VC coin and MEME are not contradictory to each other. In essence, they are both issues of expectation fulfillment.
VC coins can be considered as an “open conspiracy”. After rounds of financing, coupled with the high CEX listing costs, the default FDV after TGE will be high. Therefore, VC coins have to sell chips to a wide audience by continuously “doing things”.
The "doing things" category includes points, airdrop activities, TVL Farming, ecosystem Building, developer community maintenance, user (money-collecting group + normal users) operation and maintenance, To B business model expansion, etc.
The frequency and intensity of "doing things", the vision and courage of the founding team, and the data growth of the project (users, TVL, transaction volume, resources, etc.) are all visible indicators and can be used as fundamental evaluation criteria for users' "value investment".
In contrast, MEME coin is a "conspiracy". Every minute, a batch of ingeniously designed "stories" and corresponding SC addresses are generated. They are fermented and spread through invisible communities around the world, constantly refreshing the height of market value amid ups and downs, and finally relying on one story of getting rich quickly after another, they become the "golden dog" in the eyes of the media and the public.
MEME coins will use information asymmetry and the Fomo effect to sell chips to a wider audience. The potential of MeMe coins can only be judged through on-chain data and social sentiment. There are many uncontrollable unknown risks, but betting on the expected increase and returns in the short term is also tempting.
VC coins and MEME coins are not hostile to each other. It can only be said that their preferred user groups are different:
If you prefer long-term stable value growth and tend to define value through the work of the team and the project, choose VC coins, capture various narratives and industry evolution paths, and there will always be gains if you keep up with the team;
If you prefer short-term opportunities to get rich quickly and to make a small investment for a big gain, and if you are good at discovering opportunities for information asymmetry and can withstand the emotional fluctuations caused by getting rich or losing suddenly, then choose MEME coin. Profits and losses will be your own fortune.
VC coins are not to be ignored, and MEME coins are not purely gamblers' toys. Everyone has his or her own Crypto path to take, so why should we favor one over the other?
