Dialogue with HTX Buddies Episode 5 | Unveiling Gen Z's Meme Coin Investment Rules
Meme could be迎来更大的FOMO.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, Huobi HTX's new series "#Dialogue with HTX Partners" aired its fifth episode. In this installment, 0xLeon, JustCall19, and Just discussed the topic "Gen Z emerges in the meme coin scene? Young wealth-freedom achievers have something to say!"—revealing Gen Z’s investment preferences and philosophies in the crypto market.
Beginners Need Courage and Caution
0xLeon entered the crypto market in 2021 by chance after encountering FTX and Dogecoin. After experiencing wild market swings—steady declines, sell-offs, and selling too early—he went all-in on Web3. 0xLeon believes that newcomers should first deeply understand themselves and clarify their risk tolerance. There's no need to rush into investing; instead, beginners can start by joining communities to learn from others.
JustCall19 also got into crypto through Dogecoin. He said that playing meme coins requires courage, caution, curiosity, and an openness to new things. Additionally, it's important to build your own meme coin trading framework, conduct thorough research, manage position sizes wisely, and diligently review past trades.
Just describes himself as a typical liquidity follower. In his view, newcomers can learn about memes via X (formerly Twitter), while also studying others’ loss experiences to extract valuable lessons. Just emphasizes that meme coins aren’t suitable for everyone due to their high risk level, so one must objectively assess suitability before trading.
The Right Way to Jump Into Meme Coins
When discussing the right approach to jumping into meme coins, 0xLeon said that meme coins are essentially an ongoing process of shakeouts, with every meme having its own whales or manipulators. Instead of resisting these shakeouts, traders should learn to use them—buying during pullbacks. The key is learning how to pick the right meme coins.
He added that currently he focuses on identifying rotating hot sectors, using algorithmic monitoring to filter meme coins showing potential momentum.
JustCall19 stressed the importance of identifying the current phase of the meme market cycle. If a coin shows a “W” price pattern, buying at the bottom of the “W” could be strategic. Traders can also observe KOL behaviors and analyze their sentiment as an investment reference.
Just leans more toward narrative-driven analysis. He believes that in the long run, a meme coin’s true value ultimately comes down to its story. By researching and understanding narratives before investing, success rates improve significantly. Moreover, proper position management helps reduce unnecessary losses.
As for timing and entry points when jumping into meme coins, JustCall19 noted it's difficult to catch news第一时间 (the original Chinese phrase is kept here as it appears to be incomplete or misused in context; likely meant: "right when it breaks"). Therefore, traders should actively assess a meme coin’s growth potential and focus on the strength of its narrative, rather than hesitating because of others’ entry prices. Just said catching the right timing and entry requires “sitting still and waiting.” One must constantly observe the market, capture information flow, gauge market sentiment, and even monitor government signals.
Regarding current FOMO sentiment and celebrity influence in the meme market, both 0xLeon and Just agree that Dogecoin has become a political symbol thanks to Elon Musk. With its widely distributed large holdings and strong narrative, Dogecoin remains a solid investment choice.
0xLeon analyzed that successful meme coins often share a common trait: deep integration with the real world. Perhaps meme trading will eventually go mainstream. Therefore, meme coins with strong potential to break into the mainstream and backed by celebrities are especially worth watching.
Meme Coins May See Even Greater FOMO Ahead
Talking about future developments for meme coins, 0xLeon pointed out that during the last bull market, meme coins only exploded in the late stages. But in this cycle, meme coins have maintained consistent热度 (heat/popularity) and wealth-creation effects throughout. To drive mass Web2 users into Web3, meme coins play a crucial role—and only at this stage can the meme ecosystem reach its peak development.
JustCall19 and Just believe the meme ecosystem is still underdeveloped and needs stronger industry support. Furthermore, meme coins need broader adoption beyond existing crypto circles to trigger even greater FOMO.
Finally, when asked how Huobi HTX could better serve Web3 users, JustCall19 expressed hope that HTX would innovate further in on-chain trading and on-chain wallet services. 0xLeon and Just emphasized that an exchange’s research capabilities and coin selection skills are critical. They suggested HTX’s listing team stay closely aligned with market trends and recommended inviting experienced Web3 traders to join the research team to help capture market traffic more quickly.
