It's absolutely, visible that you know what you are doing with meme coins.
And congrats to you for your success, you are really good at what you are doing.
But got few questions.
1. Do you agree that 90%+ of people lose money money in meme coins?
2. Do you agree that meme coins are based mostly on a hype?
3. Do you agree that with meme coins, if one person makes money the other one has to lose it?
4. Do you agree that, even if we educate ourselves as best as possible the meme coins are still a gamble?
Appreciate the questions!
Let me try answer them while i’m on smoko
1.
No, I think people who lose money in memecoins are too new to be making money.
Remember when you ran those ads on facebook and spent so much $ for like 2 conversions?
Well, you obviously didn’t know effective ad creatives. So you lost money, then came to BHW and created a thread “Is facebook ads dead?”
Same thing with memecoins in my opinion, once you know what the buttons you are clicking do and why charts and memecoins move the way they do.
Thats when the money starts, everyone is looking at memecoins right now as a new thing. They aren’t new they’ve been around for a long long time now.
I tried 20 diff business models and you’ll see if you go through my threads in the My Journey Section.
I could never get anything to work my brain just would not compute it, simple simple things like automating follow unfollow on a social media account I did not and still do not know how to do.
I spent money on TwitterDub but I don’t consider that ‘losing money’, i spent god knows how much on LG5GTQ+=[[ proxies that I didn’t know where to even paste them into.
These aren’t losses tho that’s just part of the process people go through. With crypto it’s similar, everyone loses money at the start but if you aren’t learning why you lost on that trade then I see no point why you even tried it to begin with.

Hype + Narrative + Attention = Billions
All a coin needs are
A LOT of one of those or A mixture of all three.
Let’s look at $PNUT
Pnut had a narrative and attention,
the narrative being squirrel was unalived by NYPD, owner outraged and went to the media blah blah
the attention it got was out of this world with CNN, BBC, 9News, Elon, Joe Rogan etc etc all posting about it showing their frustration. A aa result PNUT kept going up and up and up.
Now you may be wondering, ok but I missed PNUT so what do I do?
Just buy the derivative like PNUT2.0 or PNUT Wif Hat.
Kidding, that right there is why 90% of people lose money - they have no idea or thesis on their trade. Simply bought it because of emotions and fomo from PNUT
Do not buy derivatives ever ever ever ever. Don’t touch them I don’t care they are shit and you WILL lose money.
Buy coins with some sort of story behind it like $ZEREBRO which is an AI agent that literally makes music and interacts with people on social media. Completely autonomous.
Do we care how it works? Nope. We care it works and it fits into one of the three categories above.
Hype, Narrative, Attention
It wasn’t very hyped when it launched but after the music playlist (search on Spotify ‘Zerebro) and lots of people realising “wait this is AI?????”
The price started pumping
Narrative was always there and the reason I and many others bought
Attention fades in and out as showcased on the chart. When there is “only up” candles and high volume you know we are in an AI meta or $GOAT is pumping which is pumping everything surrounding
3. Yes this is the sad reality of memecoins, one must lose for one to win.
I buy 100 tokens for 10 solana
You buy 100 tokens for 10.5 solana
I sell 100 tokens for 10.3 Solana
Now you are stuck with 100 tokens worth less than when you paid for them until someone like
@xReminisce comes along and buys it.
This cycle repeats itself every second on every chart, one must lose (you) for one to win (me)
You will win when xReminisce loses. Thats just the way it is, the trick is
Be a winner.

There’s a common misconception that memecoins are gambling. To be honest, I am still undecided on wether or not they are considered a ‘gamble’.
We would then have to label any form of investment as a gamble. You are putting money in hoping you come back to more money in an hour, 12hours, a week, 24 years etc.
I consider leverage trading gambling as you are borrowing MORE than what you have in order to make MORE than what you would have.
Leverage trading is a gamble because you aren’t investing hoping to make money you are purchasing options on whether price goes up or down.
Leverage trading is the fastest way to burn you portfolio….. if you don’t know what you are doing.
I have no idea what i’m doing or what BTC will do, so I stick to my frogs sticks and car memecoins.
