3. The Memecoin Problem
Of the millions of memecoins launched, almost all of them follow the same pattern:
Launch with hype
Pump 10x-100x in days or weeks
Dump back to zero
Die
The exceptions are Dogecoin (survived due to early adoption and community), BNB (Binance's utility token), and perhaps Pepe/Shiba (likely exchange-backed marketing stunts). Everything else that doesn't have real utility eventually trends toward zero against Bitcoin.
Why? Because there's nothing to do.
Most memecoins are just tokens with a logo. No platform, no culture beyond speculation, no reason to hold except hoping for another pump. You can't participate in anything meaningful. You just hold and wait.
For someone who wants to be part of crypto long-term but isn't a trader timing markets, the options are:
Bitcoin: Too big to make meaningful gains unless you have serious capital
Ethereum/Solana: Speculation on tech platforms you probably won't build on
Shitcoins: Gambling with near-certain eventual loss
There's nothing designed for someone who wants to participate actively and hold long-term in something that might actually grow because of that participation. FAQ proof of meme
