I'm already done investing with meme coins. I had 8 and only 1 of them that I made at least x3 profit.
At least, you got the experience that meme coins aren't good coins to invest in. From 8 meme coins you ever had, only 1 can gain profits, it is a valid reason why meme coins aren't recommended. Previously, I also have some meme coins, I sold them too early because the price increased after I sold the coins. I am also not lucky with meme coins, so I prefer to buy top altcoins now.
I know that others are happy with the gains of DOGE and SHIBA, but they're not good in the long run
They know well the pump-dump phase of those coins, that's why they can gain big profits. Not all people know the pump-dump phase, only those meme coins armies know well. Anyway, you are wrong if buying meme coins for a long term holding.
