I've bought and held two tokens now for the past 8 days. I miss the old days of believing
Average hold times by Solana wallets over the last 750 days
This week 2 years ago: 1.48 DAYS
Now: 60 seconds
Think about what has changed
2024: Memecoins were communities, people with 9-5's could participate, they could buy and sleep, hit raids when they had time.
2026: Hyper reactive scalp trading against streamers, bots & malicious wallets. Nobody can participate, and if you do you get rinsed.
Look who the launchpads interact with
Are they good for the space or extractive?
Look at the updates platforms push
Are they doing anything to help you spot malicious tokens?
Buyers need to increase their standards again, vet your devs, look for genuine humans and build together.
Or we can watch this chart go zero.
