"Memes never die."
The reason I initially entered the meme market was because I lacked confidence in making money from futures during a bear market.
All altcoins were tied to Bitcoin, making it too difficult to make money on my own. While searching for a workaround, I stumbled upon the meme market.
While on the meme market, I didn't have to worry about whether Bitcoin was going up or down, and I could focus solely on the tokens I held. While it might be different if the spot market were going up, I loved the fact that meme tokens weren't tied to Bitcoin and had their own independent movements.
In a bear market, trading volume would dry up, and the meme market would be significantly different from before (in terms of difficulty), but good builders could emerge, and bad players could exit.
I think the market could actually improve. I'm not sure about the Ether meme, but even when Bitcoin was stagnant and Solana was trading at $20 or $30, bangers burst out of the Solana meme.
For example, doge and pepe on Ether and bonk on Solana were both born in bear markets. Strictly speaking, neiro, myro, wife, and moodeng also emerged from sideways markets.
