Recently, Chinese Meme coins have been frequently trending, and the underlying logic is actually quite clear—simply put, it's the instant ignition of emotions.

Taking the "马上有钱" (Get Rich Quickly) meme related to the Year of the Horse as an example, the zodiac culture itself carries inherent viral genes. Coupled with popular topics around the Spring Festival, viral social media dissemination, influential KOLs setting the tone, and abundant capital during a bull market, an "emotion rocket" is launched.

Project teams are very clever, combining traditional zodiac culture with crypto narratives, using low entry barriers and high topic relevance to attract retail investors. Once the FOMO mentality is triggered, and with sufficient liquidity, stories of wealth creation can quickly take shape.

In essence, this is a resonance feast between group psychology and capital power. Whoever can capture the emotional window faster wins.

MEME-1,66%

FOMO-1,78%

Making money soon? Losing money soon is about the same, another round of the leek-cutting show.

I've already seen through it all—it's just an emotional cycle. Next time they'll switch up the gimmick and keep harvesting.

The meme "Money is coming soon" is really hilarious. I was one of the newbies brought in by the KOL. --- FOMO is so real. Once the wallet heats up, I can't control myself. --- Wait, isn't this just a leek harvesting machine? Why am I falling into the trap again? --- The winner is definitely the project team. We're just here for fun. --- The zodiac card game is played so skillfully. Next time, some hot meme will take off again. --- Low threshold is the real killer move. Anyone can join in. --- The Spring Festival market trend really gets people excited. Can't stop. --- Basically, it's a matter of timing. Those who got in early in the morning will get rich early. --- Emotional window? Bro, that's just gambling mentality. --- A bull market with ample funds can inflate any bubble.

This trick, when broken down, is just a liquidity game; the key is how long the node distribution can hold up. Once the consensus mechanism collapses, you'll know what's real and what's fake. FOMO stimulation ≠ network stability; it will eventually be exposed.

nah this is just textbook market entropy wrapped in lunar calendar paper... watched the exact same price deviation pattern back in '21 with doge honestly 🤷 the real play isn't the meme itself, it's timing that liquidity cascade right before the rug inevitably pulls

On-chain data shows that the deployment times of this wave of meme coins' contracts are clustered around the Chinese New Year. Notably, the liquidity lock-up periods are generally short, and from the code, it appears that the project team had already planned the exit strategy long ago.

well technically this is just behavioral economics with extra steps and zodiac marketing™ lol. the "emotional rocket" bit—imagine if we formalized that as a proof sketch for why retail keeps getting rekt. fun fact: cultural memes have higher virality coefficients than utility, which is exactly why this works.
