Lately, the old playbook isn't cutting it anymore. Market narratives that used to carry momentum for weeks? Now they barely hold up for a couple days before getting liquidated. It's brutal.

Community coins have basically dried up as well. Nobody's running them, nobody's holding them—they're dead weight at this point.

Right now, only two things actually move the needle: strict supply control mechanics and having a heavyweight backer pushing the project. Organic volume in meme coins? You'd be hard-pressed to find any. Everything that pumps has some form of structural advantage or institutional backing behind it. The days of pure community-driven runners are long gone.
