Meme coins dominates but ruined many people too, I haven't seen anything that's closer to ponzi scheme in this crypto space than those of meme coins, just get in before others and you will be fine if you take profits early, one day your money is doing fine and the next day it's all gone.
I can say that meme coins are like a ponzi scheme although it is not always like that. Anyone who manages to get a legit meme coin will get a profit of up to 100x when it is listed on the exchange. But I also disagree with you because not all meme coins work like that. Some legit meme coins take a few years before getting big profits. This is like the Doge, Shiba and Pepe projects that make investors get profits of up to 100,000% after a few years.
The same can be said about new projects with utility, especially the part about waiting years for them to shine through Memes just spark and die out faster, usually.
