Viewpoint: VC coins and meme coins are not opposed to each other; they cater to different groups.
VC coins are not worthless, and meme coins are not just for pure gamblers—everyone has their own path to walk in crypto.

VC coins and MEME coins are not contradictory; at their core, both revolve around the realization of expectations.
VC coins can be seen as an "open strategy"—accumulated through multiple funding rounds and high CEX listing costs, they start with a high default FDV post-TGE. As such, VC coins must continuously deliver value by actively engaging the broader market and distributing tokens through sustained project development.
"Delivering value" includes activities like points systems, airdrop campaigns, TVL farming, ecosystem building, developer community support, user operations (both farmers and regular users), B2B business model expansion, and more.
The frequency and intensity of these efforts, the vision and determination of the founding team, along with measurable growth in key metrics—users, TVL, trading volume, resources—are all visible indicators that serve as fundamental criteria for users' "value investing" assessments.
In contrast, MEME coins represent a "hidden strategy." Every minute, cleverly crafted "stories" emerge alongside corresponding smart contract addresses, spreading virally across invisible global communities. Through volatile price movements, they continually reset market cap highs, ultimately becoming media-fueled "golden dogs" powered by tales of overnight wealth.
Meme coins leverage information asymmetry and FOMO-driven wealth effects to distribute tokens to a wider audience. Their potential can only be gauged through on-chain data and social sentiment, carrying significant uncontrollable and unknown risks—yet offering highly tempting short-term returns for those who correctly time the momentum.
VC coins and meme coins aren't adversaries—they simply cater to different investor preferences:
For those seeking stable, long-term value appreciation and who define value through team execution and project progress, VC coins offer opportunities to capture evolving narratives and industry trends. Staying aligned with strong projects will eventually yield rewards.
For those chasing short-term riches and high-risk, high-reward opportunities, who excel at identifying asymmetric information and can endure the emotional swings of sudden gains or losses, meme coins may be suitable—profits and losses are a matter of personal destiny.
VC coins aren't worthless, nor are meme coins purely gambler's toys. Everyone walks their own crypto path—why favor one over the other?
