From Doge to the present, the MEME coins in the Ethereum ecosystem are like an ever-evolving river.

It all started with Doge. This coin was imperfect, unprofessional, and somewhat outrageous. But it achieved a groundbreaking feat — showing the world for the first time that emotion, jokes, and consensus can create value.

Later, Pepe appeared. Compared to Doge's mildness, Pepe was more rebellious, underground, and niche. It didn't try to please the masses; instead, it was deeply loved by a group of passionate fans, eventually invading mainstream consciousness from the fringes of culture.

As the market entered a new cycle, new characters like Ethereum Hippo and Ethereum Nero emerged. These coins share obvious characteristics: rapid dissemination, direct emotional appeal, and tight pacing. They represent an efficient type of MEME — adapted to algorithms, attention spans, and short-term battles.

But there's a problem. Historically, the MEME coins that truly last are never those that "rise quickly." They all share three common traits: first, a clear, non-reproducible cultural origin; second, the ability to be repeatedly referenced, remixed, and spread, giving them long-term vitality; third, a group of believers who remain steadfast during downturns.

Looking at Spurdo, it doesn't rush to discuss price. Instead, it does something interesting — retrospection. It traces back to the roots of anonymous culture in 2008, to the origins of anti-refinement, anti-packaging, and anti-grand narratives.

While everyone is chasing "smarter MEMEs," Spurdo goes against the grain, continuing to be the "silliest-looking" one. It may sound a bit ironic, but that's the world of MEMEs — the ones who laugh last are often not the smartest, but the ones who are most memorable.

So the real question isn't whether Spurdo can surpass Doge, Pepe, or other competitors. It's whether, when the next generation of MEMEs is written into the history of cryptocurrency, these current coins will still be repeatedly mentioned. If the answer is yes, then the story has only just begun.
