What's Your Take on Celebrities Backing Memecoins?

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Well, the opinion I have towards altcoins that are backed up by celebrities is that those celebrities can actually manipulate the volatility of that token. If you are investing in such a token, then you have to be very smart and persistent in watching the market because the momentum at which the token is pumped is equally how it will get dumped. Most investors are so smart, and they love trends too. They picture what the market flow is going to look like and invest a certain amount. If the volatility is moving in their predicted direction, they invest more money, and once they make enough profit, they will zoom off from the market, or when they see that the market has reached a high peak and is moving back, they will sell.

So, if you are investing, be very observant of the market, enter at the right time, and exit at the right time too, so that you don't incur too much loss.

Hi everyone, I'm asking because I've witnessed a memecoin named MOTHER, which is backed by Iggy Azalea, go from a $100k market cap to over $100M in less than 7 days, with the potential to even hit $1B, in my opinion. That's amazing and electric if you ask me.

Did you follow this meme coin? What's your opinion on it, and do you think we'll see more memecoins backed by celebrities?

All these celebrities you see backing up all these memecions projects are doing it for their pocket; they always get paid for the work. Almost all these projects you see out in the market that involve celebrities are just using that to attract the attention of people. Once they gain that attention and people invest in the project, they will just dump the project and withdraw their funds. So, if you want to invest in any project out there in the crypto market, don't ever consider celebrities' backed up as a criterion for choosing a project; if not, you will end up in a scam project. If you want to choose a project, avoid ones that celebrities are promoting. Infact memecions is even see as Gambling in my side because almost of them are pump and dump project.

Celebrities making adverts for memecoins? It's funny how people get lured to losses because they've failed to understand the system when it comes to memecoins. I've never convinced and change my decision whenever a celebrity make trends regarding a memecoins, be it to be my favorite celebrity, not holding back but ensuring I find out with my own style because this is cryptocurrency and never to trust anyone, we're all in to make money and not make losses.

Many celebrities are now frauding they fans by creating a memecoins, there is one currently making news in my country where a celebrity launched his own memecoin name it in his name, and when the coin was lunched on Solana network, he went on to dump his large coin holdings when the market have already been pumped.


I think by dumping his entire holding he systematically dump the market on investors, right now the coin is on a negative trend for a long time with no hope of recovering for now at least many of his fans who invested in the coin are in a grave loses right now.

If the celebrity is a popular person then it’s a good one. Imagine if Elon Musk was backing a meme coin right now. In fact he already backed DOGE in the past and we can see how greatly it turned out. Today there’s many more meme coins from the inspiration of that. So it really depends on who’s backing the project and not just saying “celebrity”.

Despite of rug pulls being unfortunate series of events, it is not exactly illegal not to mention that it would be hard to prove such illegal acts were committed.

But I don’t understand why would a celebrity do this? Don’t they have an image to protect? Now wouldn’t they lose their career because all of their fans are angry at them? Or will the fans just accept anything because they are fans of that person?

[lixer]

The question is do they even know what they are promoting?
Do they have knowledge about crypto or how it works, what is the purpose of the crypto that they are promoting.
Most of them are just being used for publicity, they accept it just for the money, they are being paid to promote the project.

Someone says that the coin was named after her. I think that's another reason on why she promotes it. In the past, Elon musk also supported a couple of meme coins in the past like DOGE, SHIB,... , not because of the money because he is already wealthy but he only finds them cute. I don't think they are that dumb to not know what they are promoting but they smart for them to achieve their current status. Crypto is not a secret anymore and everyone knows it already, so yeah, they also know it. Meme coins doesn't really have a unique purpose but it's not a big deal compared to a normal cryptos where they are supposed to have it but many of them still doesn't.

Absolutely not.  It's like following celebrities for political advise.  They are just people and what in the world would iggy know about crypto that would make me blindly follow something she is on?  I think it's actually a bigger red flag because most likely they are getting paid to promote something and likely because the intent is to scam everyone.  If a project was so good they wouldn't have to pay these people to push theor crap tokens around.  I'll pass.

[nelson4lov]

There have dozens of celebrity memecoins and so far, only about 1-2 have really stood out and it's the ones by Iggy and Andrew tate. The deal with celebrity memecoins is that they have a 50% chance or lower chance to ever go above the nominal level of a regular pump and dump scheme. I'm yet to get into any of these memecoin projects that have actually "boomed" simply because they're mostly borne out of private groups like cabals and if one isn't an insider, you really won't be able to tell which projects will rug and which will succeed. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What's the point of asking for our take on that. In short celebrities are known for promoting stuff so that they can earn money by their promotions and they are made for that. Why would a crypto trader take these kind of celebrities and influencers seriously.

We have learned trading to apply our skills and to know that we are here because of our skills. So we should focus on our takes and analyzation rather than on celebrities promotion.

Not that it would start from a bitcointalk forum, but I think the logic is that they are getting away with scam. So if I create a scam coin, and my only purpose is to steal money from people, and hire X celeb to help me, and pay them, then people invest because they like and trust that celeb, and then I steal everyone's money who invested because of that celeb, then is the whole fault at the dev who created that project, or does the celeb have any responsibility as well?

This is why I think it's quite important to start asking these questions, because there is a very valid possibility that we are going to end up with people not really understanding how any of this works, and that's why it's going to be very tough for celebs if it was made to be illegal.

And dumped from $100M under $30M in days...

If such a token would hit to $1B and dumped from there, Iggy Azalea would go to jail for promoting it. Just like rest of celebrities backing their high marketcap memecoins. But most likely this stays a lowcap and she gets away without a scratch.

Edit: i googled it and guess what. She is already being investigated for inside trading. Funny how it always happens with these people. They never learn.

But go ahead, trade with meme, or celebrity tokens. At least meme characters won't get sued.

I think what celebrities have done is very interesting because it reminds me of Elonmusk who made the price of Dogecoin increase extraordinarily and beyond ordinary human understanding. and I really support the actions carried out by celebrities and world-famous people. and making cryptocurrency increasingly global and increasingly known to the wider community so that more and more people join the cryptocurrency market.

Are you talking about Mother Iggy (MOTHER) coin which in SOLANA ecosystem? In coinmarketcap there are many altcoins with similar name, i think you asked about it. SOLANA based MEME coins are now trending, i see MOTHER coin price is enough good and listed some good exchanges but i didn’t heard about before this thread. So i didn’t follow it, i don’t think this MEME coins is looks potential and suitable for the long term investment.

I don’t know the meme coin, this is even my first time hearing about the coin, and I don’t have to do any research about the project because it’s of no use to me. Celebrities backing meme coins are just for their own selfish interests, and I don’t think it’s more than that, maybe the developers of the project pay them for them to promote the project for them, or the celebrity is also part of the project, so he is just promoting his business, and that doesn’t make the project real. After they make their money, that’s all. Celebrities don’t really care about their followers, as long as they're making money, that’s all.

Well there has been so many celebrities that did support the meme coins. In the beginning I did listen tow hat they had to say. BUt now we know they will say anything to make some money.
Some celebrities like Zack Morris, Davido, Katlyn Jenner, and Iggy Azalea. They do not know nothing about crypto. So if you listen to them and buy their tokens then it is your own fault if it is a 'rug pull'.

If they are paid for it and it's only marketing then they should be responsible for any loss that anyone makes just like the companies that make them lose, but if they are actually interested in it like how Elon Musk was to doge, without personal gain and just enjoying and actually liking it, then I find that to be a great thing.

You and I have the right to back a memecoin if we want to, because we are not famous there is nothing wrong with that, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with some celebrity having the same thing as well, if they are not really that much of a big deal, then we shouldn't really be worried. Only time it is not a good deal is when they are paid to promote it and then it becomes something terrible for everyone involved and should even be illegal.

lol - why would I take a celebrities' advice on anything other than the career / job / specialty than made them a celebrity  in the first place?   

You have a point because most of them are just for the money, they do not know deeply about the crypto investment, after all, we are all trying our luck, and no one knows it all/assuredly, so many of them could fake it. Still, one may know their capability with the advice they issue and the way they handle their crypto discussions, I've seen a few of them that are good at it, but we should be careful, DYOR is key. Notwithstanding, following some celebrities like that has helped some people to have some firsthand information and I often wish I had listened to some of them in the past.

I can't know it all, none can.

I totally agree.
You always should do your analysis before going in, even if the biggest boy on the market tells you to do otherwise and ball this coin.
It's essential to be responsible and stay like that.
