There's something I’ve been thinking about. A meme coin with such a wild name has actually made a splash in the Alpha circle. This is not luck.

What does this reflect? How far a project can go no longer depends on whitepapers or traditional fundraising stories. Continuous development and community consensus—that's the true core. As industry insiders often say, the rules are being redefined.

Recently, the projects related to Elon Musk concepts have become increasingly obvious. Just like $DOGE, $PEPE, and $SHIB back in the day—these coins don’t rely on flashy packaging or complex narratives. They depend on being bold and inherently meme-like, with the entire community pushing them upward. No complicated marketing jargon, no meticulously crafted publicity—just pure consensus power.

How far can they go? Who knows. But at least at this moment, this is a result fought for by the community itself. The voice has officially shifted from the project team back into the hands of the community.

What do you think? What will be the next project pushed onto the stage by community consensus? Share your thoughts in the comments.

DOGE-1,27%

PEPE-1,21%

SHIB-1,47%

The white paper is outdated; now it's all about building community cohesion.

nah, "community consensus" is just another way of saying who has the loudest telegram. learned this the hard way watching $SHIB bagholders cope. 🤷

The rise of this wave of meme coins shows one thing: the white paper is dead, and the community is king.

Community power is indeed awakening. The old whitepaper approach should have been phased out long ago. Really, what does the rise of this wave of meme coins indicate? It shows that we are no longer being brainwashed by the narrative of being cut for profits. What will be the next? I bet related to Dogecoin will rise again. Oh wait, those Musk-related concepts are really getting more and more wild, I like it. Pure community consensus driving it—this is what decentralization should look like. Whitepapers have been deceiving us for so many years, and now it's finally the community's turn to speak. Within two months of betting, will a new meme coin hit the trending searches again? The atmosphere is so good, does it mean it's time to bottom fish? The right to speak returns to the community, which means project teams will have to step aside.

To be honest, no one has been reading the white paper for a long time. Now it's just about who can stir up emotions. The so-called community consensus sounds nice, but it's still about gambling on luck and timing. Next? Whatever, it's all just the same story that's been played out and ruined. The coin that could break out, I've already gone all in on it, but if you ask me which one, I can't say for sure.

The whole white paper approach should have been outdated long ago, well said.
