Recently, several public chain Meme ecosystems have become extremely popular. From various hit projects on Solana to continuous new highs of Chinese innovative concepts on BSC, the market heatwave keeps rolling in waves.

But this also brings up a question: for investors who neither want to participate in risky meme pump-and-dump schemes nor want to buy Meme coins at high prices, where should they go? Looking at it from another perspective, they can actually focus on the DEX ecosystem concept.

On-chain trading and DEX are tightly linked, and there's no need to debate this logic. BNB's position as the ecosystem cornerstone is unquestioned, and the innovative space within the Chinese concept sector continues to expand.

Honestly, I personally still adhere to a long-term holding strategy. Take some projects as an example: as major investors in VC rounds, they face large lock-up periods, and during this phase, they might experience selling pressure. Instead of worrying about these short-term fluctuations, it’s better to look further ahead—true returns are always hidden in the hands of those willing to endure ups and downs.

Regarding specific targets, whales bought the bottom at around 25.07, and now the price has fallen back to 24.34. The price you enter at now is actually cheaper than the institutions. From a risk-reward perspective, the safety margin at this point is quite good.

But my real opinion is that whether you're a short-term speculator or a long-term investor, extending the timeline will definitely make your holding returns outperform swing trading by a lot. This is not a guess, but an unexceptional rule. Ultimately, this market will reward those who can stay calm and patient.

The local dog project is popular, but only a few people can really make money. DEX is definitely worth paying attention to, I am also contemplating it. Long-term holding is correct, but the mental challenge is too tough. I'm also watching this whale's move; the price is indeed quite good right now. The money made from swing trading can't compare to the gains from long-term holding over ten years. It's easy to say "settle down," but when actually doing it, it can really drive people crazy.

Holding long-term is the way to go; swing trading will eventually lead to losses. --- The meme wave is indeed crazy, but there are too many bagholders. DEX is still more reliable. --- There's nothing much to say about the BNB ecosystem; it's stable. You're right that entering now is cheaper than institutions. --- When the lock-up period is lifted, it dumps the price. Not many see through this, so we'll just wait patiently. --- Honestly, over the long term, the difference in returns is as big as heaven and earth. Unfortunately, most people can't hold on. --- The price at around $24 definitely has a safety margin. Those who bought at previous highs are now kicking themselves. --- The dirt dog coin exploded this time, but I still choose to stay away. Better to hold core assets steadily. --- Basically, it's a test of patience. Those who can keep a cool head can make big money; frequent trading just burns through fees. --- I haven't paid much attention to the DEX concept, but since liquidity and trading are linked, there might indeed be some potential. --- At this whale level, I think the price is okay. I just don't know if there's more room to drop. Forget it, I'll stick to long-term holding.

Street dogs running everywhere, still, you have to play DEX, this is the right way To put it simply, now catching Meme is just gambling on probabilities, it's better to copy the DEX's foundation Long-term holding is really rewarding, the short-term gains are not worth mentioning at all The BNB ecosystem is taking off, and the Chinese concept is also rising, time will tell Institutions wouldn't even buy at 24, but we can get in cheaply? This logic is interesting No matter how volatile it gets, you have to endure it. Those who can truly make money are the ones who stay calm

Street dogs run everywhere, but bottoming out on DEX is still the safest bet --- Meme coins are indeed crazy this time. I’d rather wait patiently for the unlocking pressure to pass --- Long-term holding is the way to go; short-term swing trading will eventually lead to losses --- Buying the dip at over $25 feels great now, but I just don’t have that courage --- The DEX ecosystem is the right path; don’t just focus on those skyrocketing street dogs --- People with a good mindset will win in the end; this is truly no false statement --- The BSC ecosystem is still expanding and worth paying attention to --- Once the safety margin is sufficient, you should decisively buy the dip; hesitation means missed opportunities --- Instead of chasing high-priced Meme coins, look for good targets that have been beaten down --- Discipline determines returns; this is the deepest lesson I’ve learned in this market

It's another set of arguments about long-term holding, but you're right, bro. The meme coin market is indeed chaotic beyond belief; it still depends on the DEX scene. Once the BNB ecosystem is up and running, there's really no escaping it.

It's the same old story, the DEX concept is indeed more reliable. Forget it, I still think swing trading is more fun, buddy. Long-term holding isn't as enjoyable as tripling my investment in two months. There's no real disagreement about BNB; it's just that timing the entry is difficult. It's indeed not expensive at over $24, but I want to wait a bit longer. It's easy to settle down and listen, but who can resist watching the plunge in real time?

Starting to promote the long-term holding strategy again, feels a bit like a cliché. --- No one really pays attention to DEX these days, everyone is just playing Meme tokens. --- It's easy to say, but how many people can really hold up when a dump actually happens? --- At $24, it's cheaper than institutions—how come I keep not understanding this logic? --- Long-term holding means winners take all, but the premise is that you have to survive until that day. --- The BNB ecosystem is indeed stable, but who dares to bet on it? --- Instead of worrying about fluctuations, it's better to just go with the flow; the outcome is the same anyway. --- Whales are bottom fishing and we're just taking the hit; this logic is so old. --- The longer the timeline, the more winners there are; the problem is most people can't hold out that long. --- Meme tokens are too crazy; DEX and other relatively rational projects are more reliable. --- The safety margin is good, no doubt, but no one can guarantee it won't keep falling.

locking behavior patterns rn are absolutely fascinating... mempool's basically screaming but nobody's listening to the fee whispers. dex volume spikes matching exactly with those unlock schedules? nah that's not coincidence, that's just inefficiency waiting to be exploited by ppl who actually read onchain data

It's the long-term holding strategy again. I just want to ask, how many months can we hold on this time? Meme is hot, but it’s easy to suffer heavy losses. DEX is indeed more stable. Buy the dip at 24.34? I feel like it can still fall further, haha. So should I go all in on BNB now or wait and see, everyone? Holding yields outperform swing trading. Is that true? But no one really can do it. The VC unlock is actually a ticking time bomb. It's easy to say but hard to do. Not many can really endure it.
