Recently, the popularity of Chinese Meme Coins in the crypto market may seem sudden but actually follows a pattern.

At its core, it’s about the ignition of emotions and consensus. When the zodiac culture is well executed, it can indeed become an excellent storytelling element—especially the Year of the Horse with the meaning of "immediate wealth," which naturally has viral potential. Coupled with viral social media spread, the amplification by KOLs, and the capital outflow effect during a bull market, an "emotional storm" is formed.

Project teams are well aware of this. They blend zodiac elements and holiday trends, set low participation thresholds, and generate high topic heat, triggering FOMO among retail investors one after another. During periods of ample liquidity, they quickly complete the cycle from concept to wealth creation story. When some make money, more follow suit, creating a spiral upward.

Essentially, this is a resonance carnival of group psychology and capital power. Every participant is both a driver and a follower. The market will not stop this game unless liquidity dries up and emotions cool down.

I missed the wave of the Year of the Horse, now jumping in just makes me the bag holder. That said, the zodiac set is truly unique, even more viral than any Doge skin. Wait for the next holiday hotspot, the cycle is just like that. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have studied fundamentals; just following the trend can also make money.

The "Money is coming soon" meme is really hilarious, I didn't expect zodiac signs to be played like this. Basically, it's a FOMO harvesting machine; no one can escape. Once liquidity dries up, the hype immediately cools down to ice. The zodiac meme really hits retail investors' pain points, I have to admit. This round is truly an emotional game; those who made profits should have cashed out early.

This wave of "Soon There Will Be Money" is truly amazing. The zodiac meme is a telltale sign of whether you’re in or out. But honestly, it’s all about timing; if you come late, you’re just the bagholder. --- It’s always like this—someone makes a fortune, and only then do others start rushing in. By the time you realize it, you’re already trapped. --- Group psychology is really skillful here. FOMO hits everyone, and no one can resist. I just ask, who’s still not on board? --- The day liquidity dries up is the real death knell. At that point, it’s all about who can run faster. --- Zodiac culture + holidays + low entry barriers—this combo is basically a retail trap, but I still can’t help but want to join in. --- You’re right, but saying this is all just a money grab is too one-sided. Some people really have made real money from this wave. --- Wait, are you saying that all of this is under the project team’s control? Then my gains during this period are probably all premeditated. --- The most ruthless are those projects that hit the perfect timing—catching the bull market, zodiac year, and holidays all at once. It’s a perfect convergence of timing, location, and people. --- At the end of the day, it’s a capital game. Some enter, some exit. The key is knowing whether you’re in or out.
