Meta

The dominant narrative theme across the market at a given moment. Where a narrative belongs to one coin, the meta is the category the market is currently rewarding. A coin with a strong narrative inside a dead meta still fails; a mid-tier narrative inside a hot meta can run.

Culture Narrative The story or thesis behind a single memecoin — the cultural reference, the joke, the news event, or the inside reference that explains why anyone should care. A memecoin's only product. A strong narrative survives drawdowns; a thin narrative dies on the first red candle. → Psychology Recency Bias Overweighting recent events when forming judgments. In memecoins: treating the last three trades as definitive evidence of skill or its loss. Produces the hot-hand fallacy (size up after wins) and the cold-hand fallacy (stop trading after losses), both of which are expensive errors. → Psychology Cold-Hand Fallacy The mirror error to the hot-hand fallacy: believing a losing streak signals lost skill rather than variance. Causes traders to stop trading entirely after consecutive losses, often missing the rotation into a new meta. →
