[Josefjix]

Memecoins are and will never be dead, memecoins are emerging into the crypto market everyday and they are the worst and the best assets to look out for if you wants to get massive profits with low amount of investments. The memecoins that actually do well and stand in the test of times are the ones listed on top and leading centralized exchange. These ones has greater usage with many use cases that brings utilities into the blockchain, they have every reasons why you want to purchase them thereby making them strive during bull season.

If you are looking to considering these assets, then you can pick out those listed on Binance, Coinbase, Okex and other volatile market or exchange, examples of these memecoins are pepe, floki, Doge, bonk, 1000Sat and many more on major market.

so far, there are still a lot of meme coins that have emerged, and are still surviving. this proves that meme coins are still being used to gain profit. although there are a lot of meme coins that have died, new ones will emerge. as long as it continues to generate huge profits, i think it will continue to exist.

[DeathAngel]

I think meme coins will still do really well this year. It's peak bull year, Bitcoin will drag many coins up with it tgis year. The only danger is that meme coins are a bit of a mine field, there are just so many, it’s easy to buy the wrong ones & get rug pulled. If you enjoy meme coins look for ones with a good community, a hype on social media & only invest a small amount.

Memes are like wild fire - they sparkle bright, and die out fast too.
No matter how many there are out there, most of them will be dead in a week or even less. If they are not honey pots from the start.

For me there are meme coins that are still worth it to invest, as you've mention there are some who are having upgrades,still in the market and so far some are even in the top 100 coins in cmc so for me that is a proof that they are still worth it.

Memecoins are going to continue to be a thing this year, and the reason is simple: investing in memecoins is comparable to some kind of gambling and there will be always people willing to gamble their money in order to get a bunch of money from other investors (who should have known better before buying at the very top of the price).
Let us not fool ourselves, most memecoins are and will continue to be useless and just an attempt of a few people to grab cash from others and then get flatlined by the market, though that won't mean this year the trend is going to end.

The worst part of memecoins markets though, is how influencers and internet personalities have taken advantage of their followers to get richer by promoting some shady memecoins or even their own memecoin, with their name tied to it. Hopefully, we won't see as many blatant cases like those.

This is the correct answer. They are a lot like gambling and they only go up with hype, and there are few of them which made some people rich, so there will always be other people who will try their chances. Of course there are hundreds of terrible ones that we do not even hear about, go take a look at any launchpool and you will see that in 2024 there were hundreds that didn't get even funding, and dozens of ones that get funding but did nothing but just grabbed the money and ran.

But just because there is a chance that it could potentially be a big one, a small chance, like a lottery, people keep investing into it. Sure there are plenty that went badly, but I am sure that it will not end and we will keep seeing it do fine eventually, we just need to be careful.

I think meme coins still have some potential but they come w/ lot of risks. Some like pepe saw huge gains in 2024 most are still driven more by hype than solid fundamentals. It's easy to gett caught up in the excitement but the volatility can be brutal. If i were to invest in them, i'd make sure to have clear strategy, understand the risks and be prepared for the possibility of losing my investments. Diversifying and staying informed would definitely help minimize the risks.

Creating meme coins is already that too easy nowadays on which as long you could provide up that liquidity then you can already be able to make one, but due to this then it will really be that causing up that tons of shit tokens in the market or in decentralized exchangers. This is why on the moment that you do consider out on doing some investment with meme coins then i do agree about having that huge luck factor when it comes to meme coin hunting, because on the moment that you will be able to deal up with this but be sure that you do have that strong heart and mind because the fastness on how profits and loses come and go will really be just that too fast. If you arent that prepared for it then better not to touch up this space.

Are theyre worth it for this year 2025? Whether you do like it or not then you would be still be able to see up these shit tokens in exchangers. Not all will really be able to fly out but we do really know that there are some tokens that could fly out on time with huge multiplier and once you do able to spot out this one and able to buy cheap or at the bottom then it could potentially be able to make you rich and there are indeed people who do become rich because of such situation and thats why this is the main reason on why people are really that fond too much when it comes to meme coins because they do know that money making opportunities such as this.

Ironically, if you need to be ready or prepared to lose all your investment, then I am afraid you are not even investing money anymore and you would be gambling instead.
There is no amount of information or diversification within the realm of shitcoins which could save you of them getting flatlined by the whales, the scammers and pre-miners. It is better just to leave the gambling on the casino and investments to actual assets which have already been time-proven: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, among others.

Be wise and do not lose any of your hard-earned money this year because of the influence of people in the internet trying to push FOMO into your head.

So… what’s your take on meme coins in 2025? 
- Are they a smart gamble? 
- Or just another bubble waiting to pop?

Unfortunately, we will still have a lot of memes in 2025. Some investors are still making money, and developers are still looking for the next big meme, and they are looking for a good narrative on the memes they are going to create on if these memes are a good gamble. As long as you are willing and comfortable with losing, I think after four years we cannot consider it a bubble anymore; its a part of the market that will not die because some memes are trying to have use cases, although many of us are hoping for this concept to burst.

[bettercrypto]

For those who believe in meme coins as community investors, there is a good chance that they will think that good things will happen to their meme coins holdings. Especially in the past year 2024, there were several meme coins that undeniably made a noise in the crypto space and even recently before the end of 2024, there were even more meme coins that were trending in the market.

So it depends on the investors if they believe positively. If the meme coins that we choose to invest in are right, then it is guaranteed that they will not become bubbles, but it is also possible that the majority of meme coins will also become bubbles in the end.

[jumail]

Memecoins are definitely becoming a bigger part of the crypto market. They’ve carved out their own niche with communities that stick around to support them — whether it’s investors or whales jumping in to back them, creating their own bubble and grabbing attention.

Just like any game, you can join and play it in the safest way possible. Understand the risks because most memecoins don’t really have any real utility — they’re just about fun. So, let’s enjoy the ride while it lasts!

[Adreman23]

Memecoins are always around, whether it's a bear or bull market. They add flavor to keep the crypto market active. The hype is there because some investors got lucky and became wealthy, so many others want to try their luck with memecoins. However, while some get rich, most end up losing, and this is something we need to understand before investing in meme coins. It's important to be aware of the risks and not invest more than you can afford to lose.

So, the big question is: 
❓ Are meme coins still worth investing in today? 
❓ Or is the era of meme coins officially dead?

You just said it in the beginning of this thread by mentioning some meme coins of some specific years; these coins did well then despite the crypto market citation and most investors that invested in the project made a lot of money because they took great risk and invested early in the projects.
Therefore, if you are good in altcoin investment, you will still find your way out because we are seeing projects going up daily despite the market conditions. The only thing that is important to note is the risk involved in the investment, but the higher your risk, the greater your return.

You have actually said what I wanted to hear, which is the higher the risk, the greater the return.
Then my question is are you willing to take such risk with your hard earned money?
Because by the look of things, investment in most of this meme coin are like gambling where the percentage of you ending up losing your money is like 50/50.
Though the gamblers will want to risk it, but I wouldn't do that because it's not a reliable investment too me since they aren't trustworthy as Bitcoin is.

Then lastly, if meme coin are actually dead? No they are not, they will always be there in the market, just as every other market where fake products are way more higher in quantity than the quality ones.
And you talk about those sets of investors that are still making it by investing in meme coin, yes, people are still making it, just that the percentage of those that are actually making it are just few, while the majority are losing money, so you see why it's more like gambling? That's what it is bro.

That's the truth about them.
But people love flashy news - the ones that win big allure those who lose even more.

[bitgolden]

I am not sure if we are going to see memes ever cease to exist, there aren't really any valid reasons for it to go away, I am not saying they are good investments but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with memes going away just because they are mostly not profitable. Of course it is going to be tough, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see them make profit neither.

Those are not connected to each other, 99.99% of meme projects fail, and only a few does well, and even in those few ones, only a couple are highly ranked, and yet people will keep it going because memes are mostly hype projects and what gets hyped isn't really based on logical arguments or reason, it's just hyped because it goes viral for a moment and nothing more. So we will see memes continue to exist and get funding and bought, while not making any profit.

could say that 90% of memes are rug, if it's not big chunk of FDV + big exchange listing, big fat chance it will rug, too many rugger these days that I have trust issue buying new meme coin anymore only sticking to the one that's already listed in big market despite big FDV already when it hits exchange, but at least I know that there's some effort has been undergone to see whether there's potential rug or not.

bought several meme last december with small capital on a meme with micro market cap, all of them went to zero literally .

Sounds true to their nature.
New memes => death of your depo in 95% of the cases.
Bigger memes => not a death, but not a 100x from them too. Sounds fair as the bigger the meme becomes, the less pushy it gets on the market too, which trades its potential for the stability of its price.

Hard earned money isnt something that you should really be that putting into this situation on the time that you do decide to invest with meme coins. Always be considerate into the money that you are spending on which this should really be that only into the amount on which you can afford to lose because if you do put your life savings with it, and on the time that your investment showing up some negative then you will be that becoming impulsive and might that causing up into further actions on which be might that worsen up the situation. This is why its recommended that you do really know on what you've been dealing into and on the things that you must do. Majority do make this as an investment on where they do risks too much.

If we do tend to look at on how popular meme coin is and into those people who had become rich with it, then you cant blame them on why they have such high interest towards it because of the possibilities or chances on which it could give out into a certain person. If we do tend to look up on the overall volume on which meme coin market is really that making on which it does really shows up that huge amount of volume on which indicates that there's soo much interest towards it. On the time or moment that you will be dealing up with memes then only invest on the amount on which you can afford to lose.

so far, there are still a lot of meme coins that have emerged, and are still surviving. this proves that meme coins are still being used to gain profit. although there are a lot of meme coins that have died, new ones will emerge. as long as it continues to generate huge profits, i think it will continue to exist.

Is like many people do not know that memecoins are even doing better than many of those projects that claimed to have good utility and features. People are now seeing hood reasons to  invest in memecoins because they are ones of the projects that have good tendency to skyrocket giving investors huge profits from their investments.

Memecoins are good to hold but their are bad ones that do not deserve any investment at all because they do not have good team, having the probability of end up in rug pull. We should be careful on what memecoins we should invest in because there are many people launching their own projects just to steal money from innocent investors that know nothing about the project. Everyone need to be wise this time around.
