The memecoin and NFT sectors tell a sobering story—roughly nine out of ten projects have cratered below 90% from their all-time highs. It's brutal out there. The real question isn't just what happened, but what it means for the industry going forward. There's definitely a lesson hiding in those numbers. Problem is, plenty of us are still trying to figure out what it actually is. The market cycles through hype, speculation, and reality checks. Maybe that's the education we're getting right now.

90% down? reminds me of UST in May... statistically speaking, this is just the market doing its thing. natural selection, really.

90% decline? Ha, that's just the tuition fee for Web3. Anyway, I didn't expect those shitcoins to turn around.

90% decline... Oh my, those numbers are eye-catching. Not many have survived actually.

Ninety percent of projects have dropped 90%. This is the tuition we paid. Let's see who still dares to claim memecoin is the future.

Ninety percent of the projects have been cut in half. What are you still pondering? You should have seen clearly by now that this is just a show of harvesting naive investors.
