01
Meme coins are the loudest, fastest, riskiest corner of crypto. Here is how they actually work.
02
A meme coin is built around a joke or community — value comes from attention, not a product.
03
They pump on virality, the low-price illusion, FOMO, and coordinated influencers or whales.
04
Most dump because there is nothing underneath once the attention moves on.
05
Red flags: anonymous team, unlocked liquidity, a few wallets holding most of the supply.
06
Treat any meme coin as money you are fully prepared to lose — losing it all is the base case.
