Meme Insider
Ever feel like the crypto market's playing a game of hot potato, where the hottest new tokens get all the hype but the old guards are left gathering dust? In a recent clip from the electrifying Gwarty x Robert Chang stream hosted by @notthreadguy on CounterParty TV, Robert Chang – the CT legend himself – lays it out plain and simple: for retail folks to start aping in again, those classic "boomer coins" gotta pump first.
Picture this: you're scrolling your feed, seeing wild gains on some obscure DeFi protocol or a fresh meme token that's mooning overnight. Exciting, right? But Chang argues that's not enough to pull in the masses – especially the boomers (think your uncle who bought Bitcoin at $100 and hasn't touched it since). "Coins like Litecoin, AVAX, these are what brings back boomer attention," he says in the clip. "There’s a lot of people that got into Crypto and got stuck in these coins."
He's spot on. These aren't the flashy newcomers; they're the recognizable names that scream "crypto" to anyone who's dipped a toe in before 2021. Litecoin (LTC), the silver to Bitcoin's gold, has been around since 2011, quietly chugging along with its faster blocks and lower fees. AVAX, Avalanche's native token, powers a high-speed network that's all about scalability – perfect for those early adopters who remember the Ethereum gas wars. And let's not forget DOGE, the OG meme coin that's equal parts joke and juggernaut, thanks to Elon Musk's endless tweets.
But here's the kicker: Chang points out that even if something like Hyperliquid (a slick perpetuals exchange token) rockets to $1,000, most retail investors won't bat an eye. "People aren’t going to see that," he explains. "They need to see AVAX, DOGE, LTC – those are the coins they recognize." It's like the market's gateway drug. Once grandma sees her dusty LTC bag double, she's more likely to FOMO into that wild cat-themed meme token you've been shilling.
This perspective hits home for us at Meme Insider, where we live and breathe the chaotic world of meme tokens. DOGE isn't just a boomer coin; it's the bridge between normie finance and full-on degen vibes. When it pumps, it validates the whole ecosystem, reminding everyone that crypto isn't some abstract tech – it's fun, it's accessible, and yeah, it can make you rich. We've seen it before: Dogecoin's 2021 surge dragged retail back in droves, fueling runs on everything from SHIB to FLOKI.
So, what's the play here? If you're a blockchain practitioner stacking sats or hunting the next 100x gem, keep an eye on these boomer signals. A LTC breakout above $100? AVAX cracking $50? DOGE flirting with $0.50? That's your cue – retail's waking up, and the meme coin party is about to get crowded. Chang's not just theorizing; he's channeling years of market scars into actionable insight.
What do you think – are boomer pumps the spark we need, or is Gen Z ready to skip straight to the memes? Drop your takes in the comments, and follow @chang_defi and @GwartyGwart for more unfiltered crypto convos. Stay aped, friends.
