Those memcoins that do not appear on centralized exchanges for a long time, they can not be considered at all, even at 0.1%. This is all the garbage that breeds on decentralized exchanges every hour. Of course, memcoins are not conservative investing, they are gambling, where you just spin roulette and hope for blind luck. It has nothing to do with investing as such.
To be honest, most of meme coins are worthless even though they have promising idea in their roadmaps, if they don't have anything to show or something new to offer for their investors, most likely their project will fail and will not gonna be like Dogecoin or Shiba Inu ever. We often hear see new meme coin created almost every month but the question is, will they be able to make it into reality whatever they saying in their roadmaps? Probably don't.
Roadmaps are needed to inspire investors with the idea that the value of the project will only increase in the future, which means that these tokens should be bought and held. It does not matter what is written in the white paper and roadmap of memcoin, it does not make it more useful and valuable.
I have not seen any pumping of DOGE and SHIB this year. On the contrary, these meme coins are showing complete stagnation and loss of interest among investors. I can understand why this is happening. These coins have already made a significant amount of profit and it's hard to pump them by hundreds of percent, it's easier to launch new meme coins and extract tens of thousands of percent on the hype. Hence the conclusion that it is not worth investing in old meme coins, they have already fulfilled their function.
Even the impact of Elon Musk, after changing the Twitter logo to the Dogecoin logo, did not receive increasing interest from investors and did not affect Dogecoin except for a slight impact on the unexpected, so I completely agree with you that the new meme coins that were not pumped before are a more attractive opportunity than the old meme coins, which tended to stagnate after the hype went away and after the whales’ liquidity was withdrawn from them to other currencies after they achieved multiples of investment returns. Still, we must not forget that the new meme coins are riskier than the old ones, as the old currencies are listed on the famous CEX platforms and have a large trading volume; this makes them safer than new currencies that are not listed, and rug pulls tokens, which, after investing in them, the investors may lose all their funds.
All the attention of the community has been captured by PEPE, so no one is interested in such events related to DOGE. DOGE is no longer growing the way it used to, which means it doesn't generate the interest it used to. It's the same story with SHIB. All memcoins are interesting as long as stories of crazy earnings are spread in the community.
