Are meme coins still worth holding in 2025?

[gunhell16]

There are still some meme coins that are worth investing in today, but it depends on the investors themselves to decide which ones are truly worth it to invest in
and can provide a profit in the future.

As for me, I'm still holding the same meme coin because I have a set timeframe before I sell it. Once my target price is hit,
that will be the sign for me to finally sell.

The newbies should be conscious about investing on memecoins when they are not confident enough to know each coin to invest in and the ones to avoid. Investing in memecoins is like gambling on what the outcome of a bet will look like whether a win or a lose.

People investing in memecoins are gamblers that know that if the coin becomes a profitable one, they are at the winning side and when it becomes a lose, they're at the losing part.  Investing with what you can afford is better so if it turn out to be a rug pull then the pain can be swallowed but if it becomes a profitable, that can be celebrated.

Memecoins, at the end, would cost so much, and the investor knows the whole funds might go down the hill unapologetically. No support to hold, no admin whatsoever or public figure kind of CEO. Memecoins are too random to be invested on, and testing waters with all forms of memecoins in the market hoping to be lucky can be expensive. The newbie is better off with altcoins than memecoins, that depends on hype alone.

Hello everyone,

I'm still new to crypto and Bitcointalk, but I’ve been observing how meme coins like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and others have evolved over time. With many new altcoins launching every day, I’m wondering — are meme coins still worth holding in 2025, or is their hype finally fading?

Meme coin is not for holding. it can be just for short time investment. You have to follow whether there is a person who is excited about a meme coin and is investing in it who has a good reputation worldwide and is known by everyone. For example, Trump's coin was Office Trump, Elon Musk is supporting and investing in Doge and Shib. If you can invest early in these hypes, you can make good profits from them quickly, but no meme coin can maintain the hype for a long time. You think when there was a lot of hype about Doge, the price of Doge hit above $0.7, but what is its price now? All memes pump a lot during the hype and then gradually decrease. So Meme coins are never good for holding.

Investing in memecoins is mere gambling because most investors do this and wait if they would be fortunate allowing the project to go up so they can make profits and when it doesn't go up or crash they admit their loses and move to the next memecoins that will make them profits. This is why investors need to be wise and take crucial decisions when investing in the altcoins market. There is a lot of profits to make if we are fortunate enough to do research that will lead to investing in good memecoins that will lead to profitability.

Meme coins in 2025 are more risky than ever. Some still pump hard when hype kicks in but most don’t have lasting value. If you’re holding it’s really just gambling, fun if you can afford to lose but dangerous if you treat it like a real investment. A few coins with strong communities might survive but the majority fade out. Worth holding? Only if you’re in for the ride and & banking on serious returns.

The thing is that nobody knows the coin that will survived, that is why you see some people holding different kind of meme coin they feel like holding because they don't know the particular one that will make them to be rich,everything about meme coins is like luck, if you are lucky the meme coin that you invest on, or you are holding survived that is the only way that you can make a profit from unknown coin

But the thing is that there is no assurance when you invest on unknown coins that you are going to make a profit that is one of disadvantages many investors consider that makes them or put fear for them to invest on meme coin, it's only people who have the mindset to invest.

I think invest memes that are just in top20 of market

Often, introducing more meme coins will not stop meme coins to be appreciated, it will always be like that if you know how people think. The only issue is that almost all of them will be useless, as we know, but the top-rated ones, and some of the old and new ones that are not top-rated will surely be earning investors money.

For instance, $Brett is not even listed by Binance, yet it has helped many to earn a decent income this year alone. It all about the right choice of meme coins, the good ones will not fade away, especially those with a huge community.

Almost all? I mean I have never seen a useful memecoin in my life, even doge became useless after a while. Early days it was for like sponsoring Jamaican bobsled team type of thing, and even charity, we did so much, I gave out 5k doge which was nothing, now it's a bit money lol, still not a lot to some of course just to me.

First, I commend you for donating Dogecoin to a charity course. I implore you to do more in the future. I love philanthropists.

However, it's a misrepresentation to say Dogecoin is useless, you would still find many outlets accepting Dogecoin as a payment means for deposits/withdrawals, amidst other uses. Even traditional brokers accept it, not to mention many casinos/sportsbooks and other outlets. That alone, you are not fair to call it "useless."

Besides, in every 4-cycle of cryptocurrency, Dogecoin investors still make more than 10x of their investments. It is all about strategic and smart investment. Let alone its high trading volume. Should we call that useless? Dogecoin and other valuable coins/tokens must not necessarily be at the "rooftop" before they are valuable/useful.

You know the famous analogy of people who bought Bitcoin in 2010, at a much lesser price, is dragging newbies and potential investors into the conclusion of purchasing memecoins at 0.00101 hoping it'll skyrocket and they'll make a kill. Developers go ahead to add juice to it by pumping on social media to validate the thoughts of naive investors and lure them into losing whooping amount of money.

The whole shilling a shitcoin with "imagine if it's just only 1 dollars, bitcoin is over 100k+ dollars, we just need this one to reach 1 dollars and we all will be super wealthy!!!" is such a lame trick that I do not even pity the people who fall for it. Dude you are buying a shitcoin, if it reaches 1 dollar each, the marketcap would be bigger than entire USA economy, so you can be sure that it's not going to be anywhere near that level.

And yet, somehow, some people out there, look at something that is less than a cent, and imagine a world where it reaches a dollar, and gets their a thousand dollars become a billion dollars or something, and they hope it happens, without using mathematics at all. This is failure of our education system.

Snip.

But the thing is that there is no assurance when you invest on unknown coins that you are going to make a profit that is one of disadvantages many investors consider that makes them or put fear for them to invest on meme coin, it's only people who have the mindset to invest.

Ultimately why I don't give it much of a second thought with memecoins they're purely gamble and that's not what or where I want to spread in my hard earned money around on. Spreading your funds where you're not sure if there's going to be of any success but it's just about holding and hoping onto chance.  It would be better I pack all that whooping funds into an asset like bitcoin where value is sure and profits on the long run is certain.

Would love to hear from both OG holders and new traders.

Thanks in advance!

The success ratio of memecoin is very low, only a few coins are in good condition, all the other coins are now almost worthless. So investing in memecoin is very risky. OG investors in Doge, SHIBA have definitely been able to profit if they can hold them. But even if they can make early investments, most investors cannot hold them. Because no one has much confidence in memecoin that they can survive in the market for a long time. So I do not favor holding any memecoin. Doge is the only coin that can be trusted to some extent, all the rest are shit coins.

Memecoins are not recommended for fresh investors who have not understood the risks attached to coins with no usecase. Don't go for it, not that it's not worth it, no, some of the memecoins pump and dump, and few traders get really lucky and make a lot from such shifts. But, be sure that it's on a very rare occasion, many of them are trash and won't yield anything in return. It's a gamble.

Not that fresh investors will not make profit from memecoins investment but it will take them long time before they will understand how old memecoin investors make little profit from memecoin. You can divide your capital to invest half on memecoin that is already favouring investors, and invest the remaining capital on BTC investment and watch what will happen in the future, because there are some condition you will find yourself you will not sell your BTC than to sell your memecoins to have some money to finance other things.

Hodling potential memecoins will make you to enjoy memecoin investment, because they always pump whenever BTC is pumping to create awareness to investors and memecoin investors to get ready to a particular season that is about to hit the market.

Meme coins was  never meant to be hold for long term, rather when you buy them and they pump you sell them and take profits, because if you buy them and hold them for long without selling when they rise and they dump all your money is gone. Meme coins are not like bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies they pump and dump projects so be wise and sell when they rise to avoid stories that touches the heart. And In case you are looking for a coin that you will hold for long term you buy bitcoin consistently until you accumulate a good portion of it and hold for long term four to ten years or longer in other to make reasonable profit in return.

What about Doge? If I remember correctly Doge was created in 2013 and is currently one of the top 10 coins in the market. This shows that it is even more reliable than many other potential altcoins.

Or we can also mention Shiba or Floki, both of which are memecoins created in the previous cycle but survived the harshest bear season (2022), and are still alive and thriving today. Especially Floki is creating their own ecosystem, their own app as they just launched their game Valhalla which took them 3 years to build.

Most memes aren't designed to be held long term but like altcoins, not all of them are scams, useless or will disappear anytime soon. Some of them are also worth considering for long-term holding rather than altcoins

Well there is a new 'rug pull' from a meme coin scammer. The scammer did a fake CR7 meme coin that did scam investors $147 in only 15 minutes.
It was a pump and dump scheme. And it because of the new memes like that I do not hodl in any new meme coins.
https://coincentral.com/fake-cristiano-ronaldo-cr7-crypto-scams-investors-out-of-143-million-in-15-minutes/

I've seen the CR7 meme token in trending sites and elsewhere. Creating meme tokens with famous people's names and then pumping and dumping them has become a trend. People are losing thousands of dollars due to such manipulations. We say free markets are good, but some regulation is needed. Some people continue to get rich very easily.

There are still some meme coins that are worth investing in today, but it depends on the investors themselves to decide which ones are truly worth it to invest in
and can provide a profit in the future.

As for me, I'm still holding the same meme coin because I have a set timeframe before I sell it. Once my target price is hit,
that will be the sign for me to finally sell.

at the end of the day! it just comes down to discipline and having a clear plan. a lot of people rush into meme coins hoping for quick and easy profits, but without a clear target they usually end up holding too long or selling too early which can be very annoying. If you already set a timeframe and a price target then you are going to be treating it more like an actual strategy instead of just gambling on the hype. some meme coins will fade away as time pass by, but others with strong communities and visible utility can still surprise us. the key is knowing when to exit and not letting emotions get in the way.

There are absolutely no memecoins that worth investing into at all, that's not true. Not doge, not shiba, not anything. Memecoins are just another name of shitcoins and you have to realize that, nothing can change that. I understand it may not be something you like hearing, but that is the truth and as long as you have that, you are not going to get any better.

If you keep thinking that you may make some money from memecoins then you are going to end up with a loss. It's true that you are not going to get any good returns at the moment from any memecoin ever. The best you can do is find something more serious, something that is not based on some online joke, that would make you make some profit at least or at least have a higher chance.

Stop lumping in Doge as a meme.  the lack of understanding of this about doge is very frustrating .

Doge+LTC is a mined coin the scrypt algorithm  it is the second largest pow algorithm.

If you can mine doge and turn a profit doing it you should do that.

I mine 13 dollars in doge a day or about $390 a month I pay $220 in power.  The gear is paid off.

So I gain $170 worth of doge monthly once I pay the power. this is about170/.22=772.727

I hodl that 772 doge so every year I gain. 772x12=9,264

9,264 doge a year it is all profit. I have about 23,000 in doge all profit.

Since it is all profit I can hodl it as long as I want.

My goal it to hodl it for years.

[finaleshot2016]

I don't commit to memecoins, they go down really fast.

If you really want a memecoins and obsessed with it, try to find some that has NFTs or utility, those are good but for a runner, I really suggest investing on blue chip nowadays. If you want long term hodl, find good altcoins but for a day trading, memecoins are way to go to profit or sometimes to lose money.

[HawkTrader]

Memecoins are not worth holding but they can be source of high ROI in trading when spotted early. These days, I prefer trading them away from dex where you can't spot a potential rug.

Most cexs now focus on bringing these memecoins to their users without going onchain. Some even have trading comps & challenge to reward traders. I remembered winning upto 210 BGB in a few of the challenge.

Meme coin can make you rich in one night but it also can make you poor within hours that because the volatility of the prices is more danger than bitcoin and about Doge and Shiba Inu i still remember that some people can earn decent profit by holding these coins even several years ago i have heard the stories that some traders can became an the millionare by holding Shiba Inu

About the future of these coins i highly doubt they can able to bounce back again especially big investors didn't believe to them and invest at these coin anymore so my advices to you is simple if want to invest on meme coin i think you should looking for new projects which potentially can grow fast but do not hold meme coin for long term and just make them for trading purposes
