The data for 2025 is out: 11.6 million coins have been sent into black holes.

This is a slaughter in the era of "release and pray." If your portfolio is 100% meme coins, you're not an investor — you're just a number in the next CoinGecko "dead coin" report.

To put it simply, quality always beats quantity. No exceptions. This round of reshuffling has been brutal, and projects that lack fundamental support and rely solely on hype are being eliminated at an accelerated pace. True winners have always focused on careful selection.
