Here's a spicy take: launching your own Meme coin might actually be the move. Why? Because you control the narrative—no one can suddenly dump and wreck your portfolio. Compare that to chasing whatever random altcoin is trending. You buy, it tanks 40%, then another 30%... before you know it, you're staring at your portfolio thinking about life choices. With Meme coins, at least you know what you're getting into from day one. The real lesson? The market will humble you unless you're playing a game you fully understand.
