When it comes to meme coins,
it really boils down to two things
@Yi He @CZ
The easy part is holding on and building.
The hard part is enduring the loneliness and keeping your composure.
What’s easy about it?
You don’t need to understand complicated models,
you don’t need to understand white papers,
you don’t need to calculate valuations, build models, or do due diligence.
It’s just one thing:
stick around, then do something.
Post, answer questions, participate, and stay the course.
The barrier to entry is so low that almost anyone can do it.
What’s hard about it?
It’s hard to keep going when nobody sees what you’re doing.
When the market isn’t moving, do you still show up?
When nobody replies to your posts, do you still post?
When everyone else is chasing the latest trend, do you still stay the course?
This isn’t about ability.
It’s about loneliness.
And loneliness is the real barrier to entry.
For much of its ten-year history, DOGE was lonely.
During the six months SHIB traded sideways, it was lonely.
Back when nobody knew PEPE, it was lonely too.
The barrier was never technology;
it was all those days when nobody applauded.
Few people make it through,
so few communities make it to the other side.
Day 1006 of the Little Dog community:
📹 Livestreams have never stopped, reaching up to 700,000 people;
📝 At its peak, 51 of the top 100 trending posts came from ordinary members;
💬 Every question from a newcomer gets answered;
🔗 On-chain addresses are publicly verifiable, and control over the contract has been relinquished.
There’s no project team, and nobody can make decisions on behalf of this community.
Most of these 1006 days have been quiet, but we never stopped.
Why does quiet matter?
Why are the quiet days even more important?
Because when the market is hot, anyone will stick around.
Those who stay when the market is cold—that’s consensus.
Consensus isn’t formed when things are at their busiest; it’s found when the market is cold.
So if you ask, in the loneliest moments, what is the hardest part of this community?
It’s not that nobody believes in us;
it’s being willing to keep going when nobody is watching.
And we’ve been doing that for 1006 days.
Let me be honest in closing:
Holding on and building can’t guarantee results.
Nobody can guarantee them, including me.
But on the other hand,
those who can’t endure the loneliness don’t even get the chance to be part of the outcome.
Do something simple a thousand times, and it becomes the hardest thing of all.
And we’re still doing the hardest thing.
