While the AI and life science meme wave continues, TikTok once again brings memes to new traffic heights.
TikTok meme coin CHILL GUY has been rising since the 19th, with a 24-hour trading volume of over $300 million and a market value of $500 million, attracting the market's attention to TikTok meme. At the same time, many popular TikTok meme coins were created, and the market FOMO sentiment continued to increase. But what are the real TikTok meme coins? As Buffett said, only after the tide has passed, you can tell who is swimming naked.
Odaily Planet Daily also experienced the TikTok meme wave in depth at the first opportunity and compiled a report on its journey, introducing two TikTok meme projects with certain explosive potential.
meme experience: After watching videos all night, my account lost 50%
Last night, I was looking for the code to wealth in various meme groups and found that the meme on TikTok began to spread in the cryptocurrency circle.
Since I didn’t catch up with the AI and life science memes, I rushed in with a few SOLs. I would like to thank the super hot sister from HTX for introducing me to the current TikTok meme situation.
Through understanding, the most popular one is CHILL GUY (also known as Long Yi), which took only 4 days to rise to a market value of 500 million US dollars, and the 24-hour trading volume exceeded 550 million US dollars. There are related recommendations as soon as you open the TikTok App. Later, related popular memes such as WAIT, HUZZ and GRIDDY have also begun to emerge.
As a meme novice who adheres to the theory of value investment, I first downloaded TikTok, and then started "watching videos" under major related hot topics, trying to find the true meaning of TikTok meme.
First, choose the most popular CHILL GUY to start researching. What comes into view is a cartoon character similar to a guinea pig, with his hands in his pockets and an indifferent look, telling how to look at various things calmly. I have to say that this image, coupled with the more magical background music, makes people "fall" quickly. I immediately opened GMGN and started to study the market. At that time, the market value was breaking through 500 million US dollars, and the price was also rising. I was afraid that "the car would not wait for me", so I immediately bought some tokens with SOL.
Later, I started to study related popular memes such as WAIT, HUZZ and GRIDDY. WAIT comes from a magical dance, similar to the domestic TikTok, and users are imitating and filming; HUZZ is like a newly developed slang, and many people ask what it means in the comment area or video. Personally, I think it roughly represents the buzzing sound, and the rest of the memes are similar.
The author browsed around and thought he had a strong understanding of TikTok meme. The following is a paragraph written after researching last night, which also combines the remarks made by the Placeholder partner yesterday afternoon.
Meme has a characteristic, that is, it needs to be recognized by a certain group of people in order to form a meme culture. Previously, most meme coins in the crypto world needed to be gradually cultivated after the coins were issued, and even required investors to brainwash themselves to recognize the culture of the meme coin. However, the pre-certified meme culture in TikTok itself has a huge group supporting it. As Placeholder partner Chris Burniske said, "When Meme coins are combined with the viral spread of TikTok, it will reach its peak." This combination itself is the large-scale adoption that Web3 has always pursued, but this time it is the active integration of Web2, and the significance behind it is extraordinary.
What’s interesting is that this morning I found that my meme account had lost 50%. Among the several memes I studied yesterday, only two are still alive. One is CHILL GUY, which lost 50%, and the other is WAIT. Others like HUZZ and GRIDDY are about to return to zero or run away.
I am very glad that I did not choose HUZZ and GRIDDY with small market value, otherwise today's article would be full of "rebellion". I summarized and reflected on some mistakes I made in the operation, and wrote them down for your reference and warning.
When you are influenced by the cultural attributes of memes, you should be more rational when buying tokens to analyze whether it is at the right point, and don’t be FOMO. Just like what I did yesterday, I was afraid that "the car would not wait for me" and ignored the current market sentiment, resulting in a loss of 50% and chasing a high point.
Most meme coins are rare and can be verified by the market for a long time. How to choose the golden dog among many memes requires consideration of first-mover and market communication. Although CHILL GUY made me lose 50%, I still think it is valuable, first-mover, high market value, and verified by the market. HUZZ and GRIDDY were created more after CHILL GUY became popular. They may have profits, but the PVP attribute is too heavy and not suitable for meme novices.
Skilled in using tools, such as checking the on-chain holdings, etc. I am not an expert in this area and am still learning. But my colleagues are good at this, such as Nanzhi's copy trading style, Golem's rush opening method, and Asher's investment theory. For detailed plans, you can see the full record of meme operations updated weekly by Odaily.
As of now, I am still optimistic about CHILL GUY and will increase my position at the appropriate time. It is worth noting that Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has just released a picture on X with the meme concept CHILLGUY as the theme, and CHILLGUY has returned to a market value of 500 million US dollars. But one thing I need to remind everyone is that there is no official Twitter account or obvious organization for this coin. The advantage is that it is a meme, but it may also be a wave, which is quite different from the previous AI and life science memes.
Currently, there are two ways to find TikTok memes: one is to watch popular videos on TikTok, then find keywords and check on the chain to see if there are tokens with the same name, but be aware of the risks and choose tokens with a high number of holding addresses and strong liquidity; the second is to rely on social media and meme groups to understand which meme most players are currently optimistic about. This method may lead to higher prices, but it has a higher degree of certainty.
In short, TikTok meme is a new form. With TikTok as the first frontier, it can attract a lot of fresh traffic from Web2 to Web3, which is different from the previous way of birth of meme coins. But there are also many projects that take advantage of the hot spots. After one night, many CHILL-related tokens began to emerge. Since TikTok meme has not been around for a long time, the author's experience last night can also reflect that the lifespan of most tokens is very short. I hope everyone will choose carefully.
CHILL GUY
CHILL GUY is the iconic meme coin of TikTok meme. CHILL GUY originated from a video released by blogger helicoptero_eli on September 13. The cartoon characters in the video showed relatively calm emotions and were indifferent to most things. With the background music of brainwashing, it became popular in TikTok. However, according to the release time of other derivative videos, from September 13 to early November, it was not promoted on a large scale until recent days. The total number of related videos on the entire network is 24,000, and the overall playback volume exceeds 20 million.
Just like the name CHILL GUY, its characteristics are calmness, emotional stability and a calm attitude towards life. Words may not be able to describe it very accurately, please watch the video.

WAIT
WAIT originated from a magical dance in TikTok, which attracted users from all over the world to imitate it. It is more popular than CHILL GUY, with a total of 1.5 million videos on the entire network and over 100 million views. But WAIT should be inspired by CHILL GUY and created on Solana.
Personally, I feel that WAIT does not have such a wide cultural influence, and compared to CHILL GUY, it lacks some content foundation.
According to GMGN data, WAIT is 0.02 USDT, with a 24-hour increase of 89%, a market value of 20 million US dollars, and a 24-hour trading volume of 136 million US dollars.
