The cryptocurrency market in 2026 may experience interesting differentiation. From an investment perspective, whether it is well-established meme coins or emerging meme projects, all seem to be in a prime opportunity period. Established meme coins, with their brand recognition and community foundation, are expected to continue their market popularity; while new concept meme coins may emerge as dark horses in the next market cycle. This yin-yang pattern perfectly reflects the broader trend of diversification in Web3 assets. Many traders and holders are adjusting their expectations and preparing for this potential breakout year.

Everyone is adjusting expectations, so why do I still have nothing?

Old coins and new coins both have a chance? Sounds good, but the real profit still comes from those early investors who bought the dip. --- What will 2026 look like? No one knows for sure. I only know that those who cut losses now are already regretting it. --- Dark horse? Ha, every time people say there's a dark horse, in the end, retail investors like us still end up losing money. --- The differentiation is real, but how bold do you have to be to heavily invest in new concept meme coins? --- So basically, it's either hold on to old coins or bet on new coins—there's no third way. --- Adjust expectations? My expectations have long been set to the floor. Now it's just about whether we can rebound.

Meme coins are truly flourishing, with both old and new ones having opportunities. This is what Web3 is supposed to look like.

Old-school meme coins or new tokens, honestly it's all about luck. Who can truly predict? Are meme coins really that easy to make money? I feel like I'm just taking the losses. 2026 divergence? Come on, we haven't even stabilized yet this year. A new dark horse sounds good, but who will bear the risk? This cycle doesn't seem as optimistic; maybe I'm overthinking it. Brand accumulation? Some old projects should have faded long ago, and the community is just a paper tiger. Let's wait and see, it might just be another sweep of the sickle. Adjusting expectations is a nice way to put it; in reality, it's just cutting losses and starting over.

In 2026, meme coins will polarize: old coins have a solid foundation, new coins have room for imagination. Let's just leave it at that.

Old meme coins can hold up, new coins also have a chance, but the key is to choose the right pool --- Division is division, but those who truly make money are always that wave of people. What about us? --- Another cut in 2026, I'll just watch --- Black horse market? Every time I hear that, it turns out it's just the same few coins that are rising --- Tired of hearing the word "adjust expectations," better to go all-in than to expect --- New meme coins are too risky, better to bottom fish old coins and be steady --- Year of explosion? First fill in the pits of 2025 before talking --- Listening to "rise and fall" sounds good, but actual operation still depends on luck --- Brand accumulation is nonsense, in the end, Twitter popularity decides life and death
