Recently, the popularity of Chinese Meme has indeed been quite outrageous. Many people are curious about what is really going on, and there are actually several key factors driving this trend.

First is the support from the platform ecosystem. A leading exchange has lowered the barriers through various listing channels and incubation tracks, combined with interactions and endorsements from core platform figures, which easily triggers investors' FOMO psychology. Plus, the low transaction fees and high speed of public chains naturally suit high-frequency trading needs, gradually forming an expected cycle of "listing → trading → next."

The community side is also very powerful. Chinese Meme inherently carries strong emotional and meme culture, rapidly spreading across multiple platforms like Telegram, X, Weibo, Douyin, etc. Influencers (KOLs) amplify the effect, and people quickly develop a sense of identity and tribal feeling, leading to viral diffusion as a natural phenomenon.

It cannot be denied that the wealth effect plays a role. The low price and high volatility characteristics make the possibility of "hundredfold tokens" imaginable. Stories of early participants getting rich quickly continuously stimulate newcomers to join, and the power of this wealth creation narrative should not be underestimated.

Plus, with the big cycle of Bitcoin's bull market in 2026, the large Chinese community base and high dissemination efficiency, as well as the support from occasions like the Lunar New Year, emotions and funds are driven like two wheels. Moreover, token issuance tools are becoming increasingly user-friendly, on-chain costs are decreasing, and ordinary people can participate with just a few thousand yuan—making the entry barrier extremely low.

Of course, this wave of popularity is fundamentally the result of the concentrated release of platform traffic, community creativity, and market cycle forces. In the short term, it is indeed easy to form localized trends, but risks must also be guarded against—project quality varies, and regulatory risks always exist.

Haha, it's the same old wealth effect, basically just gambler mentality. The 100x dream is really incredible; those who got in early are laughing last, while later entrants are all just bagholders. Low fees are indeed great, but if this continues, it’s bound to cause problems eventually. Everyone can see through the KOL hype, but some still fall for it. The node boosting part is spot on; the Lunar New Year is naturally a season of impulsive spending. Speaking of quality being uneven, that’s nothing new, just the usual. The tool for issuing tokens being so foolproof is the most ridiculous; can you just cobble something together and issue? Regulatory risks really need to be guarded against, or one day there could be a big crackdown. Traffic, creativity, and cycles forming a perfect storm indeed. I still think this is a localized phenomenon; once you calm down, you'll return to rationality.

Haha, it's just a game of one after another cutting leeks. --- Why is the dream of a hundredfold coin so soothing? I really can't hold it together. --- Low threshold? That must be a synonym for low quality. --- Both platform endorsements and KOL hype, they really treat people like fools. --- Those who got rich early are all silent now, and most of the current calls are from new leeks. --- The 2026 bull market is still a long way off, so do we have to cut now? --- The more foolproof the token issuance tool is, the greater the risk. How come this simple logic is so hard to understand? --- How long can the heat generated by the Lunar New Year last? You should have a rough idea. --- NGL, it feels like there's nowhere to spend the extra money, so they just throw it into memes. --- The uneven quality is a polite way of saying that nine out of ten are trash. --- That group of people in Telegram shouting "LFG" every day, then turning around to dump, it's hilarious.

Well... to put it simply, it's still the result of human greed combined with mature tools. --- Another feast of cutting leeks, but indeed some people have made money. --- Low threshold + high volatility = inevitable madness, nothing new. --- KOL leading the rhythm is an old trick, but some people still fall for it. --- Lunar New Year + bull market cycle, all the timing, location, and people are in place. --- The dream of a hundredfold coin really makes people believe anything, and that's the most terrifying part. --- Seeing many new leeks rushing in, I can only say... good luck to everyone. --- The platform is powerful, the community is strong, the money is there... but no one cares about the risks. --- Playing on-chain with a few thousand yuan feels like gambling rather than investing. --- This wave is truly driven by emotions, fundamentals? Nonexistent.
