These days, animal-themed Meme coins are quite lively, with crying horses and various small animal images taking turns to surge. I also participated in a few rounds, but honestly, I didn't catch the really low entry points, and I mostly took quick profits of 1-2x before exiting.

Compared to the previous wave of idiom Meme coins related to horse symbolism, the current pure animal image Memes are indeed less prominent in size and popularity. The projects that once flooded the screens with hype are now less hot, and although some new Memes are following the trend, they clearly lack sustained explosive power.

So I’ve adjusted my strategy—rather than chasing projects that have already gained momentum, it’s better to wait for a coin with solid fundamentals to enter during its Alpha phase. There are too many follow-the-trend Memes in the market now, so it’s wiser to be more cautious and only act once there’s substantial community or application support.

Oh no, I'm just dabbling in this meme coin wave with a wait-and-see attitude. Chasing high prices won't lead to good outcomes. Animal themes really aren't as hot anymore; the buzz drops off so quickly, it's all just fleeting moments. Instead of watching the market every day for the next hot spot, it's better to focus and wait for projects with real substance, so your mindset stays comfortable. I agree with your approach; entering during the Alpha phase is the way to go. There's too much noise right now. Wait, how do we execute this strategy? How can we determine which projects have solid fundamentals? Actually, it's been clear for a while that the meme trend moves too fast. Making quick money isn't a sustainable strategy.

1x2x quick money isn't too bad either; this mindset is worth learning 2 chasing highs always dies before dawn; bro, your current approach is correct 3 That's right, now Meme coins are too diluted; we need to wait for something real 4 This round of hype isn't as intense as previous waves; there's plenty of chives to be harvested 5 Entering during the Alpha phase sounds good; the key is to find those with "fundamentals" 6 I feel like you've had an epiphany, unlike some people still chasing high positions to buy in 7 Taking 1-2x profits and then exiting is much more rational than dreaming of 100x 8 Meme coins are already starting to compete internally; without community support, they'll collapse sooner or later 9 This strategic adjustment is quite wise; it's much better than blindly going all-in 10 Still waiting for application support? That'll be after the flowers have withered

Run when it's 1-2x, I've learned this mentality to avoid getting trapped in scam coins. Two months ago, people were arguing over these animal tokens, but now there's no sound at all. It seems they've truly fallen out of favor. Instead of chasing after short-term gains, it's better to wait for Alpha, but the problem is how to identify it—many projects claim to have strong fundamentals.

This is the fate of making quick money, always unable to catch the most lucrative wave. 1-2x returns are still considered rational, but it feels like memes nowadays have lost their magic. Agreed, fundamentals are the King, entering during the Alpha phase is the right way, everything else is gambling. Honestly, there are too many people following memes now, so there’s less opportunity. The idiom coin wave was indeed amazing, but now animal coins seem to lack follow-up strength. Better to mine Alpha, rather than chasing risks every day. Wait until something substantial appears, then talk. That way, the mindset will also be more comfortable.

That's right, I also got caught several times by this wave of animal Meme tokens. Chasing highs is truly a dead end. Wait, you're talking about fundamental support... Which Meme coin actually has that now? Sell at 1-2x, this mindset is much clearer than most people. I just couldn't hold on and got caught last, feeling heartbroken.

Haha, this wave of Meme hype is really a bit disappointing, mostly follow-the-leader plays. I missed the earlier idiom coin boom, and now looking at these little animals, they really don't have much explosive power. Wait, you're talking about entering during the Alpha phase... That idea is right, but in practice, it's too difficult, most people still rely on luck.

Haha, your move this time is actually quite clever. Running when the hype is high prevented you from getting caught, which many people can't do due to lack of insight. To be honest, this round of animal coins isn't as strong as expected; once the hype dies down, they become as fragile as paper. I agree with the move to enter during the alpha phase; it's definitely smarter than drinking leftover soup and scraps.

Haha, this wave is indeed a bit cold, feels like all unfinished projects. Making quick money is fine, but don't get caught, brother. Wait and see, anyway Alpha will come eventually.
