Yesterday, crypto friends were showing off tenfold profit screenshots in the group, and today, one by one, they all disappeared. After the crazy wave of Meme coins at the start of the year, things took a sharp turn—two popular Meme coins experienced a cliff-like crash, causing retail investors who chased the highs to fall into trouble within 24 hours.

Looking at the candlestick charts, the scene is quite grim. One coin dropped from a high of $0.48 yesterday all the way down to $0.33, a decline of over 30%, with trading volume halving. The group was full of complaints like "Bought in at $0.4, now I want to cry." The other was even worse—plunging from a peak of $0.09 straight down to $0.045. Those who shouted "making big money this year" are now trapped, with tears of despair.

This decline actually has signs to follow. On-chain data shows that large holders have been offloading early. A whale address's holdings share dropped from 60% to 45%. The chips with a cost basis of only $0.05, just a few sell-offs, could double in value. The ones taking over? All chasing the high retail investors. Even more heartbreaking is that liquidity risk in the crypto market is truly deadly. Even top platforms have experienced extreme flash crashes. Although there was a rebound afterward, it’s enough to illustrate the problem—Meme coins without real backing, relying solely on hype, will trigger a mass exodus at the slightest disturbance.

Looking back at crypto history, this kind of Meme frenzy has never escaped the same fate.

It's the same old trick again. Whales sell off first, and retail investors only wake up afterward. Being half a beat late means a huge loss.

I've already said it. On-chain data shows that the whale address dropped from 60% directly to 45%. Isn't this a typical sign of distribution? According to multi-address tracking, chips bought at a cost of 0.05 can be doubled with a casual throw, and the bagholders are just retail investors digging their own graves. Look at those people in the group who were shouting ten times yesterday; today they have all disappeared. It's obviously a wash token scheme. Once the liquidity trap is triggered, this purely hype-driven Meme coin immediately reveals its true nature. I’ve long suspected this. Getting caught like this? Haven't you looked at the on-chain data, brother? This is a man-made cliff. According to on-chain data, the flow of funds has long revealed the details. Suspicious wallet behavior is obvious, and this wave of decline was completely premeditated. After analysis and judgment, retail investors chasing the high had no chance; the whales had already locked onto the target address and prepared to escape. This is the fate of Meme coins. Behind every frenzy is carefully designed capital linkage. Without on-chain thinking, you simply can't see through it.

This is the crypto world—it's always the same show. Whale's cost is 0.05, and we buy in at 0.4—just thinking about it makes me speechless. Meme coins will never change this routine; next time, we'll just keep falling into the trap. Big influencers disappear so quickly; yesterday they were shouting about ten-thousand-fold gains. On-chain data has long indicated the truth, but some people still insist on chasing the high and throwing money away.

Whales win again, retail investors lose again. This is the game rule of meme coins. --- Looking at on-chain data, it's clear that it's not a sudden crash, but just the market makers' routine harvest. --- Honestly, I feel sorry for the friends who bought in at 0.4. There's really no way to avoid this wave. --- It’s always like this—after a peak, it’s endless hell. Meme coins are just a vicious cycle. --- That flash liquidity crash completely made me lose interest in these coins without solid fundamentals. --- People who disappeared from the group are probably licking their wounds. Next year will be another round of chasing highs. --- Doubling the chips bought at 0.05 cost—this is why I only watch but don't buy.
