Ever wonder why some crypto assets moon without solid fundamentals? Welcome to memetic trading. You're not buying based on real utility or strong tech—you're buying the narrative. The meme is your real asset.

Here's how it works: the stronger the meme, the more volatile it becomes. And I'm talking weird, infectious, impossible-to-ignore memes. The ones that stick. The ones people can't stop talking about. That's when things get truly speculative.

The absurdity level matters. The virality matters. The staying power matters. Once all three align, something shifts—belief in the meme itself becomes the primary driver. At that point, fundamentals? They're almost irrelevant. The collective agreement on the narrative is all that exists.

It's not necessarily dumb money either. It's just a different market force. One where community psychology outweighs balance sheets. Meme strength becomes price strength.

To be honest, this is the current truth of the crypto world. The fundamentals have long been drowned out by meme images. Oh wait, it depends on whose meme images can better set the rhythm. That's the real secret to making money. Psychological warfare is way more interesting than technical documents. So buying coins is really a gamble on human nature. Whoever can craft a more fantastical story wins. Laughing to death, I am part of the group that has been cut by this set of rhetoric a few times. Meme economy sounds ridiculous but it definitely has a market... Money just disappears like that. Compared to that, the fundamentals seem a bit naive, haha. I agree with this logic, it's just that I’m reluctant to pour money into it. Collective madness is the strongest consensus, no doubt. By the way, those who can grasp the meme cycle are truly top-tier gamblers.

Basically, it's collective hallucination to make money; we're all acting out each other's stories.

Basically, it's collective madness. The better someone's story is told, the more it rises. Fundamentals? That thing has long been dead in the crypto world. I just want to know who can take the final step in this wave. The more absurd the meme, the more it can rise. That logic is damn perfect. Community psychology beats technical analysis—that's just how Web3 is. So now it's about who can tell the better story, right? This article is spot on. I've seen too many coins double without fundamentals. Are people foolish and have lots of money, or are they smart money? Anyway, I don't know which one I am. Really, the more absurd it is, the more viral it becomes. This is the hidden wealth code.
