Been hunting for that next low-cap gem on the charts lately, and something's been catching my eye. Checked with a few traders doing the TikTok rounds, and the takes are all over the map.

One camp reckons the viral moment already peaked—last week was the top. Meanwhile, others are betting hard this could be the biggest TikTok-driven trend we see through 2026. Pretty different vibes. Then there's chatter floating around about $BUTTONS potentially pulling in millions in volume. Could be nothing, could be something.

That's the real tension in low-cap hunting right now—spotting real momentum versus just catching the tail end of the hype cycle.

Low-tier trading is all about gambling mentality; it's hard to see through it. $BUTTONS feels like the next tool for cutting leeks. TikTok trend? Wait before jumping in. Now entering might just make you the bag holder. Was last week's peak really the peak? It's a bit uncertain. Feels like a game of musical chairs; whoever ends up holding the bag is doomed. The secondary market is so competitive; it's better to go for new coin listings. Agreed, the hardest part of low-tier trading is timing the entry—going in too early means quick losses, too late means missing out on gains. With such low volume, I can't believe the hype about trading volume and transaction amounts. Waiting for the main players to dump before considering entering. If you go in now, you're just throwing your money away.

TikTok selling low-cap tokens is really a gamble on human nature. Some say the peak has passed, while others claim it can rise until 2026. Who the hell is actually right?

ngl $BUTTONS That commotion, really no one can predict... I've seen too many cases of sudden popularity followed by instant zeroing out.

The coins brought by TikTok are all like this, with the latecomers waiting to buy at high prices.

ngl, $BUTTONS kind of stuff is just a gambler's playground, real gems are hardly found on TikTok until now. This round of low cap really relies entirely on gambling; no one can tell if it's momentum or the last frenzy of the bagholders. Viral things are most afraid of this—brothers shouting about 2026 being the biggest trend might be gone by next week.
