After a certain exchange posted a Chinese meme about futures, let's discuss whether meme research is really a form of mysticism.

A certain leading exchange recently listed a contract for a Chinese meme project, and this has had a significant impact on the overall on-chain meme community’s mentality. For those diamond hands who have persisted on BNB Chain, this wave can be considered a reward.

Many people think that meme is just pure gambling, but those who have actually operated in this space know that this stuff is indeed different from the PE valuation of the US stock market, but it’s not blind guessing either. Those who put in real effort—such as tracking the activities of various CEXs, analyzing the resonance of a meme among retail investors in different regions, and studying the turning points of community sentiment—will definitely have a much higher win rate than blindly rushing in.

The term “investment research” sounds mysterious, but basically it means: if your research can continuously improve your chances of making money, then this approach is reliable. Data will speak for itself.

I’ve been paying attention to this project for a long time. When its market cap dropped from 500 million to 100 million, many people cursed and ran away, but that shakeout actually weeded out the floating capital. Now that the contract is listed and the price has risen, some say “it fell because people blame the exchange, the exchange doesn’t dare to let it fall”—this logic doesn’t hold up, and moral coercion can’t solve market problems.

But I also won’t short it. The significance of the first Chinese Ticker symbol is right there; emotions are unpredictable, and you can’t tell where the ceiling is. Short-term rises and falls are market behaviors, but if you recognize the cultural consensus behind this meme, holding long-term is actually a more rational choice.

As for whether it will “skyrocket overnight”? That’s unlikely. No project’s trajectory is a straight line; pullbacks and shakeouts are normal. The key is whether the diamond hands can laugh last—that’s the ultimate test of meme investing.

Patience? I think I have a bit of confidence in that.
