These are how most of the altcoins are and you just have to be careful while looking for one to invest into. They are very manipulative and when you don’t pick the right ones, you’ll regret ever investing in them while been rugged off your money you’ve invested into it.
Altcoins are even better because there are a lot of altcoins that will give you a lot of reputation, and there is no need to be scared of investing in them, but when it comes to memes, just like the names, the majority are just a joke, and even with research, what matters is the success of the coin, so there are a lot of contradictions when it comes to investing in memes. It's a high-risk business, just like you lose and you win.
Memecoins are mostly going to be like this, when you miss the first pump, you just have to forget about it because there is an high possibility that the market will not be in their favour again and those that got the first pump would have already taking profits leaving the project to just die.
And the moment that first pump is gone, then there is nothing else anyone can do about it because when you look at the market, how many memes have you see seen that have survived after the first pump? They move to the next one. Meme is another tactical business to do when you know how to do it, most are under the Solana chain.
