Numeric Analysis: Meme Coin Volatility and Market Impact
Meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu are highly volatile, often experiencing rapid surges and crashes based solely on social media hype and celebrity endorsements. Here’s a breakdown of how this volatility could threaten the overall crypto market:
Market Influence: Meme coins currently represent approximately 4-6% of the total crypto market cap (as of recent analysis), indicating their substantial impact on market sentiment and investor behavior.
Volume and Activity: During meme coin rallies, trading volume surges disproportionately. For instance, Dogecoin trading volume spiked by over 500% in a single week in 2021, influencing many new investors to enter the market during a speculative phase.
These fluctuations create potential risk as larger portions of market capital are based on speculation, which could destabilize other assets if meme coins suddenly crash.
Examples: Dogecoin and Shiba Inu
1. Dogecoin: Originally created as a joke, Dogecoin surged to prominence due to social media attention and endorsements. At its peak, Dogecoin’s market cap exceeded $85 billion—a significant value for a token with limited utility, thus amplifying the risks tied to speculative assets.
2. Shiba Inu: Similarly, Shiba Inu, often dubbed the “Dogecoin killer,” climbed rapidly through hype but has faced extreme volatility, with investors experiencing price swings of over 60% in a matter of hours. This showcases the risks involved with meme coins driven largely by hype rather than underlying technology.
Caution: Investing Wisely in the Crypto Market
Cardano’s founder emphasizes the need for caution in the crypto market, urging investors to understand that meme coins are highly speculative and may not offer the same stability or intrinsic value as major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum. With meme coins fueled by trends and social influence, a market crash could wipe out investments quickly, especially for those who enter during a hype cycle.
Investors should thoroughly research and diversify their portfolio, avoiding high allocations to meme coins unless they are prepared for extreme risk. Stable and well-researched projects tend to have more sustainable growth and resilience.

I’ve been in Crypto for years now. Since early 2018 to be exact. It wasn’t a good time to get in, but nevertheless, the lessons I picked up along the way are priceless. I’ve had many victories and equally many defeats on this journey, and to say that I haven’t enjoyed every minute of it, well, that’s accurate 😄. 
Like many trying to make it through Crypto trading, I made some big mistakes, but I was lucky where I didn’t get myself wiped out completely. And believe me, that is something I have seen happen to many others throughout the years, especially those who put all their eggs in a single basket. However, I believe it is through the mistakes that I have reached the point where I am today. I am still far from my end game - my dream goal, but, for the first time since my journey began, I am starting to see that goal in sight.
So what was one of the biggest mistakes I was doing? Simply, I was re-investing all my profits from successful trades. Some might say that this is the way to go, but when you’re dealing with an unpredictable monster like the crypto industry, it is always good to ensure your success. 
The problem with reinvesting everything is you begin to forget why you got into this whole crypto trading thing - To earn as much Fiat as possible. You are basically diving into an abyss, climbing your way out and diving back in, not leaving anything from those dives. This is exactly what I see many people doing, they don’t put anything away, they reinvest, then the market eventually crashes, they panic sell or they’re left off with months to years of waiting before their crypto regains any of its previous worth.

So what has worked well for me?

Common sense really. Whenever you have a successful trade - Let’s say you made a $150 profit. Divide that $150 into 3 ways, as per follows:

$50 to your FIAT stash. This is your endgame stash. Don’t ever touch this stash, only add to it. As it grows, this is everything that you have to show for years of trading.

$50 to any Crypto that you want really. Basically buy any crypto, especially if it dipped and the price is right. This crypto is complimentary to your end game stash. It is a long term hold, when you have the highest price possible, then sell it.

$50 Your trading stash. The bigger your crypto trading stash gets, the more trades you’ll be able to do vs. other crypto and bring in profits. So don’t neglect this completely.

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments guys, whether you have any ideas you'd like to share or just wanna say hello!
