Many people have played the "Emotional Special Forces" on BSC—going all-in just by watching a meme, putting logic aside, and following the trend. This kind of gameplay indeed created many wealth stories in the early days, but a problem gradually emerged: the hype on BSC comes quickly and goes just as fast, dazzling like fireworks but hard to sustain.



In contrast, the Meme coin ecosystem on ETH follows a different path. Projects like SHIB and PEPE do not rely solely on emotion; instead, they gradually accumulate through community consensus, turning temporary popularity into a "cultural symbol." From meme breakout to global players' relay dissemination, short-term emotion has transformed into cultural depth that can support value.

There is an essential difference here: Meme coins on BSC are more about "small-scale fun," while Meme coins on ETH leverage the entire ecosystem's foundation, transforming community sentiment into a phenomenon-level market influence. SHIB and PEPE can shake the market precisely because they are backed by a sufficiently deep ecosystem and community consensus.

To put it simply, BSC teaches us that emotion can make money, but ETH makes us understand that combining emotion with a solid ecosystem foundation is the way to build a true "moat."

The term "moat" is used well, but I feel like those Memes on ETH didn't last very long either. All-in is essentially gambling, just on a different chain. Early BSC did make money, but that was good luck catching the right wave. How is PEPE doing now? Is it still around? An ecosystem foundation ≠ moat, honestly. But seriously, Meme coins don't really have any fundamentals to begin with; who can guarantee it's not the next one to go to zero? Why insist on defending BSC projects? They're all gambling anyway.

Everyone who went all-in has lost everything, and you're still hyping BSC? Who still believes now?

That's right, I have cut myself on BSC before, and PEPE definitely has some potential.

Data shows that the recent BSC wave indeed caused significant losses for many people. The heat decay curve per hour is shockingly steep. However, the gas fees in the ETH ecosystem are simply unreasonable. Those who bought the dip at the historical low point of PEPE probably can't smile now. Let's wait and see how long this moat can hold. Honestly, making money from emotions is just survivor bias. Most have already been wiped out. Those who observed the pattern have long since run away. What does SHIB rely on to shake up the market? It's still retail investors taking turns holding it. Miners consume too much, and no matter how deep the ecosystem foundation is, it will eventually collapse—it's just a matter of time. While I agree with the power of consensus, this logic is all paper in a bear market. I still trust data over emotions.

It's too late to wake up; I suffered heavy losses early on by going all-in on BSC. SHIB does have potential, but PEPE... it depends on how long the community can sustain it. The ecosystem foundation is the key; I’ve finally realized that this time. BSC meme coins are just hot potato games; whoever ends up holding the bag is the one who loses. ETH is much more stable, even though the gains aren't as crazy. You're right, cultural moat lasts much longer than emotional hype. I saw it coming a long time ago, but unfortunately, I only hold BSC trash coins. Ecosystem consensus > emotional all-in; this is a painful lesson. PEPE making it this far is truly not easy; the community strength is indeed formidable. Those still playing on BSC are all gambling-minded.

To be honest, SHIB was a correct gamble at the time; the ecosystem support is indeed different.
