Have you ever wondered why the hot memes on the chain are always dominated by English MEME? DOGE and PEPE have led the entire narrative, with the Chinese community following closely behind. Our own cultural symbols have become mere sidelines.
Recently, there's an interesting phenomenon worth discussing. A Chinese MEME project appeared on the BSC chain. Without backing from major institutions or celebrity endorsements, it relied solely on community-driven organic spread, pushing the wallet addresses to tens of thousands. This isn't a technological innovation; it's a cultural experiment—using familiar contexts to create memes and leveraging community cohesion to form consensus.
The contrast is clear: in the past, PEPE's rebellion and DOGE's humor defined the MEME narrative, and we could only follow suit; now, some are creating MEMEs with Chinese memes and localized expressions, turning holdings into a form of voting, with each share accumulating discourse power. What does this mean? It suggests that cultural power on the chain may be being redistributed.
Of course, these projects usually don't have complex technical whitepapers, and their promises of tenfold returns are not guaranteed. But they offer the community an outlet—to fight boredom, participate in festivities, and witness the birth of something new. Just like the early Bitcoin forum members, who weren't speculating on prices but recording the start of a new ecosystem through their actions.
The Chinese crypto community shouldn't always be just imitators. If this wave of Chinese MEMEs can establish a foothold, then the next wave of narrative power might very well be in the hands of those willing to try.

Someone finally said it. I've long been uncomfortable with following PEPE trends. How can our own culture be so lacking in confidence?
Wait, a ten-thousand address scale sounds impressive... but can it last? It still feels vulnerable to being exploited.
I agree, cultural discourse power shouldn't always be overshadowed by Western memes. It's our turn now.
If this really takes off, there will definitely be even more intense Chinese MEME coming later. Looking forward to it.
It sounds good, but honestly it's just a gamble for popularity... but how can we know without trying?
Forget it, let's wait and see what happens next. Getting exploited is the real risk.
I respect this logic. On-chain democracy starting with MEME? That's interesting.

The words sound nice, but how many of the addresses with millions of users are truly holders? It's just a bunch of bots and wool party followers jumping on the bandwagon.

Well said, but I still think that most Chinese meme projects ultimately can't escape the fate of "run after a quick pump."
Anyway, addresses holding tens of thousands of tokens, nine out of ten are just insiders trading among themselves. True community cohesion? I doubt it.
If you ask me, it's better to focus on building something truly useful. Don't always think about turning around with cultural symbols. The strongest on-chain are still code and ecosystem.
No matter how fancy you package Chinese memes, without real application scenarios involving actual money, it's all pointless. The core issue isn't cultural power; it's that we simply don't have enough user base.
First, get the product right, then talk about narrative rights. Right now, discussing these feels a bit like putting the cart before the horse.

Wake up, still waiting for the influencer to endorse? Come up with your own meme.
