Whenever I spot meme coins hovering in that 100k-500k market cap sweet spot, there's really just one filter I run them through:

Can this thing carry enough cultural staying power to push past the hype cycle and actually build into something that sticks?

Here's the brutal truth—most of these tokens flatline because there's nothing holding them up. No backbone. No real narrative thread people can grab onto. They're just noise.

The ones that break out? They've got a story. An anchor. Something that makes people remember why they showed up in the first place.

To be honest, most people can't see this at all. They just follow the hype and end up panic selling at a loss. Cultural longevity depends on the community itself, not on the project's marketing.

That's right, but I find that most people can't tell the difference at all. They're blindly chasing the hype without ever considering whether the project has any soul.

That's right, but I’ve noticed that many people don’t actually understand what “cultural longevity” means... They just look at which communities are still chatting and which ones have already become ghost towns. 99% of memecoins are just a game of musical chairs; there are very few that can genuinely tell a story.

Stories and anchors are what really matter. No matter how cheap a coin is, if it doesn’t have these two things, I’m not interested... Most meme coins are just shells, no matter how hyped they get, they'll eventually go to zero.

The words "story" and "anchor point" are well put, but I actually think most people can't really tell what is a true story and what is just marketing copy. In the end, it still depends on whether the community truly has faith to support it.

Well said, that's exactly why 99% of meme coins die so quickly... Without any cultural depth, they're just empty shells.

That's right, but I don't even look at market cap anymore—I just check if the community has any true believers. If a coin doesn't have hardcore fans, I'll stay away from it no matter how small its market cap is.

That's right, the signal-to-noise ratio in the market is terrible right now—90% of the coins are just hype with no real foundation. This "sweet spot" price is actually where it's easiest to get burned. People see it's cheap and rush in, but it's all just a game of musical chairs. The ones that actually survive are just a handful with real stories. The rest? It's only a matter of time before they go to zero.
