Analysts keep pushing the narrative: 'Memecoins are finished. Only revenue-generating protocols matter now.' But the actual market tells a different story.

Since mid-October, the so-called 'serious' projects have been bleeding hard. PUMP cratered 70%. MET tanked 63% after its token launch on October 23. JUP dropped 58%. LDO fell 56%. HYPE is down 48%. Even AAVE caught the wave.

There's a disconnect between what the talking heads are saying and what's actually happening on-chain. Protocol fundamentals don't always translate to price performance. Market cycles hit everyone—blue chips and memes alike. Whether a token generates revenue or not doesn't seem to be the deciding factor when liquidity dries up and sentiment shifts. The nuance matters more than the narrative.

PUMP0,54%

MET0,11%

JUP0,42%

LDO1,04%

Analysts have all fallen asleep; the on-chain is the real battleground. These so-called fundamentally strong projects are dropping even worse than memes. Why are they still hyping? Narratives can never keep up with the market's pace.

Analysts are all full of nonsense. Why does no one talk about the current miserable state of those "legitimate projects"? Really, good fundamentals are useless; once liquidity evaporates, everyone in the market has to kneel. If I hear "memecoin is dead" one more time, I'll just laugh out loud.

Well... so those "serious" projects still collapsed, no matter how beautiful the narrative, they couldn't withstand liquidity exhaustion. --- To put it simply, good fundamentals ≠ stable coin prices, that's the truth of the crypto world... --- It's hilarious, shouting that memes have no future while watching mainstream protocols fall through the floor, what are analysts thinking? --- Liquidity is the real boss; no matter how strong the fundamentals are, they have to give way. --- After this round, I found that everything is the same; blue-chip memes also have to kneel. --- So what exactly determines the coin price? Seriously asking. --- When market sentiment shifts, all narratives become useless; that's the real truth. --- LDO dropped 56%, and some still dare to promote the "protocol era"? Wake up, everyone. --- The key is still timing and sentiment; everything else is just floating clouds.

Really, those big V's talk sweetly, but their own coins have dropped even more than memes, hilarious --- What’s the use of protocols? When liquidity evaporates, everything is pointless, the market is just so realistic --- AAVE can't even hold up, and they're still bragging about fundamentals... honestly, fundamentals have been outdated for a long time --- Since October, watching these "serious projects" fall one by one, finally someone dares to tell the truth --- Narrative is worth a few bucks, on-chain data is the real deal. Who believed in that story when JUP dropped 58% --- So this is how the crypto world is, whether you're blue-chip or meme, when the wind blows, everyone dies together --- Liquidity dried up, nothing can save it, this is the biggest truth --- Everyone is selling concepts, no one really cares about how you make money --- Sentiment is king, everything else is虚的 --- LDO dropping 56%, does that make those analysts' faces hurt?

The "fundamentals" in the analyst's mouth now sound like a joke. The market has always taught us that actions speak louder than words. Hey, wait a minute, why are those hyping revenue also falling? PUMP down 70%, and we still have to look at the K-line? The so-called serious projects crashing is the real truth. No one cares whether you generate income or not.
