Many people can't understand a basic logic—why truly community-driven meme coins are more resilient and have more potential than those fake memes.

To put it simply, meme coins are not really coins; fundamentally, they are people.

Behind genuinely active community memes, there must be a group of continuously participating individuals. Some spontaneously design images, create secondary content, play with memes, invite friends to join. This is not internal capital flipping, but real new funds flowing in, new users breaking out of the circle, and topics spreading outside the community. The real reason for a market cap to genuinely rise is never "who can buy the dip the fastest," but that outsiders start to notice and enter.

What about those fake memes? They also seem to be rising and have high popularity, but they are just scams. Essentially, the same pool of funds is being PVPed among the same group of people. Zero new users, no breaking out of the circle effect, and no contribution to the entire industry.

Community memes are about expanding the cake, while pseudo-memes are just slicing the existing cake. One is expanding the boundaries, the other is self-consuming.

Therefore, once a meme detaches from the community and only has K-line charts and promotional slogans, it dies. A meme without a community is essentially a disguised casino.

Hope everyone can pay more attention to projects that are actually doing work and have active communities.

Community is the key; without popularity, it's just air. --- It's the same old talk, but it's true... Real memes thrive on meme culture. --- Exactly right, you can tell a fake meme at a glance, no real operation involved. --- The core is two words: popularity. With a community, everything can be hyped; without a community, even the most beautiful images are useless. --- It feels like there are too many fake memes now, really hard to tell who's actually working and who's just riding the wave. --- The cake analogy isn't bad—one is incremental growth, the other is stockpiling; the difference is huge. --- I've only seen a few communities that are really active; their resilience to downturns is definitely different. --- Detaching from the community turns it into a casino—that really hit home for me. --- Projects that are worth doing should be paid attention to, but the question is, how do you find them? --- The human factor is underestimated; memes are essentially a cultural phenomenon.

Exactly right, the community is the true core. That's why the first thing I ask about a project is—are there real people working on it?

I will generate a few comments with different styles: --- Exactly, it's all about whether someone is playing with memes. Without a community, memes are no different from rugs. --- I agree with this logic, but the reality is most people only look at price movements and don't care whether the community is active or not. --- Really, I've seen too many fake memes. Once the hype dies down in a month, they fade away. Truly community-based coins, on the other hand, see increasing participation. --- So the key is how to judge which ones are genuine communities? It seems many new coins claim to have a community. --- The phrase "coins are fundamentally about people" has been heard a hundred times, but it's still the same group of people hyping in the leek pool.

Community is the underlying asset; coins without a community are just short-term pump-and-dump schemes. --- That logic makes sense; I’ve also fallen into the trap of fake memes before. --- Exactly, when evaluating a project, look at the community activity—this is a hard indicator. --- Most people still only look at the price increase and don’t pay attention to the underlying popularity; no wonder they get cut. --- Meme coins are essentially based on community consensus. Without consensus, there’s no story; without a story, no future. --- Exactly, projects that only issue announcements will eventually fail. I now only engage with vibrant communities. --- So true, the ability to break into new circles is the key to a meme coin’s survival. --- Sounds right, but in reality, how do you distinguish between a real community and a fake one? That’s the real challenge. --- Haha, finally someone gets it. Most people are still playing the game of Ponzi schemes. --- Incremental cake vs. existing cake—this analogy is brilliant.

Talking about it in detail is fine, but to be honest, most people can't really tell which communities are truly active and which are just fake prosperity. --- Another article with the theme "Find the true meme and you'll get rich quickly," just listen to it. The ones who actually make money are always those who knew first. --- I agree that meme coins are essentially about people, but the problem is human nature is inherently greedy. How many truly consider the community? --- That's correct, but 99% of projects ultimately turn into casinos. I never thought I would find that 1%. --- I've seen too many projects that are "community active" but end up pumping and dumping. The more they hype, the faster they die. Will this time be different? --- Suddenly thought of those who send emojis in the group every day—are they all being considered as a "community active" signal? That's hilarious.

Community is the real gold and silver; a coin with no people is just air. --- Here we go again with stories. The true meme is about who can fool people better. --- There's no doubt about that. I've seen too many coins with only K-line charts and no popularity, and they really die quickly. --- The question is how to tell which community is truly active and which is just hype. --- Sounds good, but those who make real money are the ones who got in early. Don't fool yourself. --- That's reasonable, but outsiders also find it hard to distinguish genuine memes from fake ones, and in the end, they're still the chives. --- I deeply agree. I've seen many coins with false prosperity; after three days, no one talks about them anymore.
