Failure of meme coin this past years

[palle11]

The current rise of meme coins isn't surprising; on the contrary, crypto exchanges are becoming saturated because meme coins no longer attract many investors. Investors are likely more attracted to mainstream Bitcoin coins, such as seasonal meme coins, which no longer attract as many investors as when they first launched, and many investors are likely exiting due to significant losses.

The last bull run for altcoins that happened around 2016 or thereabout was what led to the rise of meme coin because they were very cheap and did a lot of return to those who invested in them and since then their awareness have increased because of their cheap price and the purpose they achieve for some, that's quick money. But while chasing this quick money, it is also dangerous as you can be trapped in it when the whale hodlers dump on you or pull the rug of your fit. The bitter truth is that many investors have learnt a lesson with meme coins. Buttom line is memecoin is not for long-term hodling, they are pump and dump. So if you are hodling memecoins, be ready to dump when the price increase otherwise, they will keep decreasing in your wallet. It is not an all round seasonal coins, they pump and might die afterwards but bitcoin will gain back what has been lost.

Meme coins are just a place for fraud, a place for speculation and a place to gamble on a coin, the previous meme hype was too big, attracting a lot of liquidity, which should have gone into the space of more productive and innovative projects instead went into coins that had no value in the fundamentals, this is what makes the market as a whole hollow, both from the ecosystem and also slow growth because people no longer want to enter and do not have money, this time the market needs new money to boost.

The memecoin hype is over and will be no more, even Trump himself in my opinion is taking a big advantage of his meme tokens.

These days, almost all scammers often use meme coins to scam the crypto community. That’s because it’s cheap for them to create them in exchange for the millions of dollars they can collect from their victims here in the crypto space.

On top of that, even though the veterans in this crypto space have warned many times, there are still many stubborn people who don’t know how to listen or be convinced by what they hear
in the news. That’s why only a few are able to take proper precautions when it comes to investing here.

If a meme coin can adapt add utility, improve transparency, maybe even get a regulated listing like BONK’s Swiss ETP it might survive the shake‑out. Otherwise, it’s likely to join the graveyard of the millions that never made it past the meme stage.

What every coin needs to survive is utility and almost all memecoins don't have it that is the reason they crash in little time. When we say memecoins are no good doesn't make all t be bad, but the multitude of memecoins are worthless and better advised to avoid than trying to see what comes out. Anybody to invest in memecoins should consider their investment at risk, there is a greater possibility of losing everything than gaining a few cents on their investment. Memecoins are worse than every other altcoins, extreme risk measure is needed before venturing.

Meme coins in my view are just wastage of money and must be avoided. People invest in meme coins with intention of getting rich with little money and that's how meme coins generate money. For investment and trading, our first and foremost choice must be bitcoins and in case of alts only solid alts with good market cap must be selected. We have seen how useless investing in meme coin is, prime example is The Trump coin launched in Jan 2025.

I blame anyone who invest big money in Memecoins for whatever loss he incurs because he failed to understand that memecoins are just for fun and not for serious financial investment. Memecoins can be liken to gambling for fun, and ought to be done strictly with inconsequential amount of funds. We cannot really say that memecoins failed in actual sense because they were built as memes which should thrive on hype and fun and not for serious financial investment like people do and end up losing money.

I agree, memecoins are terrible ways of wasting money and there is no need to invest into them and for some reason they still get a lot of attention, no idea why. I think it's clear that we are going to get a lot of bad results with time if we just invest into memecoins and we should be avoiding that at all costs. There are so many great coins at higher ranks, like top 10 or top 20 that you can invest into. Find one that is not a memecoin and possibly have a good utility that makes people buy it.

In the near past, there have been many projects booming arround every couple of days. Projects are lunched from every kind and memecoins were one of its kind between money others. Today the number of projects lunching their own tokens dropped and exchange platforms have limited options to get the listing process continue but to follow with cryptocurrencies who still survive. Memetokens are still there and exchange platforms who control the stream

Even though I made a little profit on this Trump coin but I agree that memecoin is a bad thing if you don't know how to execute it and that's why there are so many people who gamble on the narrative on memecoin, this is a real crypto casino to earn money with little money, but the fever I see subsides as time goes by, people are already thinking more advanced like that.

Altcoins are the same, but if you only look at capitalization, that's dangerous too, because something bad could happen to them, it's better to have a deeper analysis of the project and the people behind it.

We did not expect much from most of the memecoins that were launched this is because a lot have not user case and not existing product that can provide volume to keep the coin relevant in the market, that is the reason you see a lot of the memecions pumping so much and dipping without recovering again, this is the sad reality we face in the memecoins market we have to accept that memecions trading is high risk gambling.

These memecoins are only feeding off new investors who hasn't known their tricks how they really works, the reasons how entirely how crypto works too as well, the weak that panic  sells to the strong that stays. It's absolutely true that the best way to avoid the risk of trading memecoins is buying very early or been the dev, as well as the owner.

What ever makes a trader to buy late is a risky trading that will never end well.

Even the early buyers have to be extremely lucky to profits from those memecoins, since most of them get sold to hype at the sale stage and when the coin gets listed it never reach the sale price before the whole crash happens, so the dev are the ones milking investors, and for only a few lucky investors profits from their investments most times.

Just think of it that most of the memes have no utility at all. Even if it gets a huge hype from the platforms and the community of it, it will remain as a meme. And later on, that's where things are going to change from its development. The devs are going to be stagnant and if they're able to make some money out of it, the development won't happen anymore because even them, they understand what the market needs and these coins if made just a memecoin, they'll be ending it with a memecoin as well. What utility they need? as a payment? as a rewards, etc? we already have got a bunch of those coins that have the same utility as them.

They just have nothing to offer, because once the hypes around them is taken off, they will just die off the market, and since it's quite easy to develop, we shouldn't be surprised to see more of it coming into the market in years to come, but the big question is, will those investor that loves gambling on them stay away?
If they shows less interest in it unlike years back that high interest was shown on them, the rate at which these meme coin are entering the market will drastically reduce, because in my own opinion, I think that these developers are the same people, once they are done with this coin, they move on to the next, the earlier some investor understand that the better.

Shift to utility!
 Even some of the surviving meme coins are trying to add real use cases (e.g., ShibaSynth’s synthetic assets, PepeDAO’s governance model) to stay relevant The market is rewarding those that can move beyond a catchy name.

The shift utility strategy seems to be a failure. Never once I see a meme coin shifting its utility and become even bigger than before. Most of them just experience slow death. Seems like the team can't figure out that the sole existence of their coin and why it can be valued so high is because people is finding tool to speculate.

One good example is Shiba Inu with its Shibarium ecosytem.



There's only 1.5 million TVL on chain a 24h volume of 13k on their DEX, I bet the revenue generated can't even cover the cost to run the DEX infrastructures. Yet their coin still traded at 4.3B FDV and have daily volume of 200m.
Honestly every meme coin should never shift to adding utility. It just doesn't work at all.

Not all meme coins are useless. There are a few coins that can be profitable for traders in the short term. You should be patient if you want to trade because you should also remember that you will not always get the opportunity to make a profit. Trading is about waiting for an opportunity. You should try to keep the supply of funds available for trading at a reliable level because meme coins are risky. Just as there is a possibility of making high profits, there is also a possibility of losing money.

[JeffBrad12]

People overthink about why meme coins are failing while the problem is right in front of them. The rug pull is too frequent in there, it's almost 95% is rug pull.
Currently there is ongoing lawsuit on MEV scandal with meme coin launchpad platform in solana. If you're curious why meme coins are failing, you should try to look at those documents published and how the lawsuit is going. Only then you will know the real reason.

[execijutiere]

Meme coins are, in my opinion, indispensable in this market. Why do I think so? Because there is a narrative in the market where you can easily achieve 100x or more. For example, if you invest £100 in a meme coin, there is a high chance that it will be worth £1,000 tomorrow and £10,000 a week later. It would be unusual for any other project to experience such a surge in one week because they have a high market cap. The reason meme coins have a high X ratio is because they are caught with a low market cap.

Meme coin created to extract money from retails and its done ! just utility will win eventually !

If you calculate how likely it is for someone to make a profit and how likely it is to lose money it really doesn't make sense in meme coins, I'm not denying that it can make a profit but you also have to be open that most of the meme coins are fraudulent coins, don't you play up to the chain-chain to watch meme coins being created every day? just try to search like the main Solana network, BNB, ETH and others, there is no hope there unless you are lucky, and it's more like gambling when the devs don't take your money there.
