I don't think that meme coins launching will simply stop, and as you have said, it's been growing in the last couple of years. And the reason simply is,
This meme coins are a magnet for easy money, I mean the developers can launch it and just used the social media to create a hype and then investors suddenly flocking in hope on a easy money profit. Admit it or not, this has been the formula ever since. The thing is that many noobs are also thinking this way so they might join the meme coins craze. Unfortunately, if you don't know how the game is played then they might lose their money and they could be the victims in the long run. So for me it's not advisable specially if you are a newbie to just follow meme coins and invest and then hope that you will get x10 or higher profits.
To be fair, if I was like for a short-term only, I would prefer buying DOGE, SHIBA and every INU breeds out there and I would just sell it right away whenever the pump happens. Community-wise, they're going to get more attention rather than these technical altcoin with the exception of AI since it is continuing to be a relevant topic with the fear of it shaking the job market. Even by hyping it through social media might be an overkill depending on the meme.
Meme are going to be part of the internet as a culture and people need to accept that. It's just going to change overtime and same goes to how new meme coins get created. Even if it has no utility at all, it's like sort of a "culture token" like for fun-sies.
2020-2021 were the hype of meme coins, it was when Dogecoin became very popular because Elon Musk campaigned it. Since Dogecoin was popular, we saw too many meme coins at that time but most of them just end up with nothing. Many of them were scams, some failed to develop because they have no longer demands on the market. So, I don't think this year will be the hype of meme coins because there are many people who feel disappointed with meme coins. Sure, as the name of meme coins, it have no strong fundamentals, they no clear plan in the future. That's why we know that it is not recommended to invest in meme coins.
Anyway where do you get the stats that there are 8 meme coins projects of 10 current projects? If it is related to the new projects in this forum, I assume we have more AI projects than meme coin projects.
Well it's not really "campaigning" it more like just mentioned it. Many of his followers surely wanted to be like him so they joined the train hype to the coins he held. Even if you think that meme coins aren't going to be the hot topic this year, believe me, there were hundreds or maybe thousands of memes that already originated back around 2013 and some random bored guy out there would surely start it out.
Just a disclaimer that I am not an investor of a meme coin, this is just me putting myself into a perspective of an meme coin investor.
