There's no hype now because the whole crypto market turned bearish. Retail investors are refraining from pouring additional money into alts, due to the uncertain times we're living into. Right now, all of the buzz is on precious metals like Gold and Silver. Bitcoin, all the way down to regular alts and "meme" coins are suffering dearly.
The time is hard for cryptocurrency market, and memecoins are worst hitted in terms of losing value drastically investors motivation is gone alot focus is shifting to bitcoin as the only stand able crypto assets, the high volitility risks in altcoins most especially memecoins have weakened investors strengths and motivation.
Rest assured that once the dust settles, "meme" coins will gain the spotlight again. I'm sure DOGE will be at the forefront of the surge in market prices for "memes". It could reach $1, while others could go as high as $0.01 (such as SHIBA and PEPE). You'll never know when will the "meme" coin of your choosing will suddenly become a widespread sensation. Better pay close attention to the market, just in case.
When the cryptocurrency market recover and bitcoin is back to around $100k
BTC most memecoins may not follow suit unless for the new ones who will be launching during that hype period when the entire crypto market will be in a bull run again.
