Reason not to trade memes coin

[I_Anime]

Most of us lacks the ability to be patient we just want to make it real fast (looking for 10X overnight ) . The truth is the greater the reward the greater the risk too . Many will be like bitcoin is to slow and stuff , or the price is too expensive, funny how you can start buying bitcoin with any amount you have not necessary it must be one BTC and above. Even bitcoin is not risk free though but the risk can be easily managed compared to those shitcoins.

Some of the reason not to trade or hold shitcoins are :
 
• No fundamentals value : just driven entirely by hype , trends and social media attention
•Extreme volatility
•Hype and manipulation
•Rugpull and scam risk

Th reason I created the trend was because of coin that came weeks or days back , name $VWA which many people believed that was predicted by Simpsons ( cartoon show ) that is going to hit $2 , which literally fuel the hype that made a lot of folk invested in it , some influencer posted it in their social just to lure those who have the mindset of seeing cryptocurrency as a get risk quick scheme. But at they all endup rug-pulled  by the coin $VWA.

$VWA price now

This is the first instance I've seen of a Simpsons prediction failing. I'm honestly surprised that people were naive enough to invest in such a token. Perhaps they didn't view the entire prediction segment.

It's well known that many individuals prefer to follow trends. The downfall for many crypto investors and traders is their poor grasp of fundamentals. Not all tokens warrant investment or trading. But, this seems irrelevant now. As long as there is significant hype, people will continue to participate.

I am truly surprised that Many crypto folks still fall for stuff like this. Like basically  with the looks of it you can tell this is actually a pump and dump scheme wait Is it that apart from this Bitcoin forum there are no other forums or websites or social media that teaches people or crypto enthusiasts how to know A shit coin?   Because most times times  when I see something like this I am very disappointed...
If I may say this really shows  how hype and FOMO  can easily be used to manipulate those who aren't  aware of how scammers  work because they are after quick money  and this $vwa scheme is just the right trap. That's  why it's easy to say projects like this have no real value  and the only people who benefit from it are thoose  who are in charge...That's why as an investor or a trader  you should always know how to identify shit coins because I believe the way  you manage the market risks as an investor or as a trader is more easier than managing one's greed. That's just it...

The Mr Simpson show prediction has been an instrument used many times for people who wants to create their own conspiracy theory or sell something.
The Mr Simpson story can only cause the coin to trend and that can build up the price with the momentum created by Mr Simpson supposed prediction about the coin.

Why you should not trade meme coin or altcoin is that when what caused that momentum withers the hype goes down and the coin falls.

[Alone055]

That's actually not a rugpull, it's just a sharp drop, which is very common in shitcoins and meme coins, and this isn't the only reason why people shouldn't invest more than they can afford to lose in meme coins, but they should know that meme coins live on hype, as long as they are being hyped, they will keep gaining value, but as soon as the hypes starts fading away, their value starts getting stagnant at first, and then starts dropping and what's worst is that these coins or tokens barely manage to gain their value back over time, even if you wait for years, you won't even get the return of your investment.

You're right, people have become greedy, and they want to get rich as quickly as possible, and that's the reason why they are always looking for opportunities that can help them achieve this goal, and scammers and con artists utilize this opportunity and create projects and tokens that have no use case or anything, and they spend some money to create some hype, and the rest is left on the early investors because those who invest early tend to promote those coins as well with the hope that they might become famous and then they will make a lot of money from them.

I wonder how many people who fall for this scam token bought other tokens in the past and got burned, too. Some people really need to get burned multiple times before they learned their lesson, or maybe they don't want to and hope that their next buy will recover all their losses. This is definitely a self-fulfilling prophecy gone wrong. There's no way someone thinks a cartoon prediction will always be right. Then again, the market is an emotional space to begin with.

[Floxynice]

Meme coins should be reserved for experienced traders alone because they've stayed long in the system and understand memecoins better. They know that memecoins ride with hype so, they are the best people to know when to exit the market before the hype dies.

This is unlike newbies who are still very new to the system and cannot detect when exactly to enter and exit the market to avoid incurring huge losses. Newbies should have no business trading or investing in memecoins. For starters, bitcoin is better because it is less volatile compared to memecoins, although it might not give that much profit in a short while compared to memecoins. Newbies at their level should focus on how to effectively manage risks than strive to make huge profits.

[Mrbluntzy]

That's why experienced crypto experts would say that altcoins investment is similar to gambling because all these memecoins in the market are just survive by hype, there is even no true survival, it gets hyped so that many vulnerable newbies and unsmart investors can buy and when the price is being manipulated to pump, some lucky ones will take profit while the dump will take out all the newbies funds. This play of gambling is only for smart people and people who are willing to accept the lose.

[fullfitlarry]

I would say that meme coins are not for everyone.

Sure there are many who makes a lot of money out of it and that's why meme coins are still alive today. If there are no traders then it could simply died down already. But no, even in 2025 they are pumping and making money.

But the thing is that they are very dangerous, it's very hard to handle and obviously can be manipulated very easy. So it's better to just stay from it if you don't have that experience.

[bhadz]

The influencers are the ones that keeps on pushing this to their fans. They try to find many of these memecoins but it could be a coordinated effort with whomever are the developers of these memecoins for them to be fed to the ignorant fans that they have. All they show are the wins that they make but if it's the losses that they're having, they're going to keep it hidden for them to be looked too impressive with the gains that they make. Anyway, if there are real traders that make a lot of money from these memecoins, that's good for them. But everyone needs to remember that it's not for all, if it doesn't fit their trading style yet they better choose to be an investor.

I honestly can't believe that the whole Simpsons prediction talk was an actual excuse for people to buy this memecoin. People just want to center their excuses around things that don't hold valid reasons. That image was obviously edited, yet the supposed memecoin managed to attract so much attention because of how it was promoted and how desperate many people were not to miss out.

Well, the story is not that different from other stories of memecoins that have existed for a short while. They were rugged pulled, so I'm not surprised. I'm only surprised at how people still lack the interest to do their own diligence or act skeptical in matter like this.

Investing in a random memecoin because it was mentioned in a cartoon is very funny. A lot of people are unbelievable.

If anyone is saying that Bitcoin investment is too slow that it is good for them to invest in shitcoins then the Person doesn't know what is bitcoin and what is shitcoin or meme coin or whatever name they called them. No altcoin move faster as bitcoin and all those altcoins follow the movement of bitcoin so if they think investing in them is much more better than Bitcoin then that is the biggest mistake they would have made. Investing in bitcoin is the best and nothing more.

So you are telling me that people bought a shitcoin because of Mr Simpsons prediction. Like what the hell is that, well this will serve as a good lesson to them that it is not everything that you jump into regardless of hype. There is no good value that shitcoins offer, their basic job is just for pump and dump backed by it's community hype.

I wonder how many people who fall for this scam token bought other tokens in the past and got burned, too.

Just a question about meme coins in general, what is the basis of its price? Given that it is a "meme coin", does it follow that its price highly depends on its reputation? For example, if a person finds "simpsons coin" funny and they bought it, is that the only factor for its price to increase?

I have personally HODL some shitcoins in the past and majority of its price dropped 60% after a while. Well probably you can also attribute it to my carelessness and irresponsibility for not keeping track of its progress but that was my experience regarding these coins.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Memecoins can be all of a sudden surprising to us, because they are believed to be pump and dump projects, so if am to go into them I will only select few and also while making my trades, I will also set a stop loss limit order on it, this is for the benefits of what OP illustrated in the chart for a pump and dump effect that could easily liquidate my trading capital if they are not being set up.

[mindrust]

Doge is the only memecoin I am interested in. The rest are not even memecoins. They are just shitcoins. Doge is too a shitcoin but it is also a memecoin, to me, the only one. The others are scams. Maybe doge is also a scam but at least it is the original one. Would I hodl it? Yes but no more than 1%. Would I trade it? Hell yeah. As long as Elon creates more memes, tweets about doge etc, doge will always do those crazy moves in the markets and offer great volatility to the traders.

[Akbarkoe]

To be clear, there are many scammers in memes, 99% of coin memes are scams, the manipulation by the developers is real, they do pom-poms to chase the hype of increasing prices and then the owners sell all the tokens they have when the buyers are in and ultimately worthless.

To this day there are still people trading meme coins? It's really great if they are still doing it, I just hope their life is calm. 

[retreat]

Many people invest their money in memecoins, and we know their goal is simply to make a quick profit without considering the project's fundamentals. They usually buy memecoins based on information they receive on Telegram or other groups that often slander memecoin projects. But all of this is very risky, as the price of memecoins can drop dramatically overnight, either because the creators run away and rug pull, or because a few large holders sell all their memecoins.

The only true investment is Bitcoin. Anything else is highly risky.

[crypto_poon]

its 100/100 a scam and when it isnt (the system (whatever layer it is) is in it)

remember all these fees and burns and losses etc

while the system allows the players to open table in the casino
the system itself sometimes also open table in the casino

and what it does is that the casino makes money which then enriches the system (all the lost system/ casino native tokens/coins)

so everyone is in it together to max extract from the retailers for their own gain.

and you wonder why the system token's price is going up, when sentiments doesnt make sense.

i hope now it does.

Haha, that's just a prediction and predictions told aren't meant to come into reality. And if it happens, it means that the author of it is genius. But based on the image, does it mean that it really came from the series? because many of these memes have been fan made. And the obviousness there is that image is prediction XRP at $100 which is I am having a hard time that it's unlikely to happen, just check how much it has got with its supply.
