Recently, I came across an interesting perspective: truly long-lasting MEME coins never appear out of nowhere.

Let's look at the data. DOGE was launched in 2013 and has accumulated 11 years of community consensus. SHIB, on the other hand, experienced the bull and bear cycles of 2021. The reason these two coins have persisted until now is not because of advanced technology, but because time has ingrained community approval into their very core. Compared to projects that "skyrocket in three days and disappear in a week," they are like fireworks in a bull market—spectacular to watch but quickly fading into history.

Why is time so valuable? Because any genuine consensus requires testing. Continuous development, authentic community participation, and ongoing narrative building are lessons that quick projects cannot learn.

Looking at Musk-related themed coins now, they have been established for nearly 700 days, with a development cycle exceeding 23 months. In the world of MEME, surviving more than two summers is already quite rare. Community autonomy evolving from hype to real implementation is not just a price story but an ecosystem story.

The investment logic is simple: instead of chasing "flash-in-the-pan" projects with unverified code, look for opportunities in long-standing coins like PEPE and DOGE. The true essence of MEME investing is recognizing those who refuse to give up even when they are not favored.

What do you think? Is historical accumulation really the key factor for MEME coins?
