some solid project with solid team like manta is also going to zero same thing with memes, so solid project isn't guarantee that the price gonna shoot up anyway.
regardless if we just stick with BTC, ETH, some of the lesser market valued coin such as SOL and BNB, I think it's gonna be better if we really try to avoid some coin that can goes to zero.
but indeed, a meme coin could definitely go to zero faster than any other, even maybe in just 12 hours it can go to zero already, such thing happened quite frequently in birdeye and dexscreener just look it up LOL .
