- How It Works:
- A meme coin is created (often as a joke or trend).
- It gains traction on social media and crypto forums.
- Early investors buy in, driving up the price.
- The coin goes viral, attracting more investors and hype.
- Prices either skyrocket (if the hype continues) or crash (if the hype fades).
- Key Players:
- Developers: Often anonymous, they create the coin and manage its initial launch.
- Community: The backbone of any meme coin, driving hype and adoption.
- Whales: Large investors who can manipulate prices by buying or selling in bulk.
