Unf#@%ing Meme Cult
101 Cult Science
New, weird , misunderstood and difficult to value, are they really?

Murad Mahmudov - Token 2049: “the memecoin cycle has already begun”.
‡ The market has changed, and you need to adapt ‡
You can't find promising tokens
from the same state of mind that missed them.
People are getting riskier and more desperate for high-gain, high-risk promising opportunities:
Low quality information overload.
99% of people are losing money in crypto.
FOMO = impulsive decisions.
Market manipulation is real.
We loose trust, scams are plague of the crypto space.
We need to do what 99% of people aren't doing:
Analyze over 370,000 X daily posts.
Study 14,570 smart X user profiles and influencers.
Examine 13,200 CMC token X profiles.
Monitor over 12,600 tokens and metrics.
Track over 2,000 daily smart money transactions.

Meme coins science: Metrics, Average, Median, Variances, Correlation, and Standard Deviations.
Does that turn you on?

Success starts where easy ends.
Stop Following, Start Leading

They always say DYOR but never how…
You need to get in contact with the data reality of Meme and over 12,000 CMC listed tokens fast!
You need to know what to do and how to do it.

Use logic for emotions
Can you have logical metrics for:
"New, weird, misunderstood and difficult to value"?
Yes!
"Human condition, retail motivations, asset distribution, good story, emotions"? Yes!
"Tokens that make middle class and poor people rich became a cult"?
Yes!
"Community Participation, Who is talking about this on Social Media"?
Yes!
How long a cult has been built for?
Yes!
Tokens/narratives overperforming in the first stage of the bull and outperforming in later stage?
Yes!
And last but not least important:
Can you have a logical metric for Price to cult ratio?
Fuck, yeah!
Remember, information overload is real, you need to extract what matters.
Stop Trading, Start Thinking

If I still have your attention, you're leaving 99% of the dump market in the rearview mirror.
To not overwhelm you at first,
we will look into the first 5% of your crypto intelligence edge.

Get ready to dive into the thrilling data world of meme tokens!
Imagine discovering those hidden gems with market caps between 20 and 200 million!
Here's how you can make it happen:
Cult Participation

Imagine you're at a party, and suddenly everyone wants to talk to you. Here's how it might play out:
Normal scenario (baseline metrics):
⁞ You chat with 5 people an hour
⁞ ⁞ 2 people ask for your number
⁞ ⁞ ⁞ 10 people glance your way
A highly influential person at the party compliments you loudly
(viral meme coin mention by a major influencer):‖ Now 50 people an hour want to chat (increased engagement)
‖ 20 people ask for your number (more followers)
‖ ‖ 100 people keep looking your way (increased views)
‖ ‖ ‖ People you've never met know your name (wider reach)
‖ ‖ ‖ ‖ Your friends' friends want to meet you (network effect)

How would you describe that something has changed?
You'd probably say:
More people are paying attention to you (increased views)
You're having more conversations (more replies)
More people want to stay in touch (new followers)
Your social circle is expanding rapidly (viral growth)
In the world of X metrics, this translates to:
Increased timeline views
More likes and replies
Growing follower count
Wider reach beyond your immediate network
This is exactly what we are looking at in our data:

Emerging, unusual, hard to value meme coins with great story and emotional sentiment
Shilling narrative leaders and their effect on token mindshare social metrics
Enriching people mass involvement devoted token cult
Token Distribution

Principal 1 - Smart Money Allocation

Imagine there's a VIP section at this party.
The people in this section seem to know something others don't:
The VIP crowd (smart money):
‖ They start gravitating towards you before the influential person's compliment.
‖‖ They're whispering and nodding in your direction.
‖‖‖ Some are already asking for your number discreetly.
‖‖‖‖ They seem to know you're about to become the life of the party.
In the crypto world, this translates to:
Smart money wallets accumulating the token before major announcements.
⁞ Unusual trading activity in specific wallets.
⁞⁞ Increase in large transactions before public hype.
⁞⁞⁞ Early movement in liquidity pools.
Just like the VIP crowd sensed your potential before everyone else, smart money often moves before the general public catches on.
They have the "insider knowledge" – whether it's connections, experience, or advanced analysis – that helps them spot potential winners early.
We can easily learn this from the Nansen Smart Money Data:
Principal 2 - FPH & FPT Supply in true believers' wallets
Imagine the party has a special drink system. The more drinks you have, the more invested you are in the party's success.
FPH (Fully Devoted Party-drinks per Holder):
If the party has 1000 total drinks (FDV) and 100 attendees (holders), each person would average 10 drinks (FPH).
If more people join, but the average stays at 10, it means the drinks are being distributed evenly as the party grows.
If the average drops to 5, it could mean more people are joining and getting fewer drinks each, showing wider participation.
In crypto terms:
A stable or decreasing FPH with increasing holders and FDV suggests the token is attracting more diverse participants rather than being concentrated in a few hands.

FPT (Fully Devoted Party-drinks per Transaction):
Let's say people can trade drinks for different flavors or sizes. Each trade is a transaction.
If there are 1000 total drinks and 200 trades, each trade involves an average of 5 drinks.
If later there are 400 trades, but the average drops to 2.5 drinks per trade, it means more people are trading, but for smaller amounts each time.
Some party-goers hold onto their original drinks, rarely trading them.
These are like long-term token holders who believe in the future value of their drinks (tokens).
In crypto terms:
A decreasing FPT could indicate more transactions are happening per unit of FDV, suggesting broader adoption and usage of the token.
More participants making smaller transactions could signify increased participation and everyday cult of the crypto asset, rather than just large trades by a few big players.

Principal 3 - Top Holders & Liquidty Supply in true believers' wallets
Imagine our party has VIP guests (top holders), a drink fountain (liquidity), and bartenders (liquidity providers).
VIP Guests (Top holders balance):
• These are the popular kids who always have plenty of drinks.
• Best scenario: They're holding onto their drinks or even getting more.
• What it means: They believe the party's getting better, not worse.
In crypto: Top holders maintaining or increasing their balance suggests they're not selling off, which is a good sign.
Drink Fountain (Liquidity):
• This is where everyone can easily swap their drinks.
• Best scenario: The fountain is full, but some drinks are slowly being taken out.
• What it means: People can still trade easily, but some are starting to keep their drinks.
In crypto: already High, but steady, or slightly decreasing liquidity means easy trading, with some tokens being held long-term.
Bartenders (Liquidity Providers):
• They keep the drink fountain running smoothly.
• Best scenario: More bartenders are showing up to help.
• What it means: People believe the party will last and want to support it.
In crypto: Increasing liquidity providers suggests growing confidence in the token's future.
Summary:
VIPs holding their drinks = Top holders not selling
Full but slightly draining fountain = High, stable liquidity with some long-term holding
More bartenders = More liquidity providers supporting the token

Price Action

Principal 1 - Cult vs BTC
Picture the hottest, most exclusive nightclub in town. The music is pulsing, lights are flashing, and everyone's feeling the vibe. This is our crypto party!
Suddenly, the DJ announces a 2.17% drop in the party's energy (BTC price drop). Everyone feels it, but how they react? That's where it gets interesting!
Battle-tested survivors (Strength Ratio):
As the party vibe dips:
Some people start inching towards the exit, their dance moves getting sloppy (high strength ratio number, big price drop)
Others barely miss a beat, still grooving like nothing's changed (low strength ratio number, small or no price drop)
Our battle tested ratio is like a "cool factor" meter:
0.00 = Absolute party animal, unfazed by the energy dip
Higher numbers = More affected by the vibe change, closer to leaving
Ratio Meaning:
Battle-tested large price BTC drops survivors
People Not Selling
The ultimate challenge for any altcoin is the decline of BTC price!

Battle-tested large price drops survivors
Proven bull run outperformers
Cults don't sell when token 10x
Welcome to the Crypto Nightclub, where only the coolest tokens get to party! Here's how we decide who gets past the velvet rope:
The "10x Glow-Up" Check (token 10x metric): Our bouncer, Big Mike, only lets in folks who've had a serious glow-up. If you haven't become at least 10 times hotter since your awkward phase, you're not on the list! He's checking your before and after pics, and that "after" better be at least 10 times more dazzling!
The "Still Hot" Test (cult hold ratio): DJ HODL is watching for people who've maintained their hotness. If you're still at least 80% as smoking as your peak, you're in! He's not interested in one-hit wonders who peaked at prom and never recovered. Show him you've still got that fire!
The "Bounce Back" Challenge (token recovery metric): Breakup Recovery Coach Resilient Rita gives a thumbs up to those who've bounced back at least 70% from their lowest point. No sad sacks allowed! She wants to see that you've picked yourself up after falling face-first on the dance floor. The higher you've bounced back, the more impressed she is!
The "Veteran Partier" Vibe (battle tested metric): Club owner Old School Otto nods approvingly at those who've been rocking the scene for a while. If you've been partying longer than you were a wallflower, welcome aboard! He's looking for those who've survived multiple music trends and still know how to groove.
The "Overall Cool Factor" Rating (price to cult ratio): Finally, the mysterious VIP host, Crypto Cult, gives an overall coolness score. This combines how well you've recovered from your awkward phase and how well you've kept your cool. Beat the average coolness in the club, and you're definitely in! The higher above average you are, the more VIP treatment you get.
And here they are, our meme coin party metrics:

Remember, at Club Crypto, it's not just about looking good for a night - it's about being a consistent, resilient, long-term party animal.
Oh, and don't forget about our special "Time Since Peak" counter (cult hold time). It's like a timer showing how long it's been since you were voted "Most Likely to Succeed" in high school.
The lower the number, the more current your coolness is!
