_I mean this in the best way, for you or other lurkers with similar questions, and it is NOT meant, at all, to be passive aggressive. You make your own choices. But, please, make informed ones..._
About this:
> _Like i look at narratives i have faith, hold, then bottom and its just i don;t know if im doing it right lol._
A collegial tip:
* Once you identify something as marketing, ignore it.
* Those statements about faith, hold, then bottom? They're marketing.
You are 100% in this alone. You have no friends. There are only common interests. The people saying those narratives often have an interest in "not feeling like an idiot unto themselves". Those people _want_ you to stay in it because _you're_ their exit liquidity.
Keep your own counsel. Learn to identify, and then immediately ignore, marketing. It'll keep you safe and make you a better trader.
(And you'll find "buy-and-hold" for quality assets nearly always beats chasing the dragon.)

Good to remember:
Many people, in life and in trading, have "success" yet conflate "success due to luck" vs. "success by design".
So much of what you're likely seeing about "meme coin success!" are old tropes or stories from 2021 and the first DOGE craze. Lots of us here lived through that. Some people made a ton of money. Others lost their shirts. Everything in between.
But you really can't compare strategies from 2021 with strategies in 2026. The entire market is different. The signals are different. And most importantly, the _liquidity is completely different_.
I would never touch meme coins in 2026. You're just straight up gambling without realizing it. The times you think you "were smart" and got a profitable trade...you probably were just lucky and are mistaking it for your trading acumen.
In 2026, the memecoin scene are either:
(a) insiders (looking for exit liquidity)
(b) suckers (providing the exit liquidity to the insiders)
Unfortunately, you are almost certainly are part of "b", otherwise you wouldn't be making this post.
And you don't want to become part of "a". You really, really don't.
A better use of your time would be studying traditional finance so you have the language and analytical tools to compare crypto investments against other yardsticks. Because if you can't talk about "What purchasing power relative to inflation is? Or talk about the 10 year T-bill rates?", then you really aren't an informed investor...you're the worst sort of gambler: You're the one who doesn't yet know they're gambling, even though everyone else can see it.

> how you guys scout which memecoins to put money in,
Easy. My analysis is `IF memecoin, THEN ignore.` It really is that simple.
The _only_ way memecoin trading "works" is if you are there on day-1, get in, and get out during the initial pump, and can be satisfied with a 10%-25% gain in a few minutes/hours.
By any reasonable standard, that's an exceptional ROI. Once you wait for more, and once you "get greedy" trying for me, nope...you're now exit liquidity for someone else and are just gambling even more there is a greater fool.
(If you don't know the "greater fool theory", look it up.
> whether its worth looking at these big traders and following their trades,
No. DYOR applies. DYOR = Do your own research.
You can follow those big traders, but DYOR on whether or not you agree with them. Memecoins are universally a trap.
> how you guys deal with fomo and the fact that once a coin has past a certain point theres no point in getting in and trying to profit,
You ignore FOMO. The saying goes "No one ever went broke from the trade they didn't make."
If a project gets "too hot", and you've missed your entry point, move on. Don't chase the dragon. Simply ignore it.
(And, hint: A lot of the price action you see with memecoins is manipulated _specifically_ to make you feel FOMO and make a dumb mistake.)
Best possible thing you can do is if you feel FOMO, that's your sign to step away. Trading should be dispassionate and boring, not exciting. If you're getting dopamine from it, you're doing it wrong.
> how long it took to actually get started (im a week in and i feel hopeless)..
Get started? About 2w-4w.
To dig myself out of the negative hole I got myself into? Another 1y-3y.
HINT: Don't be like me. Stop what you're trying to do, and start studying fundamentals.
> how you decide which narratives are worth investing in, etc.
Never invest is anything you do not understand. It's true for all investing. If you don't understand it, you can't do anything more than gamble. Take the time to understand a project, and that project's market segment/industry, and _then_ you can evaluate if it may (or may not) be a good investment.
(Basically, become analyst for your own portfolio.)
> Just some basic advice/personal stories on trading so i don't feel like its over and stress out about being behind..
No. You absolutely _should_ stress out about being behind. That's the other half of your brain trying to protect you from yourself.
You've "bought yourself an education" this last week for `$XXXX.XX`. What have you learned? What has that education given you?
You've _paid for the stress_. Don't let it go to waste just because you don't like what it's saying.
Take a beat, slow down, and accept that the stress is part of the gig. There is no easy money, despite what folks tell you. If you're losing out, it means you're the exit liquidity for someone else, and you're either a sucker, a patsy, or both.
