Beware of meme coins
So projects that crypto investors should watch out for may include meme coins, which are cryptocurrencies inspired by an internet meme or joke. The most famous example of a meme coin hype was the 2021 Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB surge. Of course, Dogecoin and SHIB were not invented as a scam. They were created as a way to make fun of Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos. Rutgers Business Merav Ozair, professor of fintech at the School, says the problem with meme coins like DOGE is that they “have no use cases.”
cryptocoin.com As we have also reported, SHIB has made the leap into the metaverse. It also adds innovation to technology with Shibarium. However, apart from familiar cryptocurrencies like this, the expert states that the coins themselves are pure speculation. Ozair says there is a benefit behind some meme coins, which can give them similar value to other types of investments.
Of course, other cryptocurrencies can also be completely fake. “The promotion of fake NFT campaigns on Instagram has helped scammers make a fortune by defrauding users,” says Wykes. To avoid such scams, be skeptical of overpriced products and, as always, be cautious when making a new investment, according to Ozair.
