In the fast-paced, often chaotic universe of meme coins, where fortunes can flip faster than a Solana transaction, taking a step back is crucial. That's where the concept of "touching grass" comes in—a popular internet slang for getting offline, reconnecting with the real world, and recharging your mental batteries. But as seasoned crypto commentator Bunjil points out in a recent X thread, the advice to simply "touch grass" might be a bit too vague for everyone.
Bunjil's Mountain Retreat Philosophy
Bunjil, a BitMEX OG who's been in the crypto game since 2009 and survived the COVID market crash, shared his thoughts: "touching grass is way too general some people need beaches, some people need mountains i am a mountain person once i fuck off to the mountains i find peace." It's a refreshingly honest take from someone deep in the trenches of crypto trading. For those unfamiliar, Bunjil is no stranger to the meme coin scene. He's been quoted widely for his insights, like when he said Pump.fun—a popular Solana-based tool for launching meme coins—didn't ruin the space but simply showed how easy it is to create them as noted here.
The thread sparked a few lighthearted replies, from someone declaring themselves a "lil' beach" to requests for mountain pics. Bunjil obliged with a stunning photo that perfectly captures his vibe.
Look at that view—jagged peaks bathed in golden light, lush green fields, and a sense of serenity that's worlds away from monitoring meme coin pumps on Pump.fun. It's easy to see why Bunjil prefers this over sandy shores.
Why This Matters for Meme Token Enthusiasts
In the meme coin world, where 98.6% of tokens on platforms like Pump.fun fail to even launch according to Cointelegraph, the pressure is intense. Traders and creators are glued to screens, chasing the next big hit like FARTCOIN or whatever absurd name pops up next. Bunjil's message is a timely reminder: burnout is real, and finding your personal "mountain" (or beach) can make all the difference.
Whether you're a blockchain practitioner building the next viral token or just dipping your toes into Solana's meme ecosystem, incorporating breaks tailored to your preferences can boost your productivity and perspective. As Bunjil implies, generic advice doesn't cut it—know thyself, and seek out what truly restores you.
If you're feeling the meme coin madness, maybe it's time to plan your own escape. Who knows? A hike in the hills might just inspire your next big idea in the ever-evolving world of crypto memes.
