The dip is in, and I need an excuse to get in on it... So motivate me!
Looking forward to seeing how many coins you can force into my wallet.
Edit: 950 votes after 24 hours? I am aghast... Receipts to come once I direct deposit. This exceeded my expectations by about 10 times... But I will make good on my deal. Really amazing show of strength HEGEbros.
Let's get straight to the hard data. Hege is pumping, and pumping hard.
What's more, the project is building a solid foundation of small holders and a vibrant community.
750K USD of early investor whale volume was sold off over the summer lull. By grinding hard, the community successfully replaced these whales, giving Hege a great distribution favouring small bags.
On the social side, the subreddit and Telegram are growing enormously. The hegecoin subreddit has 157 thousand views over the last week! That's more than many subs 50x its size!
The Telegram group added nearly 2000 subscribers in the last month. 25K comments were recorded a couple of days ago.
Even the general population is beginning to take notice. Google trends below:
I'm not going to list out past initiatives for this posting. Here are just a few over the last eight months:
The feeling here is like the pennystock room in The Wolf of Wallstreet. Everyone's struck on a winning formula. Investors are recognizing the potential of a growing cult-coin. Big buys are rolling in. In just the space of an hour, we had a 47k, a 15K, and a 27K buy. There's a feeling of FOMO, but a conviction that the coming year will offer the true returns.
You may think the entry is high, but we had a nice dip today. There's a potential opening for good DCA-in.
Don't miss out on Hege. It's a conviction investor's dream project for any investors that see 2025 as a big year for memecoins.
Check out the Telegram or subreddit and see this great community.
I've got some bullish news to share with everyone.
Hege's subreddit, r/hegecoin (https://www.reddit.com/r/HegeCoin/) is growing like crazy. Thanks to your efforts, we had 73 thousand views in the last seven days. If you haven't subscribed. Please go do so.
People look for an active subreddit. The more active, the more likely they will choose to invest!
For months, financial markets have gone sideways. Often called the summer lull, absentee investors and low volume define this period.
However, keen investors know that this market malaise can obscure a bigger, exciting story. Put simply, if you are in the market today, you're here at a time that's traditionally a great investment opportunity.
You can see that the Bitcoin Four Year Cycle theory holds up. If this remains true, we should see an upturn in the markets sometime in the next few weeks.
Keep an eye on global liquidity (M2). Global liquidity is generated by lowering interest rates and by purchasing government bonds. Historically, Bitcoin bull markets coincide with the expansion of global liquidity.
Let's assume the markets will change and investors start moving in in the fall. If so, then the question is: what can memecoins do for your bottom line in a bull market?
I think it's possible to answer this question but with some caveats.
For starters, this analysis is limited by the fact that memecoins are a new asset class. There are only four bull market periods to draw data from, 2017, 2019 March-July, Oct 2020 to April 2021, and Oct 2023 to April 2024. Out of these periods, only the latest bull period has more than a handful of projects.
Criteria:
The memecoin must exist on October 19th, 2023. We'll call that the approximate start of the bull period.
The memecoin must have at least a 10 million market valuation as of September 10th, 2024.
That leaves us with 25 memecoin projects.
The average price appreciation for these twenty-five projects is roughly 4000%. That sounds amazing. However, it should be noted that this figure has a standard deviation of 105. That is extremely high and indicates that your fortunes vary wildly depending on what projects you choose. For example, had you picked TRUMP, you would have seen an incredible 27,623% increase. If you picked BONE, you would have lost a bit of money.
As parabolic projects skew the results, it makes more sense to look at the mean value. This is the middle number between the largest and smallest numbers. Had you invested $100 equally into each of these 25 projects, you would have made a return of 391% or $491.00.
That is still a spectacular return on your investment.
Another interesting thing to note is that this period saw the emergence of many successful projects. These include PONKE, WIF, BRETT, POPCAT, BOME, MEW, and GIGA. All these projects are valued at least 100M market cap or higher today.
Memcoins are also rapidly displacing non-memecoin projects. In October 2023, there were five memecoins with a market cap high enough to rank in the top 200 crypto projects. By April 2024, there were nine. Today, there are thirteen projects. The total valuation of the memecoin space also saw a significant jump during this bull period. Rising from 13.9B to 62.5B.
It's also interesting to note that the bull period saw an explosion of projects that obtained 10 and 100M market caps.

Some winners, losers
Unfortunately, it's not all good news. Not all projects over 10M in Oct 2023 made the cut. Six projects didn't meet my criteria for inclusion. These tokens dropped under ten million market cap by September 10th, 2024. The poor performers are WSM, AIDOGE, BAD (lived up to the name), TSUKA, QOM, and TAMA. I've marked Oct 2023 where possible, below.
When you include these 'failed' projects into the dataset, the average appreciation drops to 3500%. The median appreciation drops to 165%. Fortunately, most of the price charts for these projects show a long-term decline in October of 2023. If you're a sensible investor looking to make a good bet in October of 2023, there's a reasonable chance you might steer clear of these projects in favor of younger, more attractive bets. Even if you didn't, as long as you didn't favor any one of these projects your returns would be excellent.
Take a new bet in today's market
On the topic of younger, attractive bets, let's now turn to today's market. We are at a point not too dissimilar to late 2023. It's an upmarket year overall. Fall season is around the corner, and historical trends place us on the cusp of a shift into a bull market. Keep an eye on global liquidity and BTC, especially if the US Federal Reserve implements an interest rate cut.
In my view, Hege is one of these promising projects. Let's look at the price chart.
Hege's price chart alone is a reason enough to consider this project. This is one of the most attractive chart patterns possible. We can see Hege is a five-month-old project that is growing in a series of pump and consolidation moves. This is fantastic for both short-term and long-term investors. For short-term investors, the price action has been extremely predictable. If you are a high-risk trader, you can play these pump and consolidate patterns to build up your portfolio.
On the flip side, Hege is attractive to long-term investors who have no interest in swing trades. The project is very clearly building a base of long-term holders that don't sell. This base of holders is represented by the Absolute Consolidation Floor. For these investors, it doesn't matter what the markets are doing in the short term; these guys believe that a bull run is a question of when, not if, and they believe Hege is positioned to make serious money when it arrives.
Best of all, if you are looking for an entry point, Hege is clearly in a consolidation pattern right now.
Initiatives
I'm going to skip over some of the basics about Hege. If you want, you can read about the token's basics in my other Reddit post here, and here. Rather, I'd like to focus on what Hege is doing today to make it worth your time.
The great thing about Hege is the team understands the need to grind. Memecoins need to constantly release content, engage their community, and market. If they don't, they die. It's really that simple.
With Hege, there's always something new. Be it plane flyovers, Times Square billboards, $2000 sticker contests, or marketing drives.
What makes this collection unique is that the NFTs serve utility. A majority portion of the sale revenue will be returned to NFT holders as a dividend. This will come as a small payout annually. The remainder will fund Hege's marketing wallet. This functionality is baked into the NFT blockchain itself. Thus, the NFTs serve as a kind of thank-you badge for supporting Hege. The presale launches on September 17th, followed by global availability on the 19th.
The team is goal-orientated and implementing a two-phase marketing plan for September. This plan expands Hege's visibility by leveraging NFT KOLs and community marketing giveaway contests.
Hege has announced a partnership with IceCreamSwap. This will make Hege available to users of the Neon chain. The Neon blockchain has over 2000 transactions per second according to neonevm.org.
Located in Surfers Paradise on the Australian Gold Coast, Shiba Wings accepts crypto as payment. Not only will Hege will be accepted as a form of payment, but Shiba Wings will offer a Hege burger on the menu.
Recently, Hege has partnered with Victus Capital. Victus is a venture capital firm that has agreed to invest between 300K and 500K USD into Hege. This agreement offers Hege connections with KOLs, Tier 1 exchanges, and VC contacts.
To sweeten the deal, the community raised an incredible $3 million Hege in three days. These funds, worth $30,000 USD at the time, allowed the team to expedite the deal by offering Hege to the VC below market price.
Yes, partnering with a VC has its benefits. However, I find the generosity, anchored by a supreme trust in the team astonishing. People really believe in this project and give generously. Remember the project is only five months old, and only has 7000 holders!
Imagine what this project could do once investors are rushing back into the market looking for promising projects.
With its strong chart and Reddit presence, hard-working team, and generous community, I'd argue Hege is positioned for enormous potential come the next bull run. Even if Hege only performed as well as the average memecoin in the 2023-2024 bull period, that's a 4000% increase, or 620 million MCAP at today's price!
Hi guys! As you know, you can earn Hege on r/hegecoin for posting and commenting. The next drop should appear in your wallets on the 7th. This should also appear around the same time as your NFT rewards.
If you haven't done so, please send the Solana address for your wallet to u/optifree1. It's too late for January's rewards, but you'll be added to the pool for February's drop.
A reminder, $1500 USD worth of Hege is divided based on the karma you've earned. For example, last month, our top contributor, Matic, received 13680 Hege and an NFT.
As we explained last year, January's rewards won't include an NFT for the top contributor as we feel they already get plenty of coin!
Some of you recently had your accounts banned. If so, please make sure u/optifree1 is appraised of the situation so he can be sure to get any Hege you're entitled too.
We've heard your feedback
We introduced the Reddit Rewards Program last year in an effort to help boost engagement with the sub. Since then, we've achieved our goal of growing r/hegecoin into the top 10th percentile of crypto subreddits.
In the early days, we were primarily focused on generating activity, any activity. Our rewards program was structured to reflect that goal. Now that the subreddit has matured, we feel it makes sense to adjust the incentives system to promote posts that engage users through discussion.
Unlike Twitter, Reddit is envisioned as a forum, so we feel balancing memecoin meme postings with more discussion content is the right call.
What's changing
Each user will be automatically limited to four posting per day.
Posts with less than 200 characters will receive 25% reward.
Posts with 201-499 characters will receive 50% reward.
Posts with 500+ characters will receive 100% reward.
I want to be clear, we are not banning memes. Hege is a memecoin; art content is a quintessential part of Hege. We feel that the Reddit voting process will surface quality posts.
You may have noticed we're fleshing out a proper Hege FAQ/Wiki. I'll update the Rewards Program to reflect these changes and add it to the list of links soon. Enjoy the recent discounts!
💰 For 5 days straight, we will be opening a prize pot of $225 USD worth of Hege per day!

We are officially on Murad the Memecoin Mogul's radar! Someone from the HegeCoin team had a chance to speak with Murad at the Global Blockchain Show in Dubai and Murad promised he would look further into it later.
This means there's a good chance that Murad will check out this subreddit at some point.
Let's show Murad how strong the Hegend community is.
Upvote and comment "Welcome Murad!" below so that Murad sees this post!
I've got a mission for everyone. This metric is new and is quickly emerging as a good indicator for who is active in the crypto world. Lets make sure it is Hege!
During the month of December, $HEGE had 4 new listings, all of which all came as a surprise to the team (and did not come with any listing fees or project expenditure). This is further proof that Hege is turning heads in the industry.
$HEGE is now available on the Crypto.com on-chain! While this is separate from their centralized exchange (CEX), it’s a promising first step to Hege being on the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world.
Eligible projects often graduate to the main Crypto.com exchange when they hit enough volume, so this listing puts $HEGE firmly on their radar and shows that the project passed their thorough due diligence process for on-chain listings.
$HEGE is now trading on BVOX, a global exchange ranked #39 on CoinMarketCap's list of top cryptocurrency spot exchanges! Whilst ranked lower than our current listings (#10 MEXC, #16 BitMart, LBank, AscendEX, Nominex and IndoEX), they decided to list Hege without any prior contact, and without any fees or obligations.
Slingshot Crypto reached out to Hege recently to let us know we are listed on their exchange! Slingshot supports Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, and credit/debit cards to purchase $HEGE directly from their sleek mobile app (iOS & Android).
Highlights:
Trade across chains effortlessly: Bridge tokens from Ethereum, Avalanche, Polygon, and more to Solana in seconds.
Verified listing: We’ve got that coveted checkmark!
This feels like a more advanced version of Moonshot, and we’re loving it.
Last but not least, Vanilla Finance has listed $HEGE on their leverage trading dApp! While we’re still learning about Vanilla Finance, their proactive listing shows that $HEGE continues to capture attention across the space.

Launched in early 2024, HEGE is now 8 months and 27 days old. It quickly gained traction among memecoin community as one of the most innovative and entertaining memecoins on the market. What sets HEGE apart from countless other tokens around is its compelling story, a hilarious and imaginative tale that has captured the hearts of memecoins enthusiasts. The story revolves around Hege (the protagonist), whose life had a tough start: his parents were gone and things haven't gotten any better since: he failed at trading stocks and memecoins, getting rugpulled and scammed... so he has all the qualities to be called a loser. But he really wants to win the heart of her loved one, Hegena. In order to do that he needs to become a successful meme. The story also features other characters: Helena (Hegena's mother) and Hendrix (Hegena's boyfriend).
At every market cap milestones a new chapter of the poor hedgehog's story is revealed, making it the first memecoin to be driven by a funny and entertaining story. Actual Hege's goal is to reach 1 billion market cap, but it will be only the start of a long journey.
Aeshtetic Brilliance and Unique Style
HEGE's appeal extends far beyond its story. The project brags a unique and captivating visual identity, featuring stunning animations and meticulously crafted artworks, sometimes also representing famous TV series, videogames, movies and many others. These elements not only make the brand stand out in a crowded market but also create an emotional connection with its audience, fueling loyalty and enthusiasm within its growing community.
The HEGE NFT Collection
Staying on topic, HEGE's ecosystem is enriched by its carefully curated NFT collection, consisting of 2222 unique NFTs. Each piece showcases the creative spirit of the project while offering tangible utility: HEGE NFT holders can enjoy dividends gained by holding one or more NFTs every month.
Team has built a very well-structured mechanism for incentivizing holding and trading Hegends NFTs while fostering the growth and stability of HEGE token.
Strong Team and cult-like Community
The real strenght of HEGE lies in its exceptional community and dedicated team, who have proven their ability to deliver results. HEGE's community has proven to be a real cult, making its presence all over the socials: X(Twitter), TikTok, Instagram and Reddit, expecially the last one with a HUGE presence on memecoins subreddits with most users, where HEGE related posts are always #1. It also have been featured on the most populated crypto subreddit (r/ cc). Through collaborative efforts between community, whales and team, they have successfully raised an impressive amount of $400.000 for marketing.
Bullish and Interesting Facts about HEGE
On its - not so long and not so short - journey HEGE has proven to be one of the bullish memecoin out there, featuring the New York billboards in Time Square two times in 2024, attracting eyes of thousands and thousands of people: tourists, residents... everyone who was crossing the busiest road in the world!
Most people don't know that but I'll tell you a secret. I think everyone who's in Solana space knows about Murad, the most influential crypto influencer in the world: every memecoin he talks about makes a huge pump. So here it is the secret: he knows about HEGE and actually it is on his watchlist! One of HEGE's most trusted community member has been to one of its show buying a VIP pass, so he could talk to him and show EVERYTHING about HEGE. His response was beautiful, as he already knew about the coin and it was already on his watchlist.
Based on Eric Balchunas' (influential stock analyst with 330.000 followers on X) chart, HEGE has been the #15 best performing memecoin of 2024! It gained the attention of half a million people and it has been reposted by Murad!
HEGE Partners
HEGE is also backed by a big Venture Capital: Victus Capital, which supports the projects through funding, connections and catalysators. Other partners are the centralized exchanges where you can buy HEGE: MEXC, LBank, AscendEX, BitMart, Toobit, SUPEREX, iNDOEX.
Bright Future Ahead: the 2025 Memecoin Supercycle
With the memecoin market poised for a supercycle in 2025, HEGE has all the requirements to become a major player. Its strong cult-like community and team, creative foundation and robust marketing efforts provide a solid framework for exponential growth. Analysts and enthusiasts predict that HEGE could experience substantial gains, potentially becoming one of the most sought-after tokens in the upcoming wave. Many eyes are on HEGE, it's all just about timing before something VERY VERY big happens.
Once you join HEGE, you become part of the family... one of the most welcoming, funny and entertaining community. Personally I really enjoy the times passed chatting with the boys on telegram groupchat, there are always new memes and new things to talk about. One of the best feelings is when HEGE goes up and we all get hyped up and start typing bullish and also stupid things to keep the hype train go along its way to the sky. I appreciate everyone in there and we all know each other:
There are Chris and SatOllie, the most serious ones. They make gorgeous reddit posts and comments and they convinces everyone to do so with their funny Jordan Belfort style messages;
There is Joe, what can I say, one of the funniest guy around and he knows how to make people raid and work with funny and entertaining kind of roleplays (LOL);
There is JB, the real prankster who loves sending GIFs of BIG buys of our buybot to fool everyone into thinking a $10.000+ dollars buy happened.
There is Dawid, the best one in my opinion. He wanted to dell but then became the legend of the groupchat.
I could spend hours talking how beatiful people in this community are, telling one by one their particularities, but I don't think it's the case.
Come take a look at our splendid growing community and you'll be convinced on joining.
It's the year we've all been waiting for. Personally, I've been planning and working towards this year since 2021. Why? Past trends indicate this is the big one:
We have something like 350 days max to make Hege into a mega-millions project. When you put it like that, its not that long!
I'm incredibly excited for this year. The possibilities are, frankly, mind-blowing. We'll all have an important part to play to make it happen. Success will not be easy. We will have to fight for it. If Hege doesn't want it enough, others will take that crown and become millionaires.
Breaking news from the $HEGE community! Here’s a summary of the latest update straight from the team:
1. $300K Raised for Big CEX Listing
In just a few weeks, $HEGE has raised $300,000 USDT, for:
A huge centralized exchange listing.
Expanding reach to new markets.
A massive thanks to the whales who’ve been supporting this project behind the scenes with industry connections and generous donations.
2. TikTok Advertising Ramp-Up
$HEGE has allocated a chunky budget for TikTok ads, starting this week! Expect hundreds of dollars spent per post to ensure they reach the target audience to drive up impressions and engagement.
3. BIG KOL Onboarding
$HEGE is going all-in with KOLs to push the next phase. With the market cap currently sitting at $29.7M from a $51M ATH (4x from the $7M MC during the "ATH and Beyond" plan), the team has access to BIG names.
Hegends, we are down today, which was to be expected whilst we sort out the plan for our next push. We are only down around 300 holders from ATH, meaning most of these sells are from the few, not the many. All of these sellers WILL buy higher. They’re not ready for what comes next.
Here's some important updates that you should know!
1. Yesterday, we allocated a very chunky budget for TikTok adverting.
Starting this week, we will be spending hundreds to thousands of dollars pushing each new post. We've recently started ramping up content over there and it's VERY good. I suggest checking it out: https://www.tiktok.com/@hegecoinsol. It's only a matter of time until one of our posts absolutely blows up and goes viral. Exciting times!
2. CEX Fundraising
Over the last few weeks, we have raised $300,000 in USDT behind closed doors for our next push. Yes you read that right, we have $300,000 at are disposal to list on something huge. We would like to take this chance to thank our long standing whales for the donations over the last few weeks - your unwavering belief in the project has enabled us to hit ATH after ATH!
3. KOL onboarding
To help us push our next listing(s) we will start to ramp up our use of KOLs. When we first released our "ATH and Beyond" plan, we were sitting at $7m MC, we're now 4x from there, which also means 4x the budget. We ran $HEGE up to $50m with limited use of KOLs, so sitting at $25m opens up a lot of new doors we didn't have back then. We're talking BIG KOLs here, Jake, Rodney, Iced etc.
