Trenches are what they are, you take the risk with any investment, especially there. Without doing actual math, I believe 50-75% of the coins that bond, are fake in every way.
They are structured to appear real, they have a X page with followers, they pay dex, they have people commenting on the X. All of that is fake. The volume has been wild recently, the pattern for many coins, pertaining to market cap progression and regression, was consistently repeated.
Somewhere between this week and last week it changed, but it changed for so many of the coins. No longer do you see wild volume, it's more staggered, even less organic looking.
Knowing the pattern, it was easy to grab profit because you could predict the movement. A pattern will appear again but it's crazy how, it switched from what it was for all of these coins, to what it is now for these fake coins.
Just an observation, meme coins are a vehicle to make money, you win and you lose, and hopefully your wins out weigh your losses. Stay safe people.
