Prediction: The next generation of successful memecoins won’t rely on “community” at all

Controversial take incoming.

Every memecoin follows the same playbook: “We’re community-driven! Diamond hands! We’re building something special together!”

Then 95% die within 3 months when the “community” realizes there’s no actual reason to hold.

My thesis: The memecoins that survive 2025+ will be the ones that DROP the community theater and just lean into pure utility + meme culture.

What I mean:

Old model (dying):

• “Join our family!”
• Telegram full of forced positivity
• Roadmap promises (NFTs, metaverse, whatever’s trending)
• “Community votes” that don’t matter
• Holding becomes an identity

New model (emerging):

• Just a good meme that spreads organically
• Actual trading infrastructure so people can get in/out easily
• No promises, no roadmap, no pretending it’s more than it is
• Tools that help you TRADE it, not marry it

Example: I use Banana Pro specifically for memecoins BECAUSE it lets me set profit targets and exit automatically. I’m not “part of a community” – I’m catching momentum and taking profits.

Why this matters:

The most successful memecoins (DOGE, SHIB, PEPE) didn’t succeed because of Telegram groups or “community governance.” They succeeded because:

1. The meme was funny/relatable
2. People could easily buy/sell them
3. They spread beyond crypto Twitter

The uncomfortable truth: “Community” is just another word for “bagholders hoping someone else pumps their bags.”

Real communities form AFTER success, not before. DOGE has a community because it survived 8+ years, not because day-one holders were posting rocket emojis.

My prediction for 2025:

Memecoins that focus on:

• Meme quality (actually funny, spreadable)
• Liquidity (easy to trade, good infrastructure)
• Zero promises (just here for the ride)

Will outlast the ones with:

• Fake “community building”
• Elaborate roadmaps nobody believes
• Cultish “never sell” messaging

Question: Am I completely wrong? Do you actually believe in “community-driven” memecoins, or are we all just pretending?

What memecoin “community” have you been in that ACTUALLY felt real vs. just cope?
