It’s been about two months since I almost completely stepped away from the meme trench.
My life has improved in very noticeable ways. I went back to training consistently, regained the 5 kilos of muscle I had lost while being hyper-focused and “locked in,” started reading books again, and my mind feels much less fried.
The constant frenzy of memes, narratives, PVP battles, and dopamine spikes had been melting my cognition, and now I can finally think more clearly.
At the same time, I miss it.
In my prime, I was able to make serious money in very short periods of time.
I had a sharp eye for spotting valuable narratives extremely early and consistently outperformed 99% of people in that space.
That feeling was addictive.
When I look at the top-performing wallets and traders even today, many of them are still executing thousands of transactions per month.
They live in a constant state of urgency — always watching, always reacting, needing public attention, managing copytraders, staying glued to the timeline, and feeding the machine.
It never really stops.
And yet, statistically, the odds are heavily stacked against us. Most people who dive deep into this world end up burning out, losing money, or sacrificing their mental health and real-life progress for a shot at those rare big wins.
In November 2024, I dropped everything solid I was building: copywriting skills, Dark YouTube channels, direct response marketing — to go all-in on memes.
Looking back, it feels reckless. I still don’t know if it was worth trading something certain for something so volatile and uncertain.
Now I feel a bit lost.
My mind is cleaner, I have more clarity, I made a lot of money, I lost a lot of money, I ended up with a profit in the end, and that was better than most people who went through the world of memecoins.
Life feels more stable now… but part of me still craves going back into the chaos.
The question that keeps circling in my head is: is it really worth it?
How can we do it in a balanced and profitable way?
