i think one of the most powerful things about zcat is that it massively broadens the total addressable market for ZEC by giving onchain/memecoin guys a native vehicle to get their beaks wet on ZEC upside without leaving their home turf (memecoins)
basically the tent of ZEC folks just grew massively,
from: HTF majors guys, privacy zealots, "'what's hot' intracycle narr, but needs liquidity for size" guys,
to: this massive cohort of memecoin people, in addition to the guys above
they potentially get asymmetric memecoin upside they're used to, and then accidentally end up as ZEC whales within weeks-months just by holding the memecoin, and end up contributing buying pressure and memetic extensibility to ZEC
it's basically symbiosis, like nemo in a sea anenome, or flowers + bees type of shit happening on sol<>memecoiners<>ZEC. it's rare when organic stuff like this clicks and elevates both sides of two communities.
this is all happening in a vacuum, where majors haven't even moved yet, but all the early bullish july-august people + experimentoors are making their own alt season, while outsiders point to TOTAL3 not moving, and scratching their heads. it feels exactly like late 2023.
bullish zcat, stonk, sol, which are going to do great alongside RH chain stuff like pons.

Interesting potential with $USELESS is that, if it passes 1B mcap, it creates a moment of “wait, this is possible again?” bullish intrigue, disbelief and adrenaline.
Memecoins hit 11B and a half dozen went multi B last cycle.
Last cycle then suffered not necessarily just from dispersion, but liquidity for alts rolled over right after trump’s inauguration, and never recovered.
A lot of people never looked at stats or visualizations, because BTC kept going up into a weak marginally higher ATH, so they just “felt” it, and it felt bad.
I think we’re poised to make the prev cycle look like a 2019 style echo pump in terms of the financial conditions that are lining up
I think social trading and frictionless truly consumer apps have *finally* solved crypto UX for normies, *and* might actually narrow dispersion through people 3:3ing the attention and clout around hero trades. We’re already seeing that, and it’s sustaining itself.
Once useless passes 1B, I think people start dreaming bigger again for where onchain can go. I feel like useless at 300m (as well as other newer coins) could get looked back upon as very, very cheap, as BTC and majors are still way, way below prev ATH

solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk just recorded the second-largest 1hr short liquidation in all of crypto, behind only $ZEC (a $16.4 billion cryptocurrency!)
and here's where things get REALLY interesting:
literally every key metric is now at an ATH
except the price 👀
- $185m+ in 24hr spot volume
- $2.2b+ in 24hr perps volume
- $200m+ in CEX perps OI
- 9,600+ new holders in just 7 days
all of this...
for a $240m memecoin
every single one of those numbers is an ATH for solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk
and here's the craziest part:
these metrics weren't even remotely this strong when solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk was trading at its previous $450m ATH
the fundamentals and activity are exploding
while the price is still sitting almost 50% below ATH
i've seen this movie before
this kind of action is eerily similar to what we saw with $PEPE before its major expansion last cycle
first, the metrics started screaming
then the price caught up
and once it did...
there was no stopping it
$PEPE went from roughly $300m to $4b, cooled off, and eventually went on to reach $11b+
throughout this entire bear market, i repeatedly said that i believed solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk had the potential to be a $DOGE / ethereum:0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce type runner this cycle
many laughed
many faded it
many ignored me
but increasingly...
the numbers are beginning to validate the thesis
and you can argue with opinions
you can argue with narratives
but you CANNOT argue with cold, hard data 👀

i feel pretty strongly that the fact that we ripped 20k and had zero pullbacks *despite* gold/stock weakness + iran headline risk was the market telling (showing) you everything.
if we pump a little higher, we're going to start approaching the leading edge of the hardline "i'm not allocating until the guaranteed 4 year cycle bottom in october" people and their massive bid.
the pump that occurs when early "belief"/YCC/curr debasement reaction people run into the "i'm waiting for this timeframe to buy" zealots will catch a lot of people off guard

There’s a guy in my comments that chased me down a day or two ago, calling me a “retard” for being bullish pons, because it went down 15% on some random noisy candle.
It’s now up nearly 200%.
Instead of dunking on him (spiritually poor behavior), I’m going to silently buy more, and continue to enjoy the ride to 3-4b mcap as the whole space re-rates higher.
People that don’t shed their bear market PTSD and open up their wealth chakra will get left behind. Adjust behavior to adjusting conditions.

finally cooled a bit among gold, stocks down + new iran hot missile headlines.
still.. shocked we're hanging in there this high. even without bad headlines, cooling a bit would be simple chart physics.
not super sure on near-term direction
but if we reclaim 78k, then 79k, we probably teleport to 85k+

interesting observing useless / bonk guy arc
a lot of people said "oh yeah as soon as this thing tanks, he's out"
-he stayed the whole bear. over a year.
-staked his reputation and credibility on it.
-bear is ending.
-he now has more visibility than ever, and still has useless front and center.
sol is going to be fine (i own a lot of sol, sol beta), but useless was the most successful meme of 2025, and continues to be a flagship while other sol coins flounder during this majors cooloff + RH narr
i have pretty firm conviction that useless reclaims prev ATH (~400m), pushes to 800m, and then has a good chance of going 1b+

as someone whose public memecoin trades did:

- low 5/6 figures to $5m to $10m+ across $MAGA, $DOGEGOV, and the Roaring Kitty meta
all publicly documented last cycle
all while being clowned by an army of people telling me i would fail

i'm going on record again:
i believe solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk will be THE main memecoin play of this cycle
the next multi-billion-dollar $DOGE / ethereum:0x95ad61b0a150d79219dcf64e1e6cc01f0b64c4ce type runner
and here's the part people should pay attention to:
my conviction in solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk is stronger than it ever was in any of the runners listed above
this is my signature memecoin trade for this cycle
the one i'm most willing to put my name and reputation behind
one day, people will look back at this period and wonder how solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk was sitting right in front of them

if you own a leader in a memefi coin (ai, memory, pharma), you’re potentially sitting on a literal goldmine

AI looks like a consensus bet to go to 1B+ (and it’s not even discoverable on coingecko/other normie platforms yet)
Even if you don’t hold it, that’s good news for the space.
As reductive as this is, coins can’t go above 1B until.. a coin goes above 1B
Once conditions show a new ceiling is possible, others will follow.

BTC bottom range bear psychosis starter kit, 2026 edition:
Kinda interesting time right now, analyzing memefi coins in two mechanistic camps:
1) coins that don’t reflect value to memecoin holders (ie you don’t get routinely paid/airdropped the right side of the pair, the RWA)
2) coins that do pay the RWA (there are a few examples
In a vacuum, you’d think the latter would go bananas
But the wrinkle:
the former has community-building memetic missions, and also, avoids having the mechanism block it from getting listed/compliance/tech issues
There’s clearly room for both - will be interesting to see which coins in each category cement themselves
What do y’all think?

I had a change of heart on RWA paired memecoins the past few days
I initially midcurved it, identifying that the vast majority of these tokens don’t net you the RWA, or do anything accretive for the holders of the memecoin. Language around that is all fugazi.
But that doesn’t matter at all. Memecoins have always been a pure play on attention coupled with humor/irony. What RWA-paired memecoins offer is a novel avenue toward, simply-put, funny attention-grabbing things to happen, and narratives to play out.
One obvious example is mainstream media bait. If an RWA-paired meme is responsible for anything related to impacting the financials around the RWA side, that could spark coverage, kicking off a (my favorite) price-absurdity flywheel effect.
I don’t think RWA-paired memes kill or supplant non-RWA memes — they just offer many new colors and brushes on the canvas of memeticism and creativity.
Taking a dumb example, off the cuff - there was a coin last cycle called “LePregnant”, based off an image of a pregnant LeBron James. I thought it was hilarious, and bought some, but it (predictably) died.
What would make that coin 10x funnier? A LePregnant/Nike pair, with the mission to force Nike or LeBron to acknowledge it.
Eventually the first wave of obvious combos will come to pass, but curious which ones reach escape velocity and enter mainstream news.
