Memecoins: A Reflection of Disillusionment

Memecoin：幻灭的反映

Hao Yang, Head of Financial Products at Bybit exchange, attributes the recent success of memecoins to a sense of disillusionment among younger generations, similar to the rise of punk rock music.

Bybit交易所金融产品负责人郝阳将memecoin最近的成功归因于年轻一代的幻灭感，类似于朋克摇滚音乐的兴起。

"Memecoins, like punk rock, represent a symptom of disillusioned young investors who feel that the opportunities that were available to their parents are no longer within their reach," Yang told Cointelegraph.

“Memecoin，就像朋克摇滚一样，代表了幻想破灭的年轻投资者的症状，他们认为父母提供的机会不再是他们所能获得的，”Yang 告诉 Cointelegraph。

Additionally, Yang believes that memecoins highlight the absurdity of the current financial system:

此外，杨认为模因币凸显了当前金融体系的荒谬性：

"By creating tokens out of thin air and inflating them to billion-dollar valuations, these creators are demonstrating the absurdity of our fiat system."

“通过凭空创造代币并将其估值推高至数十亿美元，这些创造者正在证明我们的法定系统是荒谬的。”

GameStop's Influence on Memecoins

GameStop 对 Memecoin 的影响

Pepe's recent rally may be linked to the renewed interest in GameStop stock (GME). On May 13th, GME shares began rising following the unexpected return to social media of Keith Gill, known for sparking the 2021 GameStop short squeeze.

佩佩最近的上涨可能与人们对 GameStop 股票（GME）重新产生兴趣有关。 5 月 13 日，因引发 2021 年 GameStop 逼空而闻名的基思·吉尔 (Keith Gill) 意外重返社交媒体后，GME 股价开始上涨。

Pepe reached a new all-time high of over $0.000010 on May 13th, the day after Gill's return. GameStop shares surged by over 111% in the 24 hours following his reappearance.

5 月 13 日，即吉尔回归后的第二天，佩佩创下了超过 0.000010 美元的历史新高。在他重新出现后的 24 小时内，GameStop 的股价飙升了 111% 以上。

Xiaohan Zhu, CEO of Meter, believes that the GameStop rally is the primary driver behind Pepe's price increase:

Meter首席执行官朱晓涵认为，GameStop的涨势是Pepe涨价的主要推动力：

"The GME saga may have contributed to PEPE's momentum. However, I attribute the recent market decline in crypto primarily to profit-taking and the listing of several large-scale projects on exchanges, absorbing much of the market's liquidity."

“GME 的传奇故事可能为 PEPE 的势头做出了贡献。然而，我将近期加密货币市场的下跌主要归因于获利回吐以及多个大型项目在交易所上市，吸收了市场的大部分流动性。”

Memecoin Run on the Horizon?

Memecoin 即将出现？

While predicting a full-blown memecoin rally is challenging, some traders speculate that profits from GameStop could flow into altcoins, as seen during the 2021 bull run. Crypto analyst CryptoAmsterdam's May 14th report suggests that the 2021 altcoin surge began shortly after the GameStop rally.

虽然预测 memecoin 全面反弹具有挑战性，但一些交易员推测 GameStop 的利润可能会流入山寨币，正如 2021 年牛市期间所见。加密货币分析师 CryptoAmsterdam 5 月 14 日的报告表明，2021 年山寨币的飙升是在 GameStop 反弹后不久开始的。

Pepe's Unique Appeal

佩佩的独特魅力

Not all memecoins will benefit from the GameStop saga, but Pepe appears well-positioned for further gains due to its relatable narrative for retail investors, according to Aleksandra Artamonovskaja, Head of Art at TriliTech, Tezos:

Tezos TriliTech 艺术主管 Aleksandra Artamonovskaja 表示，并非所有 memecoin 都会从 GameStop 传奇中受益，但由于其与散户投资者相关的叙述，Pepe 似乎处于进一步上涨的有利位置：

"Beyond being a well-known internet meme, Pepe represents a culture of its own and symbolizes resistance against the establishment, freedom, and hope - a narrative that resonates with the GameStop saga."

“佩佩不仅是一个众所周知的互联网迷因，还代表了一种自己的文化，象征着对体制、自由和希望的抵抗——这一叙事与 GameStop 的传奇故事产生了共鸣。”
