'the great question is why solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk?' simple answer: all memecoins are USELESS and last time i checked there is a $30.6 BILLION industry of them so you might as well buy THE one solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk coin! longer answer: (do note that this part is about to get REALLY long, but i'm in that mood and feel that some education is necessary so people really know what's in front of them) many have always assumed that memecoin trading is pure luck but that couldn't be farther from the truth and there's no better person to take this from than someone who consistently took low 4/5/6-figure trades to $1m - $20m+ publicly on solana:DezXAZ8z7PnrnRJjz3wXBoRgixCa6xjnB7YaB1pPB263, $WIF, solana:9BB6NFEcjBCtnNLFko2FqVQBq8HHM13kCyYcdQbgpump, solana:7GCihgDB8fe6KNjn2MYtkzZcRjQy3t9GHdC8uHYmW2hr, etc. last cycle, in real time, while everyone told him he would fail and every cycle, i make a handful of high-conviction, concentrated bets on the memecoins i believe can massively outperform i don't pick them randomly i look for specific things here's why solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk checks so many of those boxes: 1. narrative dogs, frogs, cats, robots, politicians, celebrities... crypto has turned literally everything into a memecoin but guess what? they're all USELESS that's what makes solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk so interesting it's essentially the final boss of the entire memecoin meta 2. historical performance you might think the 'USELESS' narrative is too bland or boring that's fine but here's the thing: some of the biggest memecoins ever had incredibly simple narratives 'S H I B' what even is a shib? a Shiba Inu and that somehow reached a $44B market cap so instead of arguing about whether USELESS sounds exciting, look at what the market has actually done with it after solana:6p6xgHyF7AeE6TZkSmFsko444wqoP15icUSqi2jfGiPN launched, almost no new memecoin was able to break $400m outside of solana:FUAfBo2jgks6gB4Z4LfZkqSZgzNucisEHqnNebaRxM1P and YZY (one is the First Lady's coin and the second Kanye West's, so no surprises there!) solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk did! it went from roughly $4m to $450m ATH despite launching into some of the worst market conditions of the cycle and here's the crazy part: almost two years later, no other organic new memecoin has replicated that feat NOT A SINGLE ONE! USELESS has also consistently acted as one of the highest-beta memecoin plays against bitcoin:native while maintaining strong relative OI and volume throughout the bear that's not what you normally see from a small-cap memecoin 3. community the solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk community is borderline cult-like these people know exactly what they're holding they'll literally tell you: 'yeah, we're holding a USELESS coin so what? it's still going to billions' lmao that's exactly the kind of community you want behind a memecoin 4. distribution on-chain activity alone doesn't take a memecoin mainstream distribution does and solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk has spent the past year building exactly that - Coinbase (biggest US CEX with 120 million users) - Kraken - Bitvavo - Binance perps - Bybit perps - OKX perps it has the infrastructure and exchange distribution necessary for retail liquidity to find it when the real mania arrives and here's another interesting datapoint: solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk is the second most traded memecoin on both Coinbase and Kraken yesterday and today, behind only Dogecoin (a feat it has pulled off a lot of times since it launched over a year ago) that's the kind of positioning you want before retail really wakes up 5. mindshare this might be the most underrated one solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk triggers people crypto purists hate it because it makes crypto look 'useless' crypto haters use it as an example of everything they think is wrong with crypto memecoin purists and CT traders dismiss it because they think it's too boring but there's one thing none of them can seem to stop doing: talking about it and that's the point memecoins are essentially tokenized attention DOGE had attention SHIB had attention PEPE had attention USELESS has attention you don't need everyone to like your memecoin you need them to notice it 6. whale + smart money inflows USELESS has consistently ranked near the top of Solana memecoins for whale and smart-money inflows even during weak periods, it regularly shows up near the top and the latest move wasn't random either whales were aggressively accumulating USELESS before the move i highlighted that publicly on X while it was happening then the move came 7. decoupling this is one of the biggest characteristics i've seen in the best-performing memecoins of a cycle at some point, they stop caring what the rest of the market is doing USELESS has repeatedly shown this it was up ~50% yesterday while practically everything else on Solana was deep red it's been outperforming while bitcoin:native and the broader market look ugly and this isn't new USELESS went from roughly $4m to $400m during the Iran-Israel conflict while the rest of crypto was getting obliterated then it went on to make a new ATH after 10/10, one of the biggest black swan events of the cycle that's important because it shows USELESS can attract its own flows and when those flows arrive, it can outperform aggressively regardless of what the broader market is doing i could keep going but this is probably the longest post i've ever written about solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk so i'll stop here the point isn't that solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk is guaranteed to go up nothing in memecoins is guaranteed the point is that when you strip away the noise and actually examine the data, you start seeing something very interesting: narrative historical validation cult community distribution mindshare whale accumulation independent flows solana:Dz9mQ9NzkBcCsuGPFJ3r1bS4wgqKMHBPiVuniW8Mbonk checks a ridiculous number of boxes and the funny thing is... most people will probably only become convinced after the market has already repriced it that's how these things usually work welcome to my TED talk
