Pudgy Penguins is likely the breakout meme of this cycle and the biggest sleeper on the meme side, because the Pengu brand does $10-20+ million of ARR and is growing. Trench traders are underallocated because they don't understand how to hold the best coins long term. Conviction in founder Luca Netz is unchanged since the early NFT and Igloo days: no second best, and a hold for life. x.com 

Dogecoin should soon follow the rest of the meme market higher, even though, as @ous321 notes, it missed most of this meme season. It is not a launchpad for meme tokens that pump to earn fees, but it will still catch up. x.com 

Dogecoin is unlikely to draw much new demand. Altcoin inflows are no longer what they were: there are many options, money is limited, and capital already in the market moves to projects catching new hype. Replying to @bogadonemiborsa's case for $1 DOGE through payment adoption on X and Tesla, $1 is not impossible, but strong demand looks unlikely. x.com 

Dogecoin and dogwifhat fit the pro-US-regulation rulebook that will decide which memes survive next cycle: Dogecoin as a digital commodity with its own L1, dogwifhat as a digital collectible. Memes outside the rulebook have nothing ahead of them. After the CLARITY Act, rules should only tighten, never loosen, so fitting the current rulebook is the safer bet, and that fit is a moat that can't be faked or bought. x.com  x.com  x.com 

Dogecoin's years-long consolidation sets up generational returns, since the larger the consolidation, the larger the expansion. Its last generational run followed a long accumulation phase, and as a blue-chip memecoin it has survived nearly every crypto cycle. x.com 

Downtrodden previous-generation large-cap memecoins such as PEPE and WIF offer a great risk-reward trade and should go higher than many expect. They are known-quantity memes with reliable flows through a multi-month bear market, letting buyers bid with decent size and liquidity. PEPE rose 80% when bitcoin jumped in August, has a real path to new highs, and WIF could top a $1B valuation and potentially go much higher. x.com  x.com 

Dogecoin has been called dead since 2014, yet ten years on it is still the number one meme coin and keeps running regardless of the doubters. x.com 

Pudgy Penguins' token could become this cycle's version of DOGE or SHIB, and its chart suggests it bottomed in July. It held up better against bitcoin then, reaccumulated in a range, flipped its 21 EMA from resistance into support and printed its first higher high and higher low. With the trend neutral to bullish, the first swing target is filling the gap created after October 10, then the all-time high zone of 0.070-0.10, with a macro target of 0.30-0.40+ over the coming years. x.com 

Chainlink's token overhang keeps Dogecoin the preferred pick over it. 252 million LINK is still outside circulation, and 70 million of it came out in the last twelve months. That overhang stands even as @thefetztizzle points to Swift ramping up, DTCC's app chain going live in November and Chainlink having no competitors. x.com 

Last cycle's memecoin winners such as dogwifhat and Mog may barely move this memecoin season, because returning risk appetite is jumping from one fresh launch to the next rather than into memes as a category. A few runners don't put old memes next in line; that queue doesn't exist. Per @DefiIgnas, WIF, POPCAT, MOG and FARTCOIN are down 50% this year with no bounce as promoters moved on. Finding a coin once it is all over the feed means being the exit, not early. x.com
