A memecoin is a zero-sum* lottery.

There is no wealth creation. Every buy order is simply matched by a sell order. And after an initial spike, the price eventually crashes and the last buyers lose everything.

* It’s actually negative sum if the platform takes a cut.

Investing in memecoins is like participating in a zero-sum lottery. The price surge is often followed by a crash, leaving the last buyers with losses. It's important to understand the risks involved in such speculative assets.
