Hello,

With the number of people talking about crypto both in and out of BlackHatWorld I thought it would be a good time to post this guide as a starter for anyone looking to try their hand at shitcoins/memecoins.

I’ve been trading these degenerate, zero fundamental, extremely volatile coins since September 2020. It is my main source of income losses (cough cough taxation office), they are extremely profitable if you are disciplined and as with anything only put what you can afford in.

Remember these are extremely volatile, have NO fundamentals and can be made in under 10 minutes (will have a guide for that in the future). The coins you hear very infamously such as $PEPE, $SHIBA, $DOGE $GROK. Yes I shilled $GROK at sub 100k marketcap, today at the time of writing it sits at $160,000,000 that’s 160 million dollars. Roughly 1600x,

This is just the tip of the iceberg as to what is possible with shitcoins. I myself had the opportunity to turn $73 to $30,000 with $GROK, unfortunately I do not have balls of steel and end up selling $1,000 every few days as it pumps. This is what is possible with shitcoins.

So, how do you find these degenerate, zero fundamental, extremely volatile coins?


Setup
First we must setup a on chain wallet:

The most common and widely supported wallet is MetaMask. You can find the link to download that here MetaMask Download

Once you have added this to your chrome extension create a wallet and store your seed phrase somewhere safe. Most people just send their phrases to me but you can also write it down on a piece of paper and lock that paper away somewhere, it is up to you.

Now that we have our wallet created and setup it's time to deposit funds. As we are going to be focusing on Ethereum for this guide we will need some Ethereum, (duh!). We can buy Ethereum from any major exchange I personally use Kraken, once the Ethereum is bought copy the MetaMask address which can be found underneath the account drop down inside of the MetaMask extension.
1701347952969.png

Once copied, simply send Ethereum from any exchange to this address and wait for it to deposit (5-10 minutes)

Congratulations, you now have Ethereum on the ERC-20 and are already ahead of anybody that keeps their crypto inside an exchange.

Remember, not your keys not your crypto! Always use a wallet preferably a cold storage wallet (e.g Ledger).

Finding, Checking, Buying, Winning

Now the fun begins, it's time to look for shitcoins and check them using various tools readily available for us to lose our money faster! Yippee!

I use dexscreener to hunt for new pairs, it is open on my side monitor 24/7. The link to dexscreener can be found here https://dexscreener.com/
1701348292201.png

Do not be overwhelmed! We are going to go over everything on this screen bit by bit. Stick with it and keep reading, do click around on dexscreener and familiarize yourself with all the menus. Everything will make sense as we go along.

First thing first we will start on the left hand side menu,

Watchlist
This is where you can find a list of tokens you have added to a watch list. Useful if you are a degen like me and like to sleep on coins that move faster than your younger self bar hopping on a Saturday night.

Alerts
If you set a price alert, they will be tracked here. A price alert could be for example $BHW to go above $10. Once and if this target is hit, you will receive a notification.

Multicharts
You can now see all your terrible financial decisions in the one place! Incredible right? Here is where you can view various different charts across crypto. I use this feature a lot as if Ethereum is rising but my shitcoins are dumping it's best to sell them and rebuy with a stronger Ethereum value.

New Pairs
This shows you all live pairs with default settings being highest Trending in last 6 hours, Token created last 24 hours and minimum Liquidity of $1,000. This will show you all shitcoins across all chains. I hate the default settings and will recommend you my own settings to catch mooners but feel free to use your own if you find a good fit.

Gainers & Losers
Self explanatory, ranks the highest gainers and losers in last 24hours, unironically at the time of writing this $GFY has rose over 205,000% in 24 hours. Very fitting to the shitcoin culture $GFY unabbreviated is Go Fu*k Yourself. By the time I finished this sentence, it has rose 212,000%. Can you see why I decided to write this thread?1701348971571.png

Portfolio
I don't use this feature as it doesn't track all plays, I use dexview which is very similar to dexscreener except it has a wallet tracker which just tracks your PnL across tokens. https://www.dexview.com/


Chains
All the different chains honestly require their own thread, I focus on two chains the most. Ethereum and Solana, Ethereum I use the most as I have been for the last 3 years and Solana has it's runs which we are in now. The biggest difference between the two is the fees associated with transactions (TX Fees). At the time of writing, a very simple buy transaction cost $20. No, I didn't accidentally put a zero, Twenty Dollars.1701349195469.png

Solana has basically non existent fees and is a lot faster than Ethereum. However there are also more scams in Solana due to the low cost and high speed to perform transactions. Ethereum still has it's scams but they are a lot less prevalent and with this guide you will be able to spot them and protect your liquidity.

So that's the sidebar, out of the way. Now we move onto why it's called DexScreener. It's time to screen through new pairs.

Finding

Lets find some pairs, click Ethereum on the sidebar... hey by the way remember $GFY? The token I talked about maybe, 10 minutes ago? 1701349374890.png
Yeah, it has rose 15% in just 5 minutes. Do not worry, we will be catching the next $GFY in just a second.

Once your on the Ethereum page:

Click 'Rank By' in the top right.
Click 'Ascending'
Click 'Pair Age'

If you got stuck here is a quick link: https://dexscreener.com/ethereum?rankBy=pairAge&order=asc

Nice, now we are simply looking at the most recent pairs.

Click the first one, buy it and come back in 10 minutes. You will either be rich or poor

Thank you for rea-

Although, it sounds absolutely ridiculous this exact strategy is what I use on Solana, as I spoke about before. Gas fees are non existent on Solana, so I put $5 into every. single. token. that is newly listed. Imagine one of those $5 grows to be a $GFY?

$5 x 2400 = $12,000

Not bad.

This strategy however is impossible and downright stupid to do on Ethereum unless you are a whale and hate money. In that case refer to wallet setup and send me your seedphrase.

Since we are looking at new pairs, we have a couple options here.

My favourite option to sift through all the shit (pun intended) is:

Click 'Filters'
Minimum Liquidity = 1,000
Maximum Pair Age = 3 hours
Click 'Apply'

Again, here is a quick link.
https://dexscreener.com/ethereum?rankBy=pairAge&order=asc&minLiq=1000&maxAge=3
1701349817520.png


Cool now it looks much cleaner and digestible.

Now we can go a step further and sort by volume by clicking ' Volume ' 1701349894781.png

As you can see from the fourth column all the pairs are being ranked by volume with a COPY of $GFY leading it with $29.6 M volume.

Remember, these are just the pairs in the last 3 hours that have a minimum of $1,000 in liquidity.

The volume filter helps you spot coins that are looking to pump, but you get a lot of coins that have pumped and dumped already. This is why I choose not to rank by volume.

Head back to https://dexscreener.com/ethereum?rankBy=pairAge&order=asc&minLiq=1000&maxAge=3

Checking

Let's checkout the first coin $MVU or Meme vs Undead.

Click it.
1701350107406.png


Haha it looks like half of the 'My journey section' here on BHW. (I am allowed to make that joke as I have failed 6 journeys).

Anyways, we get a couple of really good insights just by clicking on it.

First we can see that the developer has added 1 Ethereum into Liquidity.

We can also see that someone using the spray and pray strategy bought $30.32 or 0.014 Ethereum worth. Held on for one minute (pfft, lasts longer than I do) and sold for $21.86 or 0.01 Ethereum.

Now if we mo- What? Ohhhh, right how the hell did he lose $9 in 1 minute?

Simple, he forgot to check if the coin has a ridiculous amount of tax on it. We can do this by scrolling down slightly to 'Go+ Security' and clicking the dropdown menu

1701350378354.png
Wow 15% buy tax and 14% sell tax! That is ridiculous, but also not uncommon for extremely hyped launches. Developers can use the high tax at launch to farm $$$ for 'marketing' or if we rub our eyes ' BAHAMAS '.

Anyways sadly for our friend $MVU his token was not hyped and is a straight garbage. Next

I would like to re-iterate that shitcoins are degenerate, zero fundamental, extremely volatile coins.

Also, Go+ Security should be used as a guide and a guide only. There are a lot better tools to use.

Let's try the next one $GNoME

1701350614008.png
Okay this one looks good! We can see a few things here.

1. 112 holders in 7 minutes

2. $13,000 in Liquidity with a weird green lock on it? Let's hover over it to find out.

We can see the following:
Total locked liquidity
99.99%


Burned 0x0000...dead
99.99%

This is GREAT! The developer has simply burned all his liquidity tokens, they no longer exist and can not be altered. While the coin may dump, the coin may honeypot it will NEVER rugpull (removal of liquidity)

This is a great sign.

3. $83,000 in volume in the last hour (which is really the last 11 minutes since that's when the coin launched.) This is also pretty good, clearly there is some hype around this coin.

4. It has 0/0 tax meaning you aren't going to lose $9 in one minute (at least not to tax you aren't.)

5. Chart is trading sideways which is quite scary due to the volatile nature of shitcoins.


If I wasn't analyzing $MVU earlier this is coin I would have bought already and been spamming Twitter with gifs of rockets.

I want to check one last thing however, the holder distrubution.

In the Pair Info section

Pair Created
Pooled GnoME
Pooled WETH
Pair
GNoME - Click this one.
WETH

So the highest holder holds (try saying that 5 time super fast), holds 2% of the entire supply. That is also not bad, I have seen cases where wallets hold upwards of 5-10% of the supply! Outrageous!

We want to check holder distribution before we buy to avoid (or expect) a massive dump.

At this point I would buy the token at a $32,000 marketcap or 1 GNoME = 0.0006, the chart dipped a bit while I was checking the coin out which worked in our favour!

Buy order placed.

What's that? You don't know how to buy it? Oh crap! I forgot that was a section

Buying

Click the Trade on Uniswap button, make sure to click the button with a square and an arrow coming out of it. This takes you to the webpage which is much easier than the popup window (note: I am only showing UniSwap for simplicity, I myself use Trading Bots that place buy orders through routers and use custom GWEI to increase the speed.
I wish I could attach more images to walk you through all of that but who said I can't make another thread?

At the top right:

Click 'Connect'
Click 'MetaMask'
Click ' Approve ' on MetaMask popup
That's it.

Now GNoME should already be prefilled out for you but incase it's not copy the 0x number next to the button you clicked to see the holders earlier.

Click the drop down menu in the 'You Receive' box

Paste the 0x number or the Contract Address in there.

Now enter the amount of Ethereum you would like to buy in the 'You Pay' box

Swap

Confirm Swap

Confirm one last time in MetaMask

You have now successfully bought your first Ethereum Shitcoin. Wow, they grow up so fast. Now find the GNoME tab aaand HOLY SHIT IT'S MOONING!!!

Remember I 'purchased' at 0.0006, after checking back it currently sits at 0.0012

I have just doubled my money!

(P.S I really did buy the coin while walking through the checks but once I fully expected me to go through 4-5 coins before finding a good one.)

That's all it is folks.

Find -> Check -> Buy -> Win

But let me say it again THESE ARE degenerate, zero fundamental, extremely volatile coins! It could of dumped JUST AS EASY. IN FACT IT DID DUMP JUST AS EASY THAT IS WHY WE BOUGHT IT!

------------------------------

I really put a lot of effort into this thread and wish I could attach more images but it may be for the better since this would have ended up being twice the length.

I am happy to answer ANY and ALL questions regarding, Crypto, Shitcoins, Bots, Tools, Snipers, MEVs, NFTs anything. I have been in this space for a long time and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others where I can.

Honestly I am very impressed and grateful that I was able to PROVE just how much of a money maker shitcoins can be if done properly, I mean doubling my money in 10 minutes while coincidentally at the part talking about buying shitcoins was best case scenario and proves we are in a simulation lol.
 
Let's try the next one $GNoME

1701353034272.png
By the way, I know I will have people call BS on the $GNoME coin

Here is the updated chart, sitting at $130,000 marketcap. Just over 3x.

https://dexscreener.com/ethereum/0x2c72be37ae68b9a8103c7aa0347761ee60401cbe
Watch along as I either retire tonight or respond to questions in the morning hahaa!
 
I consider this as a bet system more than investments
and I don't recommend someone putting more than 5$ as you said
it will also help if that platform have those filter ready so you gain lots of time
Of course, I am not investing my money into a coin called $GFY (Go Fu*k Yourself).

However, I am buying it because I just heard that Elon Musk (extremely heavy influence on memecoins) said it in a press release 5 minutes ago.

As long as I do my absolute barebone checks to make sure the token is not a scam. I can buy with size $300+ having 95% conviction that the coin will pump as more people find out about it.

Which they did and that very $GFY token about Elon sits at an $8,000,000 marketcap. To say shitcoins aren’t an investment are 100% true but to call it a gamble is stretching said truth.

As for the filters, there is a telegram bot that does this if I remember what it’s called I will mention it.

I appreciate your insight however :)
 
Hi mate,
Thanks for your thread.
I´m starting with it.
GNoME still printing I hope you are in!!

1. What bot do you use or recommend? I´m thinking in to use ReadySwap
2. Have you tested any bot signals like AG, RS, PROPHET...?
3. What is your exit strategist?

Kind regards.

1) I use Maestro Sniper bot on Telegram

For hyped launches I use Banana Gun

2) Nope


3) very very coin dependent impossible to say. I try and get my initial investment out as early as possible and let the remainder ride.
 
I tried your method with Solana coins, bcs I wanna keep it low budget and I 5x my investments in 2 hours lol

but few things I didn't get:
1) That Raydium.io tool is super weird, it keeps loading/calculating and finding pools while the price is moving up and down
2) When it 5x, I wanted to withdraw quickly and that Raydium slowed me asfuck again and then there was so problem with "slippage too high for user's settings" or sum shit
3) Dexscreener has no limit function /stoploss? I wanted to set it like 3x my investment and wanted to work while it went up, but Ihad to watch it manually

Thanks a ton man btw, I'm in this degen trading from now on!

Edit:
4)Also what does it mean when suddenly in that buy/sell appears "add" or "remove" and the price completely shuts down and everything dies? is this the scam u talked about?
5) and also sometimes the address doesn't work when filling it manually to raydium, it asks for some user token and ask you to register it on your own

0) Firstly thank you for taking the time to read and more importantly take action - I’m happy that Solana worked for you and you were able to 5x your investment. Welcome to shitcoining.

1) Raydium is terrible. I hate it and prefer to use Bonk Bot for brand new launches. Raydium is good after it decides it wants to register the pair as tradeable.

2) I haven’t heard of that before, it’s OK to use high slippage on Solana as there are not many MEV bots yet. Key word - yet, I use upwards of 40% slippage on Solana.

3) No you can use a tool like Maestro for trailing stop loss, auto sell at x interval etc etc.

4) Haha your first rugpull. My guess is it happened on Solana, use rugcheck.xyz for Solana tokens and always wait for liquidity burn for Solana new pairs.

5) This is fine just put anything for it, once again Raydium is being shitty.

PM for the links to Maestro or Bonk bot
 
That’s quite an elaborate guide, I dabble in shitcoinery myself occasionally and pretty much use dexscreener with the same methods you described. I think right now for the average crypto user DeFi is still a bit like the Wild West, you’re bound to fall for a bunch of rugpulls and honeypots as an avarage user if you don’t know your way around reading contract functions. And even if you do know a bunch of solidity, there’s contracts with hidden functions these days, yikes!

could not agree more

i am really going to try to make an effort to reduce the fear associated with DeFi. It’s ridiculous to us since we know the game and how it works, but others hear about Safemoon rugging and are put off forever.
 
The best guide on On-Chain trading i read so far
Do you also trade normal usdt pairs on CEX?
It would be cool if you could do a part-2
 
Thanks for the detail guide! I'll try ur method in the future, hope I can be as rich as u :D
 
I was just checking. Is this Liquidity lock any good?. Cause i'm seeing it's decreasing.

Thank you so much, appreciate the kind words

I rotate my shitcoin profits into normal pairs and hold from there.

Say everytime I hit $1,000 on a shitcoin I send $500 to a CEX and buy something to hold long term.

Of course there have been countless times where I never get the $1,000 mark and have to wait it out before I can shitcoin again.

I do have an 'must buy' metamask wallet with ETH in there incase a play is too good to pass up.

A part two is something I would love to do where I would want to talk about how to find and what is in a smart contract, bots, gauging community sentiment - this will probably be a video with a written guide to go along.
Thanks for the detail guide! I'll try ur method in the future, hope I can be as rich as u :D
Try my method right now there is no reason to delay.

Don't spend any money just do what I did in the guide,

Go onto dexscreener and filter new pairs
Pick a pair and do the safety checks (tokensniffer.com, check GO+ Security)
Then write down the price of the coin and the marketcap
Keep the chart open and see if you would have made a profit or not.
If it you would have lost money find out why, did you forget to check holder distribution?
I was just checking. Is this Liquidity lock any good?. Cause i'm seeing it's decreasing.

Click the UniCrypt link to find out how long it is locked for,

Burn is best, lock is second best.

If it's locked for 100 years it is basically burned.

If it's locked for 100 seconds, run!

When the timer is up this gives the coin creator (could be you, me or anyone coins are EASY to make) access to the liquidity.

He can withdraw that $9,000 at any point meaning there is NO MORE VALUE to your tokens.

This is why the first thing we check is liquidity burn, we can't control selling but we can control rugpulls (removal of liquidity).

Liquidity is going down due to people selling, the lower the liquidity the more volatile the coin will move.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
It's locked for 6 months :smirk:
Eagerly waiting for part 2
 
Nice guide and thanks for taking the time to write it
 
Awesome guide, already been watching charts for hours trying to find my own edge lol.
Learning which are obvious rugs is step 1.

The details available on ETH are the best, i'll do my stuff there.

Thanks for the guide<3
