Huge positive price waves in a matter of days or weeks are natural. But what is this all about? 
What are meme coins?
Meme coins are a type of cryptocurrency whose popularity is directly related to internet memes and viral marketing on social networks. Typically, they are initially created as a joke without any practical function.
The first and most famous token was Dogecoin (DOGE), launched in 2013 based on the popular Shiba Inu dog meme. DOGE was initially intended to be a parody of Bitcoin (BTC). However, over time, this asset gained a billion-dollar capitalization.

The main difference between meme coins and traditional cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum (ETH) or Bitcoin is the lack of intrinsic value and emission restrictions. Their cost depends entirely on demand amid the Internet boom, and because of this, meme coins are characterized by increased volatility.
However, recently, there has been a tendency to give meme coins greater practical significance. For example, the developers of Shiba Inu (SHIB) and FLOKI are creating their own metaverses, NFT platforms, and educational ecosystems based on these assets.

Million-dollar profit — this year’s trend
The number of issued meme tokens is growing with enviable regularity, and traders manage to earn fortunes from them. However, such success is usually short-term and random. In the long term, as internet popularity declines, the value of most meme coins tends to zero. 
Presumably, those who earn millions of dollars on meme tokens have insider information. Otherwise, how would these traders and investors know that prices for certain meme coins would show rapid growth? The editors of crypto.news spoke with traders who could make profits on condition of anonymity.
Frog Investments
Members of the Pepe (PEPE) crypto community are celebrating the frog token’s new all-time high. Amid this, one user said that he turned just $90 into $1.4 million thanks to PEPE.
In mid-April 2023, a trader purchased almost 6.5 trillion PEPE on the Uniswap crypto exchange just for fun. Since the initial investment amount was small, the trader did not sell the tokens and decided to watch what would happen to them.
This decision turned out to be the most correct one — in May 2024, 6.5 trillion PEPE made the anonymous trader a dollar millionaire. However, a user with the nickname Mina said that he does not intend to sell PEPE and now believes that one day, the price of the frog coin will exceed $1.

几天或几周内出现巨大的积极价格波动是很自然的。但这到底是怎么回事？ 什么是模因币？模因币是一种加密货币，其受欢迎程度与互联网模因和社交网络上的病毒式营销直接相关。通常，它们最初是作为一个笑话而创建的，没有任何实际功能。第一个也是最著名的代币是狗狗币（DOGE），它于 2013 年基于流行的柴犬狗模因推出。 DOGE 最初的目的是模仿比特币（BTC）。然而，随着时间的推移，这一资产获得了数十亿美元的资本化。您可能还喜欢： 不仅仅是狗狗币 meme：社区记住的 Shiba Inu Kabosu meme 币与以太坊 (ETH) 或比特币等传统加密货币之间的主要区别是缺乏内在价值和排放限制。它们的成本完全取决于互联网繁荣时期的需求，正因为如此，meme 币的特点是波动性加大。然而，最近有一种趋势是赋予 meme 币更大的实际意义。例如，Shiba Inu (SHIB) 和 FLOKI 的开发者正在基于这些资产创建自己的元宇宙、NFT 平台和教育生态系统。您可能还喜欢： Meme 币市值达到 580 亿美元 利润百万美元 — 今年的趋势已发行的模因代币数量正在以令人羡慕的规律性增长，交易者设法从中赚取财富。然而，这种成功通常是短期的和随机的。从长远来看，随着互联网普及率下降，大多数模因币的价值趋于零。 据推测，那些通过模因代币赚取数百万美元的人掌握着内幕信息。否则，这些交易者和投资者怎么知道某些模因币的价格会出现快速增长？ crypto.news 的编辑与匿名交易者进行了交谈。 Frog Investments Pepe (PEPE) 加密货币社区的成员正在庆祝青蛙代币创下历史新高。其中，一位用户表示，由于 PEPE，他仅将 90 美元变成了 140 万美元。 2023 年 4 月中旬，一名交易员只是为了好玩而在 Uniswap 加密货币交易所购买了近 6.5 万亿个 PEPE。由于初始投资金额较小，交易者没有出售代币，而是决定看看它们会发生什么。结果证明这个决定是最正确的——2024年5月，6.5万亿PEPE让匿名交易者成为美元百万富翁。不过，一位昵称为 Mina 的用户表示，他不打算出售 PEPE，现在相信有一天，青蛙币的价格将超过 1 美元。

“Sometimes I want to sell my PEPE, but I save it as a reminder not to rush. The meme coin market has not yet finished conquering the peaks, and it is likely that my PEPE will make me a billionaire in a year.” Mina, anonymous trader

“有时我想卖掉我的 PEPE，但我会把它保存起来，以提醒我不要着急。迷因币市场还没有完成征服高峰，我的 PEPE 很可能会让我在一年内成为亿万富翁。”米娜，匿名交易员

Strong belief in dogs and love of hats
A trader from the meme coin Telegram community shared an impressive story of earnings on the Dogwifhat (WIF) coin. However, this case is unlike the inspiring stories of traders whose coins grow 1000 times in an hour.
The anonymous trader used a different strategy — HODL. He purchased WIF in December 2023 and analyzed the overall activity on the Solana network and the crypto market’s growth prospects.
After weighing all the risks, the trader bought approximately $500 worth of tokens, expecting further growth. As a result, he earned about $15,000 simply by keeping assets on his balance sheet. 

对狗的坚定信念和对帽子的热爱来自 Meme 货币 Telegram 社区的一位交易员分享了 Dogwifhat (WIF) 货币令人印象深刻的收益故事。然而，这个案例与交易者的励志故事不同，他们的币在一小时内增长了1000倍。匿名交易者使用了不同的策略——HODL。他于 2023 年 12 月购买了 WIF，并分析了 Solana 网络上的整体活动以及加密货币市场的增长前景。在权衡所有风险后，该交易员购买了价值约 500 美元的代币，预计会进一步增长。结果，他仅通过将资产保留在资产负债表上就赚取了约 15,000 美元。 

“I’ve heard stories of traders making billions of dollars in profits starting with just $100. However, as an active participant in the crypto community, I find these stories to be the exception to the rule. The meme coin market is still very opaque and confusing, so the inspiring stories about traders are likely simply insider trading.” Meme coin community member

“我听说过交易者从 100 美元开始赚取数十亿美元利润的故事。然而，作为加密货币社区的积极参与者，我发现这些故事是规则的例外。模因币市场仍然非常不透明和混乱，因此有关交易员的鼓舞人心的故事很可能只是内幕交易。” Meme币社区成员

More conservatism 
Another crypto community member with the nickname Andilet called for caution when investing in meme coins and shared his strategy for diversifying assets. He advised dividing the crypto portfolio by risk level, with 10% of the portfolio made up of high-risk, volatile coins, including meme coins.
Despite the high risk, allocating part of the portfolio to meme coins seemed appropriate since meme coins are more likely to provide significant profits.

“In general, it is difficult to predict in the long term how the meme coin market will behave — because in memes, everything depends heavily on hype, the level of which is also challenging to predict.” Andilet, SHIB investor

“总的来说，很难预测模因币市场的长期表现——因为在模因中，一切都很大程度上取决于炒作，而炒作的程度也很难预测。”安迪莱特 (Andilet)，SHIB 投资者

He invested in Shiba Inu in the summer of 2023, spending about $5,000 to purchase coins at a price of $0.0000077. Now, with an SHIB rate of $0.000025, his assets are worth about $50,000.

他于 2023 年夏天投资了 Shiba Inu，花费约 5,000 美元以 0.0000077 美元的价格购买了柴犬。现在，SHIB 利率为 0.000025 美元，他的资产价值约为 50,000 美元。

“I believe that in the case of meme coins, an individual approach to each project is important. You can guess the trend in the short and medium term by closely studying the project.” Andilet, SHIB investor

“我认为，就模因币而言，每个项目采取单独的方法很重要。通过仔细研究该项目，你可以猜测中短期的趋势。”安迪莱特 (Andilet)，SHIB 投资者

Summing up: to invest or not to invest?
Investing in meme cryptocurrencies is a considerable risk. This can bring a solid profit due to speculation, successful exit timing, and a complete capital loss. The main thing is to monitor social networks, read the news, be able to search for information, and the first time a media personality mentions any meme coin, try to get it.
