When I was flipping to the final post of the @MemeMax_Fi Fake Money Fantasy event, I suddenly realized one thing:


This thing isn't just for fun; it's about behavioral conditioning.

A bunch of people use fake money to open 10x, 20x leverage,
staring at fake PnL and laughing foolishly,
experiencing the entire emotional cycle of liquidation, FOMO, impulsive trading.
On the surface, it's just a meme,
but underneath, it's recreating the most dangerous and authentic psychological curves of real trading.

The key is in what comes after.
It doesn't let you stop at "enjoy and leave."
Instead, it pushes you directly from simulation into the live trading structure.

100x leverage is right there.
The order book doesn't read indicators; it reads community enthusiasm.
Fees aren't paid by the platform; they're fully repurchased in $M.
Culture, emotion, participation—this is the first time they are genuinely integrated into liquidity.

This threatens the stability of many old projects' livelihoods.
Because they've always relied on a shared consensus:
memes can only be a casino, only luck-based.
Once someone seriously develops tools, mechanisms, and long-term gameplay,
the entire "pull and run" logic will collapse.

MemeMax is forcing everyone to admit one thing:
the degen fantasy itself can be engineered.

You first practice reactions, strategies, and emotional control in "fake money,"
and when the real launch happens,
you're not entering for the first time,
but you've already gone through countless internal tests.

This step is actually very ruthless.
It addresses the most stubborn flaw of retail traders—
thinking memes are just for fun,
thinking seriousness means losing,
thinking all participation is just a side show.

But that's no longer the case.
Fantasy is the entry point,
mechanisms are for retention,
Pack is for behavior recording.

You can continue to treat memes as jokes.
Or you can start to see degen as a skill that can be trained.
MEME-1,22%
DEGEN-1,96%
PACK-1,46%
KAITO-1,66%
