Just as the concept of "meme" can lose its humor over time, these coins could also lose their appeal among users. This is one reason why I think they may not have a bright future unless these projects incorporate more use cases and address blockchain issues. Currently, I believe it's wise to exercise caution when considering them.
All of the "meme" coins you see on the market are just "temporary trends" that will eventually become history (with the exception of Dogecoin). If you're getting into "meme" coins, it would be to make some short-term profits and built your way out ASAP. BTC and ETH are the real deal if you're looking for something that will last for generations.
Most people don't understand that "meme" coins are a passing fad, as they're only focusing on the money. They'll end up "rekt" in the long term as the hype fades away into oblivion. Who knows if in the future Dogecoin remains the sole "meme" coin actively traded on the market? Just my thoughts
If you don't know how to play with meme most of the time, you will lose your money, just like what you said. A short ride is better if you are working with meme projects.
ETH, BNB and most for BTC if you are aiming for long-term investment but if you take the path for meme project
make sure that you are willing to take that big risk. Timing might give you the opportunity to earn, but not most of the
time you will be in the right time, chances to get stuck are always possible.
