The brainrot narrative has absolutely dominated meme culture this cycle—practically every trending meme gets lumped into that bucket. Thing is, most projects riding the wave lack real substance. But here's what caught my attention: when a genuinely competent team actually steps into this space with a solid execution plan, you're looking at serious upside potential. The ceiling isn't some random pump. Compare it to how Wojak evolved in the cultural landscape—that's the kind of staying power we could be seeing. Right now, most brainrot coins are just noise. But the one with a proper foundation, actual utility roadmap, and seasoned builders behind it? That's the outlier that could actually break through the noise and establish real value.

Brain rot is like panning for gold in a noise heap; only truly capable teams can turn things around. --- Honestly, follow-the-trend projects are all trash; only teams with execution power are worth jumping on. --- How long can Wojak's approach last? The key still depends on whether the team is reliable. --- Most brain rot coins are indeed disappointing, but when encountering genuine builders, it's a different story. --- Projects with poor execution are a waste; those with a clear roadmap and experience are the breakthrough. --- Meme coins are numerous, but projects that can actually produce something are extremely rare. --- This round of brain rot is filled with too much noise; you need to find those outliers with a solid foundation and plan. --- There are too many follow-the-trend bad projects, but truly capable teams can see different growth. --- Persistence depends on execution, not just narrative-driven hype.

Basically, it's about the big waves washing away the sand. 99% of brain-dead coins are just for profit, and only that 1% is worth paying attention to.

In essence, it's a big wave of淘沙, now everyone's mind is full of nonsense but 99% are trash. Truly capable teams are scarce, but once they appear, you can see something different. Most people are still gambling, a few are building. The Wojak approach can indeed survive, but only if you truly have something. The current problem is how to find projects that "have something," which is very difficult. A bunch of bandwagoners just know how to copy and paste, and their roadmaps are all lies. Projects with actual products are few and far between. It feels like investing in brain rot now is more about betting on the team than on the concept.

Finding signals in the noise simply depends on whether the team has real execution power. Most brain-dead coins? Just cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Brain腐币 is everywhere, but only a few can really survive... I bet only about a few SOLs worth of projects will make it. Following trend projects is just an IQ tax; just by reading the white paper, you can tell that the next one might be that one. Having a reliable team is the key; everything else is just talk. Experienced builders can create something different. That's right, Wojak is a good example; it’s still popular today, while others have already died out. There’s too much noise; we need to learn how to discern and not get blinded by memes.
