Bitcoin Forum

There's much discussion surrounding the current memecoin season. We've witnessed all the usual aspects of a crypto memecoin season: from speculative trading to numerous project launches and presales, along with a flurry of airdrops. Presently, speculative trading and presales are at the forefront. While airdrops like JUP and Wen have come and gone. We’ve even seen bigger projects like bitget introduce their own airdrop/ rewards programs with prizes for various activities such as registration, spot trading, and completing futures trading tasks.

At this point, we've experienced a wide range of events so far and comparing the current scenario to what I recall from the bullish market of 2021, it seems like we have encountered all that a memecoin cycle can offer. Consequently, I anticipate a direct transition to altcoin season. Any thoughts on this prediction? Or how much longer do you think this will last?

There has been lot of interest for #solana meme coins off late.

There's a chance of seeing new meme coins reaching the peaks which are unexpected. I believe in this cycle those high peaking meme coins could be the ones that are based of Solana blockchain. However, the market has still not seen the best performing meme-coin of this bull run so we will have to wait for it.

Not only meme coins but there could be a few alt-coins that may also reach huge peaks this bull run. We don't yet know those alt-coins or the meme-coins so for the moment we may only do speculation and nothing else. However, I'm sure that few of us will make good returns if we somehow pick the right ones.

The SOL ecosystem is attracting attention through memecoins, a series of projects appearing on the chain reaching mc > $1b.

While this has never been my priority in this space, I agree that when you're willing to accept things, there's no need to overcomplicate them.

Previously, we have seen famous memecoins like Shib, Pepe,... they operate ERC20 and also bring many effects. But in the coming years, users will favor accessible cryptocurrencies when staking is no longer bothering with transaction fees and poor speeds.

Usually, the transition to the altcoin season occurs after losing hope for a continuous rise in Bitcoin, and then money flows to speculate in some altcoins due to the ease of pumping the price.
In the current period, there has been no clear transition to altcoin except in SOL, due to Bitcoin reaching unusual levels, and therefore many speculators did not know whether the price of Bitcoin would stop rising or not.

I do not expect any actual pumping of the TOP 100 altcoin prices to occur until after 4-7 months, and until then there will be a PUMP/DUMP.

I agree and I don’t think it’s all temporary. Solana will probably be one of only a few altcoins to continue on its upward momentum because in my opinion, they have gone past the hype cycle and are launching and establishing projects that are very innovative and useful to a lot of investors. We can’t say the same for other memecoins, though. Lots of people are seeing more utility in latest memecoins so maybe that will change the playing field a little bit.

The honest answer and only answer here is no one knows.  Memes are completely useless in real life and greed drives that market of empty projects.  So they can go 1000% or lose you everything in as short as a day.  You get what you get but I don't see these crazy upwards trends happening for very long, it's not sustainable.  Take profits where you can and slide back into normal promising projects.

as much as I like such speculation in cryptocurrency, a lot of them are just distractions. 

Exchanges will have to ride this wild ride or else they'll be left behind.

We have no time frame for that but as long as the bull run is done with Bitcoin then expect that most money will flow again to the altcoins by that time. But how long? No one can tell how long you guys have to wait for that. Maybe the meme coins have been the first one to pump and then the others comes next which are not memes.

Speculations are there for a purpose, and it is still better to have your own analysis than to depend to any speculation. We know the meme tokens are seasonal, and right now they are coming back alive slowly but surely. Better to ride the hype while it is still there and know when to take profit, don’t ever hold for long because meme token will surely drop in value, and it’s just a matter of time.

So far so good, and from what I have experienced and even memecoins, airdrops and shitcoins and finally all of them all altcoins have no specific time for bear and bull market or season for them unless it happens in the future and as for now, they are all moving the price with bitcoin. Whenever bitcoin goes up they also follow and when comes down every other coins follow. Like when bitcoin hit $70k Ethereum was also $4+k and yesterday and this morning when bitcoin came down to $62k Ethereum was also down at the rate of $3,200k and right now that bitcoin has gone up again to $67k, Ethereum has also rise again to $3,500.80.

So there is no specific time for the altcoins move up and down. And bitcoin control the prices of Altcoins.

The upward and downwards trends are basics of the market, it's understandable. The memecoins cycle? No one have an idea how it will end because we're not in-control of the market, there's definitely more events to come. Profits are very important, atleast its the one thing that show we're having crucial moments in having our basic profits in the space. Memecoins can be very promising in the system but when it comes to making the expected moves, that's when they fumbled and ending up dissapointing these investors.

In my opinion, memecoins will likely persist for a while. Although there are times when other trends emerge, such as altcoin seasons, airdrops, and so on, we often see memecoins resurface and trend again. Perhaps people are really seeking where they can make significant profits, hence memecoins trending for all seasons.

The next big thing in the memecoins market is for smart investors to be smart enough to take profits when the icing is still on the cakes, because the market will not remain in the positive and since memecoins investment should be based on short-term, it's best to not get carried away or caught up in the Middle and never to expect too much, always have a short time views when investing anything that is fuel with hypes because the cycle is always short.
Bitcoin bull have triggered the interest in some of the low gem memecoins since investors have taken profits from Bitcoin and some how diverting it to altcoin gradually since the recent price high majorly happened in Bitcoin more than altcoins.

Meme coins will continue to grow and more will be created, such as timeless entertainment coins, jup and wen are rewards from airdrops and may be rewards for users of the aggregator.
not a few meme coin devs give exclusive things to holders because of loyalty, I myself tried to buy a few $ for notes in the explorer even though I had to sell again with not too much profit.

2021 even all major coins are experiencing the same conditions, this is how people see the readiness even if it is from meme coins, and no one is forcing it, almost all oracles are proposing meme coins for the introduction of their projects even though they are based on nft and token launch bejunng.

For me it is better to keep assets that are meme genre but have good fundamentals and projects, rather than shitcoin in general which only feeds the chain and has no movement. Meme coin brings many people happy, of course it depends on how each person's analysis and trading strategy includes supporting capital.

Yes the trend on crypto market comes and goes and meme coins move in the fast lane. There are hundreds of memecoin everyday and a few of them achieve 1000x+ growth in matter of days and are dumped to nothingness. Rarely there are coins that gains popularity and stays pumping and dumping for a couple of months.
And there are a few unique coins that make it to the mainstream exchanges and remains as popular coins for years like PEPE and Shiba Inu. WIF, FLOKI and BONK are newer addition that are holding on. And we have a rare case of BOME, not sure how they did it but it got to get listed on exchange like Binance and Kucoin in a matter of day. Not sure how long they'll be significant.

I disagree with you saying Investors has encountered all that which MemeCoins has to offer. Infact let me just tell you, we've not gone so far in this Crypto journey yet because all that in both bitcoin, the AltCoins and the MemeCoins has a lot of potentials offers in the Crypto markets and the time seemed to be that we've got to the bottom offer of any of the crypto Coins is the dump of that project.
Well, as MemeCoins implies most of them could be hyped enough to get on a quick offer extinction and that's why many MemeCoins has not been in existence again after much influences gained during its era. But this is unlike reputable Coins that is potentialed to long term investments.

The meme coin trend is not going to end soon. Earlier they were using the Ethereum blockchain and now they have started using Solana blockchain. There have been a few meme coins that have seen success on Solana. Now the new trend is to launch a meme coin on Solana. The shift is more or less due to the high transaction fee on Ethereum. We will surely witness many more meme coins on the Solana blockchain. I feel there will be a time when Solana will be known for meme coins.

     Right now, what I'm really observing is that this bull run is making noise with meme coins under the Sol network, to be honest. Whether we admit it or not, many community investors have made a lot of money through meme coins in reality.

     And honestly speaking, I also missed out on this WEN, and recently it was the Bome that just a few days ago, its price kicked up a lot in less than a week in the market. So, there may be a truth that this bull season can be the time of meme coins now.

Yeah, there are lots of meme coins being created now and they are being pumped. But don't forget, they are also being dumped within few seconds to days. Thousands of people are investing in those meme coins and only like two or three people are getting lucky. Rest of them are losing a lot. Most of those meme coins are just scam coins that get rug pulled. Again, among those few that are making some quick profit, most of them are the developers themselves or their friends. They pump the price, and then dump their coins to take the profit and leave. So to answer your questions, you can't predict the meme coins. It is like gambling on a casino. And no one knows how long this "meme coin" cycle will last.

I don't know if this is the case all the time, but altcoin season happens when Bitcoin's price went up significantly already. Well after all, the movement of altcoins follow the movement of Bitcoin like what's happening currently. We've seen a huge drop on the price of Bitcoin, so does the altcoins. Now we've seen a significant increase on the price of Bitcoin, so does the altcoins.

As for the meme coins, most of them will just follow the movement of other altcoins. Those top meme coins will be follow the movement of other top altcoins. As for meme coins in general, after the cycle, it's either some of them will stay, develop, and make some upgrades on their projects, or they will rug pull their investors. I mean we've seen many meme coins did it already in the past, but we might see new meme coins that will stay on the top 200 in terms of market cap, and will constantly upgrade their project like what we've seen with SHIB, FLOKI, and PEPE in the past.

I think that a lot of investors are trying to look for cheaper alternatives than bitcoin so i really do see altcoins being more attractive to investors especially in this time of the year. It will be even more so after halving. Memecoins are already popular so I am sure that they won’t have a hard time attracting investors. As I see it, memecoins are evolving and I think we might see a shift in the usual pump-dump kind of system among memecoins.

Is there any cycle for the memecoins? I don't think so.

They just influenced by the market movement of Bitcoin and in few scenarios individuals like Elon played bump and dump game for his benefits apart from that I don't find any cycle in their price movements, it's just only short time hype that can happen to random coins.

right, there are some people's may be who are involved with the project, they only getting profit in large scale from such meme coins, majority of the common people's or investors losing money after invest in meme coins, and some few investors are getting profits who's early investors and if they are lucky.

I disagree.  While yes some may profit on these things.  It's just one big disguised ponzi scheme that zero sum since they will all definately end up at zero at some point.  People are buying on the hopes there is a bigger sucler put there willing to buy it for much more.  Most of the time it's the same set of "developers" and they are just basically taking people's money.  They are useless in this market.  That's why no one will ever be able to judge when markets will start or end.

I think meme coins are a perfect example for the people who know how to cash out their skills and who have a very clear and deep knowledge about the market trends. Like this bull run has proved that meme coins can perform some times well than other altcoins they only need a good research technique to enter in early like many investors convert their 4 figure funds into 6 in solona meme coins

Major altcoins have a safer site for investment and they particularly do not give losses but meme coins are very volatile and they need very good skills of investments if you want to have good profits from them. So yes there is a certain amount of risk regarding investment in meme coins but if you invest based on skills then your bets will come out richer

The speculation around solana is getting known to everyone unfortunately the market is not meant to be always predictable

Unfortunately, no one can predict the next action of the market that is why it's a risky place, hence the next memecoin to boom is unknkw to all but at least we have alot of them hanging around hyping and performing to reach a new peak.

Altcoins/memecoins  are know for one thing which is surprise, you don't always be aware of the one which is to go higher again rather you onkybhave to wager around with your funds more like gambling to be able to achieve the altcoin season.

For all I know is that bitcoin is not yet done with it's performance and as such we are still anticipating more of bitcoin price raise, it's still unpredictable on how much long it will last. With the rate which solana has performed now I think solana is the altcoin of the year, so I have to either stick with it because it's not done with it's performance.

That's right, I think speculation is also felt on other major coins, especially when the trend shifts from bearish to bullish, I felt this way from the middle of last year and peaked in 2024, at that time I switched 10 altcoins that I thought were worthy, to ethreum and bnb before I released some of them to bitcoin.

Crypto investment for me that has a special impression is the speculation, even though this is risky, but I do it with pleasure with my own morals and responsibility to anticipate if a few hours later it turns around, I also don't focus on just one asset, because planning in a calm mentality must remain at any moment. meme coins and major coins are only different from experience, history and reliability for me.

You're not far from the truth mate. I saw a thread talking about memecoins with utilities case study alita, looking at what memes like SLERF, wif are doing with low supply, the narrative might be changing...

What I'm doing now is place a keen eye on cex like bitget memezone, position myself on their newly listed memecoins. Cos I've noticed they tend to do well post listing.. NFA though..

no one knows for sure how long this situation will last. meme coin grows with strong hype. they create short pumps and the momentum is sometimes difficult for us to gain.
The airdrop momentum of the Solana network will probably last for quite a while. Since last year we have seen how Solana and several memecoins of the Solana network have caught the attention of many people in the community.

I do agree that it will take some time for people to get used to things, but meme is here to stay obviously. I would NEVER invest a single dime on it, I would never even consider investing into any meme projects but that doesn't mean that I am not aware of the fact that there are a lot of money to be made in this world, so I just accept it the way it is.

So all in all, I highly suggest that we make sure that we are dealing with whatever we want to, it is going to be something that could take some time, so we need to grow with the flow and just make it work one way or another. I hope that people could see how well we are going to end up with it, because in most cases we won't get what we want and that is why it is a tough situation.

Yeah it's right that no one knows but once they start to get a little hype that's where your skills should come into the game. If you've done some good courses or you have been trading under some good peeps you could easily predict that when the cycle will start.

If you are able to get that particular skill where you can predict that the meme cycle is going to start soon or it has started then you can have some good investments.Like in this cycle many people were benefited by the hype that meme coins have gone through so it's important to learn the skill of how to take notice of exactly when the meme cycle will start.

It seems like it. I talked about how I made good profit from BOME and few other memecoin few weeks back and how also if you're not careful enough, the same memecoin that pays you in huge profit can also take from you massively.

I can't really stress it enough but one of my success in this memecoin is in cex listing. When is been confirmed that they will be listed on cex, then I see it as an opportunity to get in because it shows that they're not there to rug pull. You can take a look at TOAD. Don't know if it will do like the previous ones but it's worth a catch. Not financial advice still

Is the bullrun just finished until we haven't fully seen the halving? So so far investors have been too hasty in playing the memecoin season. Meanwhile, it usually happens after the halving, but I quite understand that investors cannot be controlled so they start to attack meme coins and quite a few markets experience instability. Exchanges as large as Binance are now getting easier to list memecoins day by day. Many projects that have been running for years cannot be listed on the Binance exchange, losing out to shitcoins that are only 2 days old.

Coming back to whether it's time for memecoin season or not, we can't read the direction of market movements, could it be too fast or is the bull run too short?

I don’t like most of the meme project but currently there are some new type of meme trends evolving in the market which they call meme 2.0 In these new type of meme project they gave user task to engage with the protocol and they promote a storyline where they share alpha hints for the community to give them the opportunity to guess whats coming.

I think the memecoin cycle is because before the bullish hype, memecoin started to rise again, lots of people bought memcoin so they could get rich quickly and there were also a lot of memecoin listings on big exchanges because of that, community interest started to transition from altcoin to memecoin, but that was only temporary, I think because You could say that the person who buys it first is the one who profits, just like gambling, that's what I think

From what I've researched, it's likely the cycle will continue but still there's no specific period given like when will this happen next but it's like seen from previous rise, as bitcoin rise we can predict the strength of an altcoin and I believe altcoins will follow suit. I can't predict if every altcoin will perform great like the recent ones we've seen rising and pumping and what might happen during the next cycle, I think not all coins will enjoy the next benefit during the next cycle but definitely when we have bitcoin it's predictable we might see the next cycle.

The current hype is majorly around solana meme coins,  i even heard lots of them are doing well and some buyers have made some profits off of them, although im think its all a support from the sol inside investors and its just a way to get more attention, so yeah its the right time to take profits from them, but play safe and let that shit not crash on you.

Another memecoin that continues to do well and makes me laugh when ever is see the sticker is the famous pepe 😄, that face of a frog just makes me laugh and yeah might be a gokd pick along with shob and dodge for the bull, buying memecoins are fucking risky and you know they only do well in the bull,  sell at the right time unless you want to end up with a trash for the next few seasons till the next bull again.

I think we can continue to welcome the explosion of memecoins for now. They are helping to make the crypto market more vibrant, more attractive, and with more new investors. I divide the impact of memecoins into several groups, depending on their timing:

Early stage of uptrend: attract new people with large profits.
Mid-stage of uptrend: fuel greed.
Late stage of uptrend: maintain market optimism, create unrealistic expectations.
And I also believe that the majority of the profits in the ongoing price increase of memecoins belong to whales, who created memecoins or have accumulated a lot of memecoins in the past 2 years.

its indeed meme coin season in solana the other chain not so much but there has been recent massive deployment of some random shitcoin on solana you see in dex smart contract in solana its full of shitcoin buy/sell transactions and yes their market cap grow so fast that its actually kinda crazy in my opinion.
on the other hand binance are being more easy and friendly toward listing meme coin probably due to the fact that they want to pump that trading volume number up since we know that when meme coin really become a hits hitting a billion dollar trading volume is just piece of cake, deduct certain percent as a fee then binance already having good profit from listing it.
so its no wonder that they rather easy in listing these, moreover, other centralized exchange similar to binance are doing exactly the same thing so there's no blaming here.

Ethereum network meme coins > Solana network meme coins

In my experience, the transition to the altcoin season usually kicks in when confidence in Bitcoin's upward trajectory wanes. People start seeking opportunities in altcoins, hoping for quick gains. However, with Bitcoin hitting new highs recently, there's been uncertainty. I don't foresee a significant surge in the top 100 altcoin prices for the next 5-7 months. Until then, it might be more of a pump-and-dump scenario.

Whether they call it meme 2.0, name them after famous people and celebrities, create storylines and make quizzes to incentivize users, or do anything else, none of this can change the fact that they are meme coins at the end of the day, and we all know what meme coins are. They are tokens created out of thin air named after a joke or a meme or some famous person or thing and they provide no utility or anything at all to their communities.

People need to understand that putting a mask doesn't change the actual identity of a person, similarly, giving a meme coin a different name or identity doesn't change the fact that they are still risky investments and aren't proper altcoins or cryptocurrencies, and people need to invest money that they can afford to lose in them.

We are currently experiencing hype in Meme Coin around Ethereum and the Solana Network Meme Coin. You can see that this time the price of Solan has unexpectedly increased. Especially the current hype around Solana network meme coin more, currently Solana network is offering several coins at high price and many people invest  and withdraw money from it. I want to say analyze your investment in meme coins very carefully. None of us want to lose our money so don't let hype and FOMO dictate your investment decisions.

Memecoins are just about hype. And what’s special about the hype is that it doesn’t depend on anything or at any specific time. It could be a young man who just tweets about a meme coin and then the numbers starts rising and before you realize it, it’s trending. From trending, you’ll see the prices flying. That’s just about it. And memecoins can also reach new ATH without the other memecoins making any huge price movements.
