Are early memecoins always profitable?

[o48o]

An Arbitrum-based Layer 2 network called Robinhood Chain recently was launched about a month ago. The ecosystem on that network has already begun to see widespread adoption by various projects. Memecoins have also started to appear in large numbers on that network under various names. But not all memecoins currently appear to be particularly profitable given that some are seeing their prices decline. I personally have spotted one memecoin that’s quite interesting to follow, where its price performance has been quite strong so far with gains that remain relatively high. This memecoin emerged early on around the time of the Robinhood Chain mainnet launch. Its name reportedly derives from the original name of the company that founded the project (Source).

I’d like to know, do you think investing in memecoins early on is always profitable? Or do you think history will repeat itself just like with some memecoins on other networks?

What kind of question is this? You have a sr.member account and you ask questions that could be from newb account.

If you really need help to figure that out, then answer is no, they are not. Reason is quite self-explanatory: There are countless tokens launched each day, and 99.999...% of them are going to zero.

And even if you got in early to something big, that doesn't guarantee you will make money, because you would need to enter when market cap is low enough so it has room to rise (if it ever rises).

The problem isn't investing early on memecoins but the problem is that the investor who bought early wouldn't want to sell when he sees a little pump in price and that's where he gets disappointed if the dev dump the coin.

That’s what’s some people don’t just understand, it’s not all about investing early, you might end up investing early, and at the end you still going to lose all your money. If you invest early, and you didn’t leave the market at the right time, you still going to lose your money, because they going to dump the coin on you.

Some people do invest in memecoins for long time but it’s completely rubbish to me. You should know that most of this memecoins are just pump and dump coins, so why planning to hold it for long time when you know they still going to dump the coin. Anyone investing in memecoins should know about the risk involved in it, so they are suppose to do that with just little amount of money.

I don’t even encourage anyone to invest in memecoin, because no matter how smart you are, you are likely going to lose your money at some point. The risk in memecoin investment is just high, and I won’t end up causing some health problems for myself just because I want to invest.

The best way to invest in memecoins is buy with the amount you can afford to lose and watch when the price increases a little sell it immediately, and forget about it because they're always short term projects.

Treating memecoins just the way they are is the best for you. If you want to beat around the bush with them and trying to make somthing meaningful out of them, you’ll be disappointed and regretted why you never sold early when you got that little profit from them.

I don’t see or anticipate any change in the future of memecoin, at least not for now but I don’t think there is no a possibility in the future. To protect your sanity and prepare profits, you just need to make sure that you treat them as the same, as the same old memecoins we use to know.

I don't trade memecoins. Just replying incase anyone find it useful. If you go by the logic of investing in all memecoins as early as possible because you think it is a profitable venture, you will get burnt, a lot. Memecoins have no inherent value and unless you are part of a cabal, know about one enough to know the next memecoins they will focus or just outright lucky, you will so much that the wins even if they are home runs won't offset your losses to any significant level.

Tbh, you are better off just buying equities or mid to high cap tokens will leverage or just lighting the money on fire rather than investing in memes. For full disclaimer, I don't recommend using leverage. Only included it for humor purposes.

Early memecoins can surely make you good money, but it is a gamble  some blow up, most fade away with time. Getting in early helps, but you are still betting on hype. Every new network has the same story. A few coins take off, the rest get buried. It is never a sure thing. The trick is knowing when to get out. You can't get attached to these coins. If you don't take profits early, you might end up holding nothing and keep wallowing in lost. People see the success stories and think it is easy, but for every winner, there are dozens of losers as well. It is just high risk and high reward and nothing more.

Although some tokens or memecoins that are bought early have potential of leading to a significant increase but it depends how viral they can become since they’re majorly inspired by some internet jokes or trends. I mostly see this memecoins as a joke coins which shouldn’t be taken too seriously because of the reason behind their existence . Memecoins just like every other crypto currency are really unpredictable, the fact that some memecoins have been able to generate significant profits for people who bought them at its early stage doesn’t mean that the rest will always be profitable. Their pump and dump nature have shown that they carries extremely high risk as their price also drops quickly and most becomes entirely useless.

Memecoin projects are all about gambling, and most of them depend on luck for someone make a profit from because they are very hard to be predicted, especially nowadays. Recently, I have seen a lot of memecoin projects that launch, and when they launch, the price pumps a little bit and then starts dumping immediately again. Some of them start dumping from the moment they launch and hardly recovered gains.Most of these memecoin developers have different agendas for their projects. We don't know their agenda for creating a particular project, but they always make it public as if it is for positive purposes, and they end up scamming people.

With how people are losing a lot of money in memecoins, I will not advise anyone to invest in memecoins unless they have already decided that they want to gamble on them. This means they will not risk too much on memecoins.Sometimes, there are people out there claiming that they are making thousands of dollars from memecoin investments, but to me, I feel most of those people making those kinds of profits are always among the project teams.

Catching a successful meme right after its launch is like winning the lottery. In other words, the chance that you’ll be able to buy a successful meme right after its launch and then make a profit is significantly lower than the chance of running into yet another rug pull token.
As for Solana, yes, most of the activity on this network revolves around memes, particularly on platforms like Pump Fun. But it’s worth noting that, from time to time, BSC sometimes outpaces Solana in this regard.

The lottery that you will have lost all your money before you maybe able to turn $5 to $200 and call it a win. If you are not part of the memecoin launchers, you stand no chance of winning anything from the coin. To tell you how worst a meme coins looks, a person can launch a meme coin and sell the next 2 minutes, if you buy such coin hoping that you are going to make something from it, you are likely going to lose more money in meme coins.

The successful meme coins I have seen are the ones that caught centralized exchanges attention. What they usually do is when they see a meme coin and notice the supply is not too concentrated on a single wallet, it's evenly distributed, they list it and once it caught the attention of traders, they pump it, makes the money they want which after the price is done, it dump but not as bad as it is if it's not traded on some centralized exchanges.

As far as it is a memecoin, there is no certainty on its future trajectory yet no matter of captivating and attractive the project looks in its early stages of lunch. Just treat them as another potential project that may fail along the way and they have no futuristic plan of staying for the long term in the market. This is not even about the blockchain, just treating all memecoins as the same. Only invest what you can afford to lose and when you get to hit a profit, try quickly to take profit and exit your holdings on such trades.

There is ABSOLUTELY a known trajectory if we are talking about a memecoin. The first week is unknown; maybe it will go up, maybe it will crash. Most of them do crash. But the rest is known; unless you are talking about Dogecoin, then all others will crash, and a brand new one?

When was the last time a memecoin survived for a year without crashing 90%+? I can tell you, it was in the 2021 bull run; they hung that high because of the bull run and made some people very rich and kudos to those people who took that silly risk but still got away richer. But when we are talking about something more, then there is no reason why we should be considering them as better, because they are definitely not.

We need to realise that this is not going to be profitable for anyone, and it is not going to work well for them in the end. We should consider how this could be something that could be risky, but you need to also realise that this is not going to make you any richer if you just focus on memecoins. Memecoins do not survive; it is known that none of them did; only Doge did, which is basically not even a memecoin anymore, but ALL other coins dropped after release, and after a year most of them are fully gone.

I have never had a long-term view of memecoin, regardless of how qualified they are in building ecosystems and products because when the project claims to be an automated memecoin my view is it's just a matter of being ready to go early. Neither the early generation nor the current generation of memecoin provide much benefit when you enter with long-term investment goals.

I don’t think anyone will have the right answer to that question. We have all had different experiences when it comes to Memecoins. There was one I invested in years ago, it was very early when I invested, but it never succeeded the money I invested went down to zero and it has remained like that since then. So if I’m to answer you according to my experience, you might think that investing early is not always profitable. Whereas there are others who got lucky when they invested early and they saw profits.
If such people are advising you they will say investing early brings profit. You eventually find out, that our lucks are different, so just do whatever your mind tell you to do when it comes to investing in memecoins. There’s no manual that guarantees success in memecoins investment.

[NodeMystic]

Most memecoins are not profitable, because they make fake profiles, the coin supply is high, and they try to create hype so that some people buy the coin. When they launch their coin and it is full of hype, then team members sell all their coins and get out of the platform. Sometimes they alert people that the coins are highly volatile, your money is at risk, and it is not refundable. Slowly the coin is going to be delisted. New people lose their money. So be alert about memecoins.

I understand that buying in early to a memecoin isn't guaranteed to yield profits. Those who enter early stand to gain more. But there's also big volatility and a risk that most new memecoins won't keep the volume and attention. Each and every new network tends to bring about plenty of projects while really few of them manage to survive and develop a great community. The worst error is to get addicted to a coin simply because it had a good start. It's better to be right than early to take profits. The people typically see the successful 10x and 100x coins. But they are oblivious to all the other coins that have fallen by the wayside. As far as I'm concerned. Early memecoins are opportunities. Not a guaranteed profit.

Around the last part of 2024, the total market capitalization of the market had reached around 150.5B, but since it has been in the direction of dumping.

Overall, it can be said that the idea that buying meme coins will make profit is wrong because there is no guarantee of this.

In my personal view:
The main mistake is thinking “early = safe”.

Early entry can give you more upside but at the same time liquidity is low, insider allocation is higher, bot/sniper competition and the risk of rugpull are also at the highest.

So, If someone wants to make a speculative investment in meme coins, I would consider the question “Under what situation will I understand that my thesis is wrong?” more important than “Which one should I buy first?”

I agree with you, most of the memecoin enthusiasts mine memecoins with the aim to dump it immediately as it lists, that's one of the reason I don't see future in most of this memecoin projects. And the funny thing is if you try to take advantage of the the early instant dump, some do list at a terrible price, I remember even investing my time and resources on one memecoin highly recommended by a friend and ended up getting disappointed because of the listing price

The interesting thing with your point is that there is another important point, which is that at the beginning they enter a short to take advantage of the immediate dumping but most of the time it is seen that instead of profit the amount of loss is more.

In the case of investment, you should never invest in any coin recommended by a friend because there is a higher chance of facing disappointment.

[Jostle]

The memecoin must first gain traction and publicity. It's very difficult to do so. But if you get it, then the later-investors will pay-off the early investors.

This is exactly why no memecoin will ever do great, because nobody really wants to hold any of them. There hasn't been a second memecoin in the world that people were willing to hold for a year, only Dogecoin. Every other coin in the world got sold right away. So if memecoins are there for you to buy and then sell.

This is why you are not going to see a lot of problems whenever there are some issues, and we should not be really considering how this could be something that we could benefit from because if people are only doing it to sell, then it will always crash. Nothing that people do not want to hold could end up with some profits; it would never be profitable, because there are no buyers or hodlers, only sellers.

[Orpichukwu]

Now cryptocurrency market falls and it is very difficut time for all meme coins.
It is necessary to remeber that investing in meme coins is very risky even when market rise.
Meme coins are like a hype and they in force only for short period of time then their price falls to zero.

Even in the short period of time they are risky to hold, memecoins can be acquired, and the volume can vanish in a matter of minutes, not even days or weeks. Someone said getting involved in memecoins is the same thing as someone who is gambling; worse, it’s also highly related to Russian roulette. You can never tell when luck will hit your side or when you will become unlucky and that’s the end of it.
