Shitcoins: Stroke of Genius or Cosmic Scam?💩🚀

📢 Breaking news: A new coin with a questionable name just went +10,000% in 24h! You're hesitating between selling your grandmother to buy some or watching from afar with a "What's this BS now?" look.
Welcome to the wonderful world of shitcoins, these ultra-volatile cryptos that can either make you rich overnight, or leave you broke faster than a rug pull on Solana.

What is a Shitcoin? 🤔

A shitcoin is a crypto with no real project, no utility, but lots of hype. Basically:

✅ A beautiful marketing promise.
✅ A logo often inspired by a stupid meme (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, PEPE Coin, etc.).
✅ A community in shambles on X after each pump & dump.
❌ No serious use case (other than enriching its creators).

👉 Legendary example: SafeMoon, which promised insane returns… before crashing like a paper airplane in the rain. Result? An army of tearful investors, and developers mysteriously disappearing into thin air.

But don't be mistaken, some shitcoins manage to mutate into semi-viable projects thanks to a solid community and good marketing. (Hello Dogecoin, the perfect example of the joke that became a billionaire).

Why Do People Invest in Shitcoins? 💸

If shitcoins exist, it's because people put money into them (yes, it's logical). But why on earth would someone jump on a token with a skunk head and fish body? (yes I just made that up) ^^

🔹 The Lambo dream: "What if I found the next Dogecoin before it explodes?". Spoiler: You'll more often end up with a bus ticket than a Lambo.
🔹 FOMO (Fear of Missing Out): Seeing guys become millionaires in 24h gives ideas. Except usually, you arrive after the battle, when the train has left and only smoke remains.
🔹 The lottery effect: Buying a shitcoin is like scratching a $2 ticket. You know you have 99% chance of losing, but you do it anyway because the remaining 1% can make you very rich.
🔹 For fun: Yes, some buy $PEPE or $WIF just for laughs. After all, losing 20 bucks on a meme is less painful than giving them to an underground parking in Paris.

The Risks: How to Avoid Getting Plucked? 🦆

If investing in a shitcoin makes you dream, you might as well know where you're stepping. Here are some classic traps to avoid:

❌ Rug pulls: Projects launched just to steal funds before disappearing. It's like buying a car, but without wheels, without an engine, and with a seller who already blocked you on Telegram.
❌ Pump & dump: Whales pump the price, then sell everything, leaving small investors in "Why did I believe in this?" mode.
❌ Lack of liquidity: You bought an unknown coin, but… impossible to resell it. You're officially the sole owner of a fictional fortune.
❌ Absurd promises: "This project will revolutionize the world economy!" Translation: "We put a funny dog on the site and hope you'll believe it."

🚨 Survival tip:

• ✔️ Always check the whitepaper (if there is one).
• ✔️ Verify liquidity and trading volume.
• ✔️ Check if the project is transparent or if devs are anonymous shadows.

Legendary Shitcoins: The Wall of Champions 🏆

If some fail miserably, others have made history (and enriched a few lucky ones along the way).

💎 Dogecoin ($DOGE): Created in 2013 as a joke by Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin was supposed to be a Bitcoin troll. But thanks to a crazy community and Elon Musk's tweets, it became a full-fledged crypto.
💎 Shiba Inu ($SHIB): Born in 2020 to compete with Dogecoin, it sells itself as "the Dogecoin killer". Shiba Inu managed to create an ecosystem with its own DEX (ShibaSwap).
💎 SafeMoon: The perfect example of a classic shitcoin. Created in 2021, it promised automatic rewards and massive burns… before crashing.
💎 PEPE Coin ($PEPE): Launched in 2023, this token relies solely on the famous Pepe the Frog meme. Massive hype, but extreme volatility.
💎 Peanut ($PNUT): A shitcoin (meme) on Solana blockchain based on a famous squirrel euthanized during the presidential campaign.
💎 Bober ($BOBER): Another shitcoin (meme) on MultiversX blockchain based on a beaver.

Should You Give It a Shot? 🎲

👉 If you like risk and only put in what you can afford to lose, why not!
👉 If you're looking for a serious investment, move along and stick to fundamentals (BTC, ETH…).

📢 Moral of the story:
Shitcoins are like a kebab with harissa sauce at 4am: it can be a great idea at the moment… but you might bitterly regret it the next day on the toilet.🌯🔥
