In every cycle of the crypto market, animal-themed tokens seem to play an important role. From the rise of DOGE to the market performance of SHIB, these projects reflect retail investor psychology and community strength.

Recently, a new project has attracted some attention in community discussions — reportedly developed by some veteran developers and claiming to have "explosive genes." Such projects typically emphasize several characteristics: the background of the team, the community's historical resilience, and the project's early market performance.

Looking at past cycles, similar projects have indeed experienced multiple waves of volatility and market tests in their early stages. In previous market rallies, increases of 30x to 100x are not uncommon in the crypto space. The key issue is that each animal coin craze has its specific historical context — Bitcoin cycles, institutional participation levels, and overall market sentiment.

If DOGE represented the early retail frenzy, and SHIB embodied the power of community consensus, then the logic of new projects is to find the next hot spot amid market rotations. But history also reminds us that each "next" opportunity requires fundamental support — whether through technological innovation, application scenarios, or genuine community activity.

What stage is the current crypto market in? How are the mainstream coins performing? What is the risk-reward ratio of emerging projects compared to others? These are the questions worth deep consideration. Market rotations do exist, but investment logic should be based on an understanding of cycles, not just on past gains.

DOGE-2,28%

SHIB-3,11%

BTC-1,13%

Another "explosive gene"—heard it too many times, wake up everyone. Just listen, don't really believe this nonsense; 100x gains are all survivor bias. DOGE has been played out, SHIB is outdated, so what makes this new project any different? Basically, it's gambling on market sentiment. No matter how strong the team background is, if the fundamentals are poor, it's useless. It depends on how the mainstream coins move first; that's the real signal. Small coins following the trend and speculating is pointless.

Honestly, I've heard too many stories of 30x and 100x returns, and most of them end up being textbooks for bagholders. Wait, what exactly is this so-called "explosion gene"? It sounds just like marketing hype. Another animal coin? I really can't take it anymore. It feels like every one claims to be the next DOGE. More important than fundamentals is who is still trading animal coins in this round. Institutions have already moved on to other things. Community resilience sounds good, but in reality, it's just someone cutting leeks. The key is to look at the distribution of holdings—whether there are many big players or not, it's all clear. A 100x return sounds great, but you have to survive until that day. Talking about market rotation every day, but really, it's just about who gets cut next. I don't dare to touch these projects now. The last trend already taught me enough bloody lessons.

It's the same old routine with animal coins again. Every time they claim to have explosive potential, but what’s the result? I’ve heard about so-called veteran developers, but I’ve heard that line too many times. In the end, it’s just a dump. 30x, 100x returns are indeed tempting, but how many actually make money? Most are just bagholders. I don’t deny the power of the community, but without fundamental consensus, it’s just a bubble. As for this round of market, what should we bottom fish? I think I’ll wait and see the rhythm of the mainstream coins first. I want to ask, how many people have actually looked at the project team’s code and whitepaper? Probably not many. Forget it. Instead of obsessing over what’s next, it’s better to consider whether the current risk-reward ratio is worth it. This is the fate of crypto. Someone will always try to replicate the DOGE myth, but probability theory doesn’t lie.

Honestly, it's another animal coin and explosive genes. I'm already tired of hearing about it. 30x, 100x? You'd have to get really lucky. Most people are just bagholders.

Honestly, it's the same "explosive gene" rhetoric that I've heard so many times, my ears are getting calloused. 30x, 100x are things of the past; the times are completely different now. A strong team and a resilient community? These two words can be applied to any animal coin. What's the difference? Still the same point: without real applications, it's just gambling. Don't deceive yourself.

lol "explosive genes" 💀 actually if you read the contract you'd see the vesting schedule dumps like clockwork. called this months ago, textbook greater fool theory wrapped in dev credibility. 30-100x? sure, and i'm a shitcoin billionaire. the real question nobody asks is when the insiders start dumping.

Basically, it's just the same old trick of scamming retail investors, just with a different disguise and hype. 30x, 100x? Just listen and forget it. Most people are already holding at a high point when they take the bait. Fundamentals? Most meme coins don't have any at all; it's just gambling on luck and emotions. Do I really need to ask who is making money this round? It's definitely not us.
