They are simply dreaming with their eyes open, as the community as a whole is not going to forget about what happened, and the only fate awaiting for that coin is to disappear.
It won't disappear but it will eventually die because of how the community will decide on this one. Those that still up til' now that can't move on, they're hoping for something for it to happen and for the best of it. But no matter what they do, it's no longer going to be back to its former.
That's the reality with coins that have been involved with controversy and it's mostly going to remain as a meme coin because people that will buy it will not think of what they do and it's just out there for the liquidity and quick money.
