Meme-coins are cryptocurrencies that gain attention through social media and viral internet trends. They are often seen as highly volatile, with their value fluctuating rapidly based on trends and memes. While some meme-coins have seen success, many are criticized for their speculative nature and the potential for investors to lose money quickly.
