Many people ask what exactly is the value of MEME coins. After scouring the white paper, they can't find an answer because the answer isn't there; it's in the hearts of every holder—the thing called "consensus."

That's what makes this interesting. In the short term, consensus is like the gasoline that ignites the fire. A good meme, a cultural phenomenon, a story everyone agrees on can instantly gather massive attention and buying power, causing the price to shoot straight up. Just look at how projects like $BIFI and $GMT became popular, and you'll understand.

But the real test is in the long term. When the hype fades and the noise dies down, what's left? Only communities that have truly built interaction, shared memories, and a sense of belonging can survive. These communities won't run away during downturns; instead, they continue building during quiet periods, and some even develop their own uses and small ecosystems. $GPS is such an example. This is the true moat of a project and the reason it isn't easily exploited and can survive long-term.

So next time you're evaluating the prospects of a MEME project, don't just look at the code and price increases. Check what the community is doing: Are they still creating content? Is it spontaneous? Are there people taking over after dips? Are they seriously building things in their daily activities?

The strongest consensus can create the most lasting value. Projects like puppies, which are entirely community-driven and grow purely through shared belief, are what long-term followers keep an eye on, and the logic is right here.

So here's the question—who will be the next MEME that can traverse an entire cycle based on consensus? Instead of chasing volatile charts, focus on communities that truly have vitality.
