memecoin
Internet humor token
A memecoin is a cryptocurrency created around an internet meme, joke, or viral trend rather than any technical innovation or practical utility.
Dogecoin, featuring the Shiba Inu dog meme, was the original; countless imitators followed.
Memecoins are highly speculative, often pump-and-dump schemes where early buyers profit while latecomers lose: I put fifty bucks into a memecoin and lost it all in a week.
