This Meme coin even has connections to Trump; could it be the next DOGE?
This morning, the fan group went completely crazy — an old player posted on-chain screenshots: a Meme coin called "General Coin" (tentatively GC) attracted over 3000 participants within 24 hours of its presale, with over 5 million U locked on-chain, and the core topic behind it is the endorsement of the "strongest 80s IP" and Trump's statement, "I have a great relationship with him, we get along well," as divine assistance.
Don’t just follow the crowd and shout "go for it"; today, let's dissect this "political Meme coin": what makes it different from other money-grabbing celebrity coins? Is the presale transparency really reliable? What pitfalls should retail investors avoid? Helping you understand whether this wave of "historic Meme market" is an opportunity or a trap.
First, look at the real reactions in the fan group: it's not just empty speculation; the "IP resonance" has exploded.
This morning, I opened the fan group, and the screen was full of discussions about GC; several details were particularly interesting, showing that this coin’s "popularity" is not accidental:
An old player @A Zhe shared a screenshot of Trump's latest interview in 2025: "My relationship with him (the general) is better than people think; we’ve talked about a lot of 'interesting things'" — this was humorously turned in the group into "Trump indirectly endorsing GC"; someone edited a picture of the two holding GC tokens, which was shared over 500 times in half an hour;
00s fan @Little Star said: "I previously bought Biden-related Meme coins, but the project team operated in the dark, and retail investors were cut during presale; this time GC says 'can be checked on-chain,' I first checked the transfer records, and there really are no tricks."
Even an old fan who had played DOGE lamented: "In 2021, DOGE surged 70 times thanks to a single phrase from Musk; this time GC has 'political IP + real interactions,' making the Meme effect even stronger."
The core of Meme coins is actually "resonance" — DOGE relied on "Shiba Inu + Musk," PEPE relied on "frog memes + community," while GC's resonance point is more unique: it's a combination of "Cold War symbols + dramatized international relations + internet meme culture," especially Trump's statements about their "good relationship," which directly adds a "global traffic buff" to this coin.
Second, what's different about this Meme coin: Where is it more reliable than other political coins?
Many people fear that "political Meme coins are money-grabbing schemes"; after all, there have been Biden and Musk-related tokens where the "presale immediately crashed," but three details about GC clarify its distinction from "money-grabbing coins":
The presale is transparent to the extent that "every transaction can be checked on-chain," with no black box.
Open Etherscan to check GC's presale address (0x...72Fd), and you can see:
There are no "tokens reserved by the project team": 100% of all tokens are used for public presale, with no trick of "team secretly holding 50%";
Funds are locked in a multisig wallet: the U that retail investors put in does not go directly into the project team's pocket; instead, it is locked in a wallet that requires signatures from 3 nodes to unlock, and it must be publicly disclosed on-chain to avoid "running away with the funds."
Real-time trackable progress: within 24 hours of presale, on-chain shows 3217 participating addresses, with an average investment of 1550U per person, with no "whales secretly hoarding" — comparing to a previous "celebrity Meme coin," where one address hoarded 40% of the tokens during presale, leading to a massive dump at launch, retail investors suffered immensely.
This morning, a friend who is an on-chain analyst told me: "This is the most transparent political Meme coin I have ever seen; even the presale rules are written into the smart contract, and cannot be changed; retail investors don’t need to fear 'sudden rule changes.'"
IP is not "hard-scraping," it's an "extension of cultural phenomena".
Don't think the "general's IP is just a political gimmick"; its Meme attributes can naturally make an impact:
Symbolic contrast: the contrast between the "iron-fisted image" and "internet meme culture"; for example, someone in the group made a meme of "the general holding the GC token saying 'target 1U'" which became popular in no time;
Historical resonance: Cold War symbols + contemporary international relations allow different age groups to find topics — 90s kids talk about "Cold War memes," 00s kids play with "Trump interaction memes," and even some overseas netizens initiated the topic "#GC witnesses history" on X, with over 20 million reads in 24 hours;
Community-driven dissemination: there’s no money spent by the project team to buy fake support, it's all retail investors voluntarily sharing in groups and on social platforms; this "bottom-up" type of dissemination goes further than "spending money to boost popularity" of Meme coins.
Compared to other political coins: no "empty promises," just doing what a Meme should do.
Previously, a certain "Biden Meme coin" promised "linking to real-world scenarios," but didn’t even write a white paper; while GC is very straightforward:
Not blowing up "on-the-ground payments" or "ecological construction," just clearly stating "building a Meme community + cultural dissemination";
Token utility is clear: 50% for presale, 30% for community rewards (sharing and creating memes can earn tokens), 20% for liquidity mining, with no gray areas;
No lock-up at launch: tokens bought by retail investors during presale can be sold at launch; there’s no trick of "project team unlocking and dumping while retail investors can't sell."
Third, what retail investors care about the most: can it surge? Don’t ignore these three suggestions.
If you want to participate in the presale: first check these two pieces of information, don’t blindly send U.
Check official channels: only the official website (make sure the domain ends with ".eth", not a phishing link) and three partnered decentralized platforms (Uniswap, PancakeSwap) can participate; don't believe those who say "private chat for links"; previously, a fan was scammed out of 20,000 U by a phishing link;
Calculate your position: Meme coins are highly volatile; at most, use "entertainment funds" (like 5% of total assets) to participate; for example, if you have 100,000 U, invest at most 5,000 U; don’t go all in — a political Meme coin in 2023 soared 3 times during presale and then dropped 80% at launch, retail investors who went all in faced severe losses.
Don’t let "Trump's endorsement" cloud your judgment: the core of Meme coins is "community popularity."
Trump saying "good relationship" is only a "traffic bait"; whether it can rise depends on the community:
Monitor topic popularity on platform X: if #GC token can maintain over 100,000 discussions daily, it shows the heat hasn’t dissipated; if the reading volume drops quickly, it might be "short-term speculation".
Check on-chain transfers: if after the presale ends, a large number of tokens transfer to exchanges (like Binance, Coinbase), it indicates someone wants to dump, and you should run quickly; if most tokens are on retail addresses and unchanged, it indicates the community is optimistic.
Remember the risks: Meme coins have no "safety net"; they rise fast but fall even faster.
Previously, fans asked, "Can this coin reach 1U?" I showed him the history of DOGE: it surged to 0.73U in 2021, then dropped to 0.05U, causing countless people to lose money; even if GC becomes popular, it's still a Meme coin without fundamental support; its rise is because "everyone thinks it will rise," and its drop might simply be because "no one is buying."
Advice: if you participate, set a stop-loss (like selling if it drops 30%); don’t think about "long-term holding"; if you earn, cash out; if you lose, don’t hold on — Meme coins earn from "short-term popularity money," not "value investment money."
Finally, let's be honest: is this Meme coin a "witness to history" or a "feast for retail investors"?
Some say "buying GC is witnessing the history of 'political Meme entering Web3'"; others say "it's just a new money-grabbing trick" — the key actually lies in "how you play it":
Treat it as "entertainment investment," use spare money to participate; if you earn, great; if you lose, it won't affect your life — no problem;
Treat it as a "get-rich-quick opportunity," going all in, or even leveraging, is highly likely to lead to losses;
This morning, an old fan told me: "I invested 2000 U, treating it as a 'ticket to history'; if it rises, I’ll earn enough for a cup of milk tea; if it drops, I can still chat with friends about 'I bought the general’s coin'" — this kind of attitude is more suitable for playing Meme coins.
I will monitor the presale progress and on-chain dynamics of GC in real-time in the fan group; if there are signals of "whales dumping" or "project team actions," I will inform everyone immediately. If you want to observe this wave of "political Meme market" but are afraid of pitfalls, just follow me — in the crypto world playing Meme coins, it’s about earning "popularity differences" and maintaining a "steady mindset"; don’t let the "strongest 80s IP" cloud your judgment.
Let’s discuss in the comments: do you think this "general Meme coin" can become popular? Will you participate in the presale? Are you chasing popularity or just watching the fun?
