【Crypto World】On January 23rd, a senior executive of a leading exchange responded on social media to a controversy regarding meme coins. Previously, someone took a sentence out of context and insisted it meant “meme coins are doomed,” which caused quite a panic in the crypto community.
The actual original statement was: Most meme coins won’t go very far, but those with genuine cultural value can survive long-term. This is actually a fairly objective judgment, neither overly pessimistic nor overly optimistic.
Regarding this “blunder,” industry executives commented: Rumors, hatred, and various conspiracy theories are always easier to spread and more likely to ignite people’s emotions than facts. Some investors habitually follow these emotions without thinking, and what happens? They become part of the group that repeatedly suffers losses, cycling through the same pitfalls. This may sound a bit harsh, but it’s definitely worth reflecting on.

Taking things out of context is really a tried-and-true trick; one sentence can be spun into ten different versions, and that's how retail investors get cut.
Only memes with genuine cultural depth can survive; this isn't to say meme coins are dead, but rather that trash is being淘汰.
It happens every time—rumors spread everywhere, many people follow the trend to lose money without thinking, and then blame the crypto space for being too shallow.
Projects with real value have already survived; those without will naturally be淘汰, this is market selection.
The logic is simple but sound—investors who are driven by emotions will always be the ones suffering the most.
Meme coins won't die; what dies are those air coins without cultural accumulation. Whether you understand this or not is another matter.
Falling for the same tricks repeatedly without learning a lesson—reflect on this, everyone.

Here we go again? Taking things out of context and twisting the meaning every month—it's really annoying. How can anyone still believe it?
Have you heard? Only high-quality memes can survive; trash coins should have died long ago. Why turn such a simple truth into doomsday theories?
Look at yourself in the mirror. The ones getting chopped up every day are these mindless bandwagoners.
One sentence can be interpreted in three ways. The crypto world is truly a chaotic mess.
The cultural value of those few is indeed decent; as for the rest... forget it, no need to say more.

It's the same old trick, taking things out of context to create panic, and the retail investors are still scared and panic selling.
Only memes with real culture can survive; garbage coins are already doomed, so what's there to argue about?
Those who are still being led by rumors deserve to repeatedly suffer losses.
Are meme coins really going to decline? Industry influencers clarify their statements taken out of context
