For me, it was actually this year. I actually looked for a $pepe coin around January, because of my love for Pepe Lore memes and couldn’t find anything. Now I missed out on a meme coin of a lifetime.
Based on my experience, I've missed also a lot of greater opportunities but then let so be it. I've got still my stash on the brighter side and it's more with Bitcoin and I know that it's on the right path. Forget about these meme coins and you're trying to find a gem in the market. You don't have to be that far just for you to get into this emotion of being FOMO. It might even give you more losses if you start to FOMO for an actual project that you think you're about to miss.
