Recently, the hot concepts for 2026 have been fully ramped up, with various creative tokens riding the wave one after another. It must be admitted that every time such cyclical concepts explode in popularity, the market has a kind of magic that makes people want to jump in but also fear getting caught.

The historical record of Chinese Meme coins is there—some popular projects from a few years ago are well known for their current state. Although this time the concept is fresh and the backing looks good, every time someone says "this time is different," what happens? Many retail investors still end up as the last bagholders.

Honestly, this kind of conflicted mindset is very normal. On one hand, you envy others making money; on the other hand, you are aware of the risks. Instead of blindly following the trend, it's better to calmly assess your risk tolerance—try if you have the courage and funds, but never put living expenses at risk. Market opportunities are always there, but protecting your principal is the top priority.
