Has interest in "meme" coins waned?

[Abiky]

It's been a long time since we haven't heard about "meme" coins going all the way to the moon. Coins such as Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and Pepe are now "dormant". Does this mean interest in "meme" coins waned? Or not yet? Because Solana is still "giving birth" to new memes. It's the #1 platform for such "shitcoins".

Knowing that investors moved away from Elon Musk's constant "shilling" of Dogecoin, there's nothing left for "meme" coins to "pump" again. Maybe a new celebrity or influential person will liven up the hype?

What do you think?

You have partially posted the answer along on your post. You posted that there are still few ones on other chains like solana. Do you not know that altcoins like meme coins are like one, investors leave old ones for a new one.

The meme coin market will still be back but that will probably be next year or next two years. Old ones will not pump as they pumped before as new one will dominate.

Even Bitcoin, as well as topcoin like ETH, BNB, and SOL are experiencing declines, and the entire market is going through a rather gloomy period. Why are you surprised that the interest and hype surrounding memes have faded?

Memes have never been noticed in the bear market. But trust me, memecoins will never disappear and once the market enters a new bull run. They will continue to become popular again, and a new king will emerge, just like how Doge, Shiba, or Pepe did in the 2024 bull market.

When the price of Bitcoin drops, it usually affect every other thing. This is what I think is affecting altcoins including memecoins. The hype around memecoins is not supposed to be strong when Bitcoin is nosediving and many people are losing their mind due to expectations of bull market that is not happening. Another factor that is hindering people's interest in memecoins is because of what happened with all the memecoins linked to Donald Trump and his family. Many people lost money from those hypes, hence developed hatred for memecoins as a result of that.

The last meme coin I could remember seeing people jump onto  was the $Trump memecoin  which left many people in massive loss after a brief hype which ended in a market manipulation. Today no one is talking about the Trump memecoin and this is how its being with all memecoins, they have their time and as soon as the hype is over and it dumps that's the end of it. Perhaps now that the cryptocurrency market has being bleeding in red with the uncertainty of the market actual direction currently, it has really impacted negatively to the hypes that has being sustaining the altcoins/shitcoins market for now.

The crypto space was still new at that time, but the reality is what we see now. Though there are still a few of them that are performing 30x, 50x or more, they are all tokens, and not the coin owned by its blockchain. Again, they do not hold their initial gains for long before they sell to become useless shitcoins. We should forget going to the moon mantra, as this is the reality of the crypto market now, and always will be.

People's eyes are now open, celebrities have scammed a lot in the name of cryptocurrency. So even if their supported coins/tokens win, it will be for a short while.

It will not be for long. There is a sector in our industry where the love for pump-and-dump will always be there, just like a high-risk investment and a Ponzi Scheme that refuses to die.

The market is currently in a bear market, but once there is a shift, expect developers, whales, and shills to push for memes, as investors will look for ways to make a quick profit.
Greed is always part of the market, so expect memes or similar schemes to comeout from time to time.

The meta as of now is adoption and regulations, and memes.. are not here that much

I myself am happy about not seeing them too much lately, but I think there will be a time they will resurge.

I think meme coins are quite dormant as of now, but this does not mean they will never emerge again. Meme coins are basically based on hypes, and I think this is not the right time for meme coins to get in to picture at least until bitcoins hit another ATH. I guess once bitcoins hit another ATH, some new meme coin might come into picture, or the existing ones might start showing increasing volumes. Many people have already lost their faith in meme coins because of past experiences as hundreds and thousands of people have lost a fortune trying to catch the hype. Trusting meme coins again will be a bit difficult from their end.

There still are a number of people who are still looking for meme coins as a quick money scheme. They will jump into the hype if any influential person starts promoting or showcasing their meme coin holdings again. Meme coin's life cycle depends on the influential person behind them.

It's been a long time since we haven't heard about "meme" coins going all the way to the moon.

And we won't be hearing that anytime soon considering the fact that even the top coins in the market are fighting for themselves to maintain a level of balance at least. The entire market has been so shaky since January last year, so I guess everyone_{(the majority)}, had to move on from memecoins to other things that could withstand the decline in the market for the time being.

There has been a decline because of how tough the market has been.
Those who are always optimistic, and those who are good at shilling these coins are probably waiting until the market gets better, before they can resume their activities. Things might be quiet at this point, but it doesn't necessarily tell the end.

What do you think?

I believe so that it has waned already because of the market shift from the bull run to becoming the bear market. Memecoins are a part of it and the interest of the investors has decreased from it. With Elon shilling dogecoin before, he's probably out of the league but we'll see if we're in the midst of this bear market and he starts to advertise it again and post into his X account. If the people are still on it and if his influence can do something about the bear's volatility but right now, it seems he's got involved into the controversy of the Eipstein files and he's alleged seeking to get into the island.
