#数字资产动态追踪 Is the secret to getting rich with MEME coins really repeating itself?
Observe a phenomenon: every one or two years, an incredible surge story emerges on the blockchain.
In 2020, $DOGE skyrocketed by 160,000 times, becoming the legend of the first-generation retail investors. Then $SHIB took over, with a 260,000-fold increase continuing to break perceptions. By 2023, $PEPE and $FLOKI delivered market boosts of 80,000 times and 90,000 times respectively. Moving into 2024, $PNUT achieved a 30,000-fold jump.
The data is right here; it’s not just hype.
Now, the question becomes interesting: why MEME coins? Why these specific tokens? Is it really just luck behind it all, or is there a pattern?
Recently, on the Ethereum chain, the $PUPPIES (Elon Musk’s puppy meme) has reignited this topic. From its price performance, it has already experienced several significant surges. Many are discussing: could this be the next legend?
Honestly, the trend of MEME coins has obvious cyclicality. Around the start of each year, market sentiment is intensely released. Coupled with the technological support and trading convenience of public chains like Ethereum, these factors indeed provide a stage for these tokens to explode. But from 20,000 times to a million times, there are many variables in between—liquidity, community enthusiasm, external events, regulatory developments.
To participate, you need more than just timing the dip; you must also know when to fully retreat. The stories of MEME coins over the years tell us that getting rich quickly and losing everything often hinge on a single thought.
What the market in 2026 will look like depends on how the on-chain ecosystem evolves. But one thing is certain: the topic of MEME coins is far from over.

It's the same old story, just periodic profit-taking. I'll wait for the next real narrative to emerge.

Are you going to repeat the dream of getting rich again and again? I feel like this trick has been figured out long ago.

the paradigm of retail narrative capitalism disguised as randomness... one might argue the real aesthetic value proposition isn't in the tokens themselves but in our collective willingness to believe in cyclical redemption stories, no?

It's the same old story, always claiming there's a pattern, but in the end, it's just gambling with luck.
