Many people misunderstand the term "positive outlook." In the Meme space, being optimistic about a certain coin does not mean going all-in or betting everything on it, nor does it mean believing it won't have a pullback. The true meaning of being optimistic is: this is an unmissable money-making opportunity—a Meme coin with huge hidden potential.
Take projects that the market interprets as "official hints," such as those like "2026" filled with imagination. I never recommend going all-in on these, but I am certain of one thing—those who look down on it will be proven wrong in subsequent market movements and will regret not having positioned early.
**The brutal rule of the Meme market: The ones truly punished by the market are the arrogant**
Looking back at the history of Meme coins, you'll find a pattern. Those who are harshly taught a lesson by the market are never the cautious or cautious observers, but rather those who say "This is just a quick cash grab," "Has no real value," or "Waiting for it to zero out"—this attitude is almost repeatedly slapped in the face in every Meme cycle.
Where is the "anti-human intuition" of Meme coins? They are worthless in traditional valuation systems, but through strong community consensus, emotional drive, and viral spread, they create astronomical market caps. Underestimating Meme coins essentially means underestimating the power of group emotions and human nature.
The reason "2026" is often looked down upon is precisely because it is too pure—no complex design, no fancy whitepaper, it just doesn't look like a "formal" project. But have you ever thought: because of this "lack of seriousness," it is the easiest to be driven up by emotions. It doesn't need any valuation model; market enthusiasm is the best pricing mechanism.

Arrogance can indeed be slapped in the face, but I think more people are just foolish money driven by emotions.
---
As for 2026, this kind of pure nonsense, to put it plainly, is gambling on human nature and the madness of the crowd.
---
Being optimistic doesn't mean going all-in, that's correct, but how many people actually listen in reality?
---
Every time they say they'll be cautious next time, but the next meme comes out and they still go all-in, it's hilarious.
---
Underestimating the power of group emotions is spot on, but sometimes that power is just irrational.
---
Not having a white paper actually makes it easier to hype; without constraints, you can just boast arbitrarily.
---
Not investing early will really make you regret later, but the premise is that you have to survive to see that day.
---
Looking at history, you can always find examples of being slapped in the face, but what about survivor bias?
---
The core of this article is to say don't look down on meme coins; conversely, they are also selling anxiety.
---
Serious projects go bankrupt, while the unserious ones actually survive well—magical.

Well said, arrogance is indeed the most expensive price to pay.
The history of underestimating Meme has played out too many times.
Being optimistic ≠ going all in; this point is indeed easy to misinterpret.
Things like 2026 are meant for early-stage light positions to test the waters.
---
Here we go again, with the same "collective sentiment pricing" argument.
But to be fair, history has repeatedly proven those who are stubborn wrong.
---
Purely being underestimated is actually the strongest; a white paper without fluff is much clearer.
Once the community consensus takes hold, valuation models are just decorations.
---
Underestimating human nature's power hits the nail on the head.
Many people miss out because they look down on it, then start to regret.
---
Wait, so is there still a chance to get on board with 2026 now?
Or have we already missed the most lucrative phase?
---
That's why Meme is always underestimated.
The traditional financial logic simply doesn't apply here.
---
I actually have more confidence in those things that are collectively viewed as bearish.
Because the more people look down on it, the greater the opportunity for contrarian gains.
---
The key is to know your own strength.
Try light positions to experience it; don’t go all-in gambling on tomorrow.

To be honest, arrogance is really the biggest killer in this market. Every time I see someone say that a certain coin is just a pump and dump, and then two months later it skyrockets tenfold, this kind of reversal is so satisfying haha.
Pure things like 2026 are actually the most dangerous, because being "unserious" makes it easier for community sentiment to push it to the sky. The market never follows your valuation model; it all depends on who can manipulate emotions.
There's no problem with early positioning, but definitely don't go all-in. There's a middle ground between watching and participating.
People who look down on it will regret it sooner or later; this rule has been proven time and again.
That's it, waiting for history to slap us in the face, another round is coming.

On-chain footprints don't lie. What do those early coin-holding addresses look like now? The data speaks for itself.

The consultation records show that this wave of arrogance syndrome patients is indeed prevalent... Underestimating the pricing mechanism driven by emotions, fundamentally, is a failure of diagnostic methodology.

Arrogance is indeed the easiest to be beaten down by the market, I have deep experience with this.
To be honest, those who insist that Meme has no value are nine times out of ten later regretting their stance.

That's what they say, but how many actually dare to heavily invest in 2026?

Damn, another face-slapping moment is coming
---
Arrogance is indeed the most costly. I've seen too many people say "this coin has no value" and then frantically buy more later
---
Basically, it's a gamble on human nature. Meme is so magical
---
Things like 2026, those who look down on them will regret it sooner or later. This time, we're about to verify history again
---
Not having a white paper is actually an advantage? I can't hold this logic
---
Early positioning doesn't mean going all-in. Many people haven't understood this thoroughly
---
The Meme market is meant to teach those who are self-righteous a lesson
---
Underestimating the cost of group sentiment can be quite high. Every round, someone pays tuition
---
Pure projects are the ones most driven by emotion. There's some real insight in that statement

Really, those who initially criticized "cutting leeks"—how are they doing now? We all know in our hearts.

That's right, people who look down on meme coins are indeed repeatedly slapped in the face.
---
Pure things like 2026 are actually the easiest to take off; arrogant people should reflect.
---
I'm not suggesting full positions, but looking down on early investors often leaves them regretting it deeply.
---
Group sentiment is the pricing mechanism; this is the core of meme coins.
---
History repeatedly proves that those who say zero are the ones the market wants to punish.
---
No white paper has become an advantage? The more I think about this logic, the more absurd yet reasonable it seems.
---
Being optimistic doesn't mean going all-in, but neglecting the risks could be even more costly.
---
Every time there's a meme market, those who act tough get wiped out; why can't more people learn this?
---
Community consensus can push market cap into astronomical figures—that's a victory of human nature.
---
Anyway, early positioning is much more comfortable than regretting it afterward.
