In this meme coin market, everyone's focus is still on the old faces like $DOGE, $FLOKI, and $PEPE. But the real opportunity might have shifted to the Ethereum on-chain ecosystem.

A project has recently attracted a lot of attention—its performance within the ETH ecosystem is worth watching. During last year's market cycle, these types of projects experienced gains of 30x to 100x, and that's not an exaggeration; the real data is right there. Currently, Ethereum's strong momentum breaking above $8500, combined with popular projects within the ecosystem, has led some to discuss more aggressive expectations—what's a hundredfold increase, when a thousandfold possibility is also being talked about.

Of course, this involves a dual nature of risks and opportunities. Meme coins are inherently highly volatile, and projects on the ETH chain are no different. But for those tracking market sentiment, this direction is worth paying attention to. Ethereum's upgrade progress and the evolution of its on-chain ecosystem are reshaping the narrative around meme coins.

What do you think? Will a new dark horse emerge in this wave?

DOGE-2.69%

FLOKI-3.21%

PEPE-2.21%

ETH-3.76%

The sound of a thousandfold dream shattering is already very close, but some people still want to take a gamble. ETH on-chain is indeed moving, but to be honest, you need to be mentally prepared to enter now. Those chasing high prices are likely to get burned. Old coins are still old coins, new coins will always shine... There won't be any dark horses this round, just a gambler's carnival. Don't be brainwashed by hundredfold or thousandfold returns. If there were really such good opportunities, the big players would have gobbled them up long ago. Beautiful data looks good, but cutting in is truly ruthless. I'll wait and see, and talk about it when the hype dies down one day. Ethereum on-chain is just so-so; it mainly depends on who can tell a more compelling story. If you ask me, entering now is just gambling with the big players, losing more than winning.

The thousandfold dream hasn't woken up yet, and you're already talking about the dark horse on the ETH chain. Brother, you're really something. DOGE hasn't had enough this round, why rush? Instead of waiting for the new dark horse, it's better to focus on what can move now. Too many people have lost money on "the next one."

A thousand times? Bro, first tell me the project name. It's no fun to just hype without knowing. There are indeed opportunities on the ETH chain, but it's full of zeroing coins. Don't be fooled by the storytelling. You haven't even moved on from Dogecoin, and you're already chasing new projects. That mindset is problematic. What happened to the projects that 100x last year? Has anyone tracked them, or do you only remember the wave of profits? In this market cycle, anyone daring to play meme coins with a thousand times return will end up losing everything.

Honestly, the thousandfold dream is getting a bit tired; every round, someone says the same thing. I'm also watching those projects on the ETH chain, but I need to distinguish which ones are truly eco-friendly and which are just pure cash grabs. DOGE will always be DOGE, but you're right, new opportunities are indeed migrating. I'm just worried that this round will be another hype-driven project that dies after the hype fades; everyone who's been around knows this. I actually want to know which specific project is worth deep diving into; just talking about the direction is too vague.

A thousand times dream or a thousand times trap, to be honest, I am becoming more cautious about these new projects on the ETH chain. Old coins like DOGE still have consensus, but new projects are too risky and are more likely to go to zero.

Everyone loves to talk about a thousandfold dream, but few truly dare to all in. There are indeed many projects on ETH, but I'm just worried they might turn out to be the next rug pull. That 30-100x wave last year is now a bit embarrassing to talk about. It's right to be optimistic about the ETH ecosystem, but don't get brainwashed by the narrative. A new dark horse? It's not too late to follow the trend once it appears. Right now, it's all gambler's mentality.

Old coins are still old coins, only new things have stories to tell The ETH chain this time really has something, but the thousandfold claim... just listen and forget about it DOGE has been played out, still need to look at new projects within the ecosystem for opportunities Can this time really produce a dark horse? Honestly, it's a bit uncertain The risk is terrifyingly high, but not jumping in will really lead to regret At this price level, the on-chain ecosystem is definitely worth a glance 30 to 100 times is the norm, I've also had the dream of a thousandfold Who will ultimately survive is uncertain The key is to see who can keep up with ETH's pace New narratives and new opportunities, it all depends on who can seize them

Bro, this analysis still has some value. Meme coins in the ETH ecosystem are indeed underestimated. A thousandfold dream is really just a dream, but in reality, 99% of them go to zero. It all depends on whether you're one of the 1% lucky ones. Old coins like DOGE have long been played out by institutions. Fresh blood should really look on-chain. By the way, do you have any specific projects, or are you just talking nonsense again? This market is a gambler's feast. Talking about risks and opportunities is really a bit hypocritical; it's pure gambling. I don't know if there will be a dark horse in the ETH ecosystem, but I am sure most people are just taking the bag holders' sticks.
