continued interest in meme coins, as evidenced by their trading volumes on decentralized exchanges.

However, I still maintain that the likelihood of achieving massive gains (10,000x) on meme coins is much lower now compared to the past. While it's true that some meme coins may still offer significant returns, I believe that these instances are becoming increasingly rare.

Your advice on investing only what one can afford to lose is spot on, and I couldn't agree more. It's essential for investors to be cautious and realistic about their expectations, especially in a market as volatile as cryptocurrency.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I'm happy to continue the discussion!

       -     I just want to ask you, op, have you ever invested in meme coins and your profit increased by 10,000x? Because it's hard to find that kind of hype for a meme coin. And I don't think I've ever seen anything like that where the price increased by 10,000x in the market.

But that's okay, I hope you can apply that Dyor because it can help you a lot as an investor in the crypto space we're in, mate.

Memes are usually getting their creams after the alt season, so we are not done there yet and still lots of them getting these big X's on them, it's just that there are so many nowadays that you can't know which one would be a good one.

This is not real, it is manipulation, the trading volumes of these tokens are less than $10 million so it is most likely that there is a manipulation of the supply where 1% of the supply is listed on the platform and speculated on for $2 million and then we will get a very high market capacity while the trading volumes are low, in other words they are wasting from a very low price, they are pumping the price and there is no liquidity to sell these tokens. Any token that is pumped like this and with a trading volume of less than a billion is a scam.

[bitterguy28]

Do you have a contrary opinion about memecoins?

no i agree with you that we should do better research on the memecoins we will invest in since not many in fact only very few will be giving us that quick profit memecoins are very popular for but one thing i will say though is that i have seen memes from tiktok or x to be turned into tokens and they immediately reach high marketcaps only to crash as quickly as it rose so yes there are still memecoins though very very few that would gain a lot but the timing is so risky to get right you basically also need to be online all the time to always be updated in recent memes and be the first ones to get there

[RustyDegen]

Weird seeing you call memecoins solid projects lol. There's nothing really special about the BUZZ meme you mentioned apart from the fact that it will be part of the solana hackathon. Besides the price is kinda good for a meme, not outstanding tho. Just check the chart Bitget warning [nofollow]  )/spot/BUZZUSDT] here[/url]
