Ah, the memecoins! These are cryptos often born as jokes or community phenomena... but some have made big returns for their investors. Here is an overview:
What is a memecoin?
These are tokens often without serious technical use cases at the start, but which explode thanks to:
The community effect (Reddit, Twitter/X, Telegram)
The buzz and influencers
Ultra-fast pump & hype mechanics
Major memecoins to know
1. Dogecoin (DOGE)
The original, launched in 2013 as a joke.
Supported by Elon Musk.
Sometimes used as a means of payment (Tesla accepts it for some products).
2. Shiba Inu (SHIB)
Inspired by DOGE, but with a more DeFi vision.
Expanding ecosystem (Shibarium, a layer 2).
Huge community.
3. Pepe (PEPE)
