What it means for you
Meme coins: what this family of tests supports, in plain moves. Information only, not financial advice.
- Most new meme coins were gone within a day of their peak, and the money was made by the first wallets in, not by anyone who heard about the coin.
- Red flags such as insider wallets were common on the coins that dumped, but also on the ones that didn't.
- If you play anyway: only money you can lose entirely, never on a stranger's tip, and never with a wallet that holds the rest of your savings.
Keeping what you have matters more than any rule: the few tools we would use.
