Why do Meme projects die so quickly? Simply put, it's one reason—explosive popularity, but infrastructure can't keep up. Suddenly, traffic floods in, but the platform can't handle it, ultimately leading to a dead end.
Looking at it from a different perspective, some projects are actually working on long-term development. They are not rushing to consume all the hype in one wave, but instead focus on building solid foundational infrastructure—allowing traffic to settle and take root. This way, Meme projects are no longer just a flash in the pan, but can go further. With the infrastructure in place, the project has a real chance to survive.

Infrastructure is a very correct point. A bunch of projects are just trying to ride the hype, without thinking about how to support this wave of people.
---
Another story about infrastructure, but how many are truly willing to settle down and do it?
---
I have to say, this is the right way. Instead of going viral overnight and then cooling off, solidly laying the groundwork is the real skill.
---
Hey, if the infrastructure isn't done well, all the hype is useless. I've seen too many projects like this.
---
So, when looking at Meme projects now, the main thing to look at is these three words—can it hold up?
---
This logic is so clear, but the problem is most teams simply don't have the patience to wait for that day.
---
Deeply agree, if you don't build a good flow container before pouring in traffic, won't it explode?

It should be pointed out that although this view touches on the surface, it fundamentally overlooks key factors. On-chain data shows that the mortality rate of Meme projects is not strongly correlated with popularity curves; the real issue lies in the lack of a sedimentation mechanism for value consensus. The core technological principle emphasized by Satoshi Nakamoto in the white paper—the decentralized incentive design—is precisely what most Meme projects lack. Infrastructure is certainly important, but without the ability to build a sustainable economic model, everything is in vain.

That's right, it's just greed for speed. A bunch of project teams are eager to start siphoning funds on day one, never thinking about how to retain users.
Infrastructure is easier to talk about than to do. How many are really willing to invest?
After this Meme cycle, the landscape has really opened up.
If you ask me, projects that can survive more than three months need to be studied carefully.
Wait, isn't this talking about certain projects? Take it as a cue.
It seems that some projects are quietly working on infrastructure now, and it's quite solid.

Really, I've seen too many projects that are just eager for quick profits. After the dream of overnight wealth shatters, nothing is left.
Infrastructure is indeed the line between life and death, not some mysticism.
You're right, long-termism is the way to survive; short-term players will eventually crash.

If the infrastructure is not solid, no matter how popular the meme is, it's useless
---
Well said, but unfortunately 99% of project teams just want to make a quick profit
---
That's why I only work with projects that have a team and real development; no matter how hot they are, I won't touch them
---
Damn, someone finally said it—there are too many abandoned projects
---
Sounds like you're talking about my portfolio... but it's true
---
Remember those memes that died in two months? It's all because of this problem
---
A proper architecture can truly change your fate; I've never seen a project with strong infrastructure collapse in the short term
---
The hardest part of long-term thinking is resisting the temptation of hype
---
So do people still believe in new memes now? They're all cannon fodder
