If you've been hanging around the crypto Twitter sphere lately, you've probably noticed the winds shifting. Solana, once the undisputed king of meme token mania, is feeling the heat from Binance Smart Chain (BSC) as BNB hits all-time highs and talk of a "CZ season" buzzes everywhere. Enter @valueandtime, the shitpost maestro with over 91k followers, dropping a gem that perfectly encapsulates the current vibe in the Solana ecosystem.

In his recent tweet from October 7, 2025, simply titled "State of Solana," Value & Time shares a screenshot of a text message that reads: "begging alon to cook a runner." It's reacted to with a crying laughing emoji, and honestly, if you're deep in meme tokens, this hits home.

For the uninitiated, "cooking" in crypto slang means launching or pumping a token to make it go viral and skyrocket in value. A "runner" is that elusive meme coin that takes off, turning early holders into overnight millionaires—or at least that's the dream. And "alon"? It could be a typo or insider nod, perhaps referring to Ansem (@blknoiz06), a prominent Solana influencer who's been vocal about the chain's dominance. Just earlier that day, Ansem tweeted about Solana leading crypto trends for three years and expressed skepticism about the fleeting "CZ szn" (CZ being Changpeng Zhao, Binance's founder).

Value & Time's reply to Ansem's post? "Lets fuck asian baddies." Classic irreverent humor, tying into the Asian-themed excitement around Binance's surge. But the "State of Solana" post drives it further, highlighting how the community is practically pleading for someone to spark the next big thing on Solana.

This comes amid a broader narrative where BSC is gaining traction for meme tokens. Value & Time pokes fun at it in another post: "Guy with $100 in BSC wants you to know it's the Binance Super Cycle." It's a reminder that while Solana has been the go-to for high-speed, low-cost meme launches, the spotlight might be shifting—at least temporarily.

But why does this matter for meme token enthusiasts? Solana's ecosystem has birthed legends like BONK, WIF, and POPCAT, leveraging its blazing-fast transactions and vibrant community. If the sentiment is indeed "begging" for runners, it could signal a lull, prompting creators to step up or traders to diversify into chains like BSC.

Value & Time's bio says it all: "Taking you to the moon one shitpost at a time." Posts like this not only entertain but also serve as a barometer for market moods. If you're building or trading meme tokens, keep an eye on influencers like this—they often spot trends before they explode.

In another spot-on observation, Value & Time shared a "live look at every groupchat in crypto right now," featuring an image of excited folks at a casino table—hinting at the gambling frenzy around these shifts.

The hand "cut off" in the image even sparked a mini-thread, with one user asking why, and Value & Time quipping "China bro"—a cheeky nod to the Asian influence in the current pump.

As we navigate these volatile waters, remember: meme tokens are as much about community and narrative as they are about tech. Stay tuned to Meme Insider for more breakdowns on the latest in the wild world of crypto memes.
