To be honest, I used to have little regard for meme coins and similar things, thinking they were just hype. But after this wave of market activity, I truly realized what a "dark horse" means—some meme coins have surged in value to outpace spot assets significantly. When the entire market was dull, they actually delivered some astonishing returns.

However, to be fair, this is a double-edged sword. The risks of meme coins are indeed outrageous—unstable liquidity, easy manipulation, and the risk of zeroing out overnight are common occurrences. It seems like a golden opportunity to make money, but you could also lose everything in an instant. My current attitude is: I acknowledge their existence and admit that some can indeed generate excess returns, but you must be very cautious when actually investing. Risks and rewards always go hand in hand, and this is especially true for meme coins.

actually, let me break this down from an econ fundamentals perspective — what you're describing is classic volatility arbitrage meets speculative bubble dynamics. the asymmetric payoff structure of meme coins isn't really about being a "black horse," it's more about the probability distribution being fat-tailed on both ends, ya know?

A dark horse is a dark horse, but I really care more about which coins are "black holes," that's the real focus.

Honestly, I just realized that meme coins are not purely speculative; some can really go crazy. Making money is making money, but going to zero overnight is no joke. I've seen too many brothers get wrecked by all-in bets.

Bro, I also saw this wave of meme coins, and a few of them really went crazy. But I'm still hesitant, afraid of getting cut.
