Are You Trying to Be Right—Or Trying to Win?
That playbook is dead.
Let’s rewind the clock.
In 2021, utility was king.
Narratives were centered around infrastructure.
Every Twitter space, every VC podcast, every thread was asking:
“What’s the next Ethereum?”
And the market answered.
$SOL went 100x
$AVAX printed generational wealth
$FTM gave traders wild asymmetric returns
It made sense.
The strategy was clear:
Bet on Layer 1s.
Accumulate early.
Let the tech narrative mature.
VCs were piling in.
Retail followed the breadcrumbs.
Smart money was backing foundations, ecosystems, and developer activity.
You were rewarded for thinking long-term.
You were rewarded for making rational bets in a cycle that respected fundamentals.
But now?
That playbook is dead.
2025 Is the Meme Coin Era
Not because it’s logical.
Not because it’s the “right” thing.
Not because it makes any rational economic sense.
But because in this market,
liquidity flows where attention goes.
And right now?
Attention is tribal, fast, and emotional.
This is the age of:
TikTok-fueled FOMOs
Influencer-driven pump wars
Community memetics that act like micro-cults
Traders chasing volatility, not value
You’re watching digital casino psychology in real-time.
Meme coins aren’t just coins anymore.
They’re vehicles for:
Capital rotation
Social leverage
Liquidity traps
Exit strategies for insiders
And if you don’t understand that,
You’re already behind.
You Can Hate It—Or You Can Adapt
You can sit there and be the “rational trader.”
You can scoff at memes.
You can stick to your alt L1 bags and say,
“This is real technology.”
Cool.
But while you’re doing that,
The smartest players are already flipping 10x, 20x, even 50x gains—
on projects with zero utility,
zero roadmap,
but massive narrative velocity.
You’re not early unless you’re uncomfortable.
Because being early never feels “smart.”
It feels risky.
It feels stupid.
It feels like you’re doing something wrong.
That’s the point.
By the time it makes sense,
it’s already over.
So Ask Yourself This:
Are you trying to be right,
or are you trying to win?
The market doesn’t reward “smart.”
It rewards adaptive.
If you want to survive this cycle,
You need to:
✅ Track liquidity, not logic
✅ Follow narratives, not fundamentals
✅ Learn to ride emotion, not reason
✅ Rotate fast, without ego
✅ Play the trend, not your opinion
This isn’t 2021.
This isn’t Layer 1 season.
This is attention season.
And attention doesn’t care about your thesis.
