Regarding those meme coins born from celebrity tweets, there's a reality that needs to be faced: a single statement from the issuer may be just a casual remark, but it doesn't necessarily represent long-term approval or ongoing promotion. Chasing after such assets is like betting that the issuer will repeatedly mention the same concept—but the truth is often not the case.

Taking recent examples, some traders go all-in based on opinions from thought leaders, only to find that the leader shifts to a different topic. The lifecycle of meme coins is often so fragile. The risk and reward are severely disproportionate.

Someone asked whether projects like $plushify are worth investing in. Honestly, it depends on your risk tolerance. If you're betting on short-term hype cycles, be prepared—you're at risk of being cut at any time. If you're expecting value accumulation, meme coins in general are difficult to provide that.

Before investing, ask yourself three questions: Does this coin have practical applications? Does the issuer continue to support this project? Can you handle losing everything? If the answer is "no" to any of these, then think carefully before proceeding.

It's really incredible how one sentence can kill a bunch of people. Celebrities casually mention it, and people go all-in; isn't this just setting up for a dump? Exactly, meme coins are just gambling on short-term hype. Without fundamentals backing them, they'll cool off sooner or later. Aren't the three questions just nonsense? Asking yourself the first one should make it clear that this thing isn't really useful.

Another article advising people to stay calm, and it's true, but who listens?

It's the same meme coin rug pull scheme, I'm already tired of it. Speaking of which, a single word from a celebrity can start the printing press, it's really outrageous. All-in followers are the ones being harvested; it's time for everyone to wake up.

Based on on-chain data, I’ve long figured out this method of scamming for quick profits. A single word from a celebrity can pump the market, then they turn around and withdraw—classic coin washing process. I’ve tracked the wallet addresses of those all-in traders—fund flows are obvious, and major players have long since run away. $plushify? Ha, the suspicious transaction pattern is clear—this is a standard pump-and-dump tactic.

Another celebrity coin, really, it’s always the same every time. Just one sentence can cut a wave of people, so true. --- Plushify? I advise you to stay calm, this thing is just a short-term gamble, don’t go all-in. --- Wait, this logic doesn’t add up, meme coins originally have no real application, so what’s the point of hype... --- After being cut once, I realized that the issuer’s words are not worth anything at all, they forget as soon as they turn around. --- Is risk proportional? Don’t be ridiculous, meme coins are just gambling, win and brag, lose and stay silent. --- Asking three questions, and all the answers are "no," then what’s the point of buying? Just donate to the exchange. --- Honestly, I’ve seen too many people follow the trend and chase high, only to end up at zero. Those who need to wake up still need to wake up. --- If you can’t handle going to zero, then don’t touch it. That’s just how it is, there’s nothing more to say.

It's another old saying: "Don't chase the hot trends," but it really isn't wrong... --- Basically, it's betting on the speaker's words; you can't win against that. --- Plushify? Never heard of it, but I know the type... --- The lifespan of meme coins is so short, just a repost. --- The key is, can those who go all-in really withstand going to zero? I have my doubts. --- Those three questions are good, but most people simply don't ask themselves. --- A celebrity's words can make you money or bankrupt you; this game is too risky. --- The idea that risks are not proportional isn't wrong, but there will still be people rushing in... human nature. --- The most important thing is mental preparation for going to zero; if you don't have that, don't touch it. --- The issuer turns around and talks about something else, while holders are still dreaming.

It's the same story again, claiming meme coins will double every day, then suddenly running away.
