What if the meme you're fading today becomes the one everyone is chasing tomorrow?
This is the eternal degen dilemma. You skip the dog coin at $2M mcap because "it's just another meme" - then watch it rip to $200M while you're stuck holding bags of "fundamentals."
The meta keeps shifting. Last cycle it was dog coins. This cycle? AI agents, weird experiments, whatever captures attention for 48 hours.
The real alpha isn't picking every winner. It's having conviction when you see something early, taking small bets on narrative shifts, and not letting FOMO destroy your risk management after you fade something.
Most memes die at $500K. The ones that don't? They were usually obvious in hindsight - strong community, relentless marketing, or perfect timing on a macro narrative.
Don't fade everything. Don't ape everything. Play the middle with position sizing that lets you sleep.
