The two most heartbreaking things about playing with meme coins:

The first kind of pain is watching a certain coin go from a market cap of a few hundred thousand to tens of millions, but you just don't dare to get in. While you hesitate, it takes off, and all you can do is watch helplessly from the sidelines. That regret of "if only I had gone all in" can torment you for days.

Then there's something even worse—you buy into a half-dead project, and as soon as you enter, you're stuck buying at the top. You can't hold on and end up selling at a loss, thinking you'll buy back in at a lower price to save yourself, but it keeps dropping until it hits zero. You think the story is over, but after a while, a new whale picks it up and pumps it for a 10x or 100x run. At that point, your whole mindset basically collapses.
