Memecoins should return to the 2020 bull market model.
We'll see stronger, more sustainable projects and more $1B+ memes when people stop bidding narratives and start bidding hard-working teams.
Today, narratives are just a game of musical chairs. A new trend appears, everyone rotates, and 24 hours later it's forgotten. Most of these plays depend on speculation and hoping a founder, influencer, or celebrity tweets about them.
The best memecoins weren't built overnight. They were built by teams shipping every single day, creating content, growing communities, and relentlessly marketing.
I'd even argue that bringing back sustainable treasury models (like buy/sell taxes that fund long-term marketing) would create healthier ecosystems than endless 0% launch-and-dump coins. Great marketing isn't free.
Imagine a market where people reward execution instead of chasing the next 24-hour narrative.
Build > hype.
Teams > narratives.
Conviction > attention spans.
