Analysts warn about the importance of being well-informed before investing in cryptocurrencies, recommending the use of exchange houses and secure wallets. Among cryptocurrencies, there are so-called 'meme coins', virtual currencies with humorous names inspired by memes, characters, or animals, designed to attract users. These investments are highly volatile, with little information and regulation, positioning them as high-risk assets according to specialists.
A relevant aspect to consider is that 'meme coins' are often used for scams, given their ease of creation and the popularity they can reach on social media. Dogecoin is considered the precursor to this type of cryptocurrency, maintaining its popularity for over a decade, driven by influential figures like Elon Musk, who has been accused of promoting it inappropriately in the past.
Since its inception in 2013, numerous 'meme coins' have emerged, representing a tempting investment opportunity for many people. However, experts warn about the high risks associated with these coins, highlighting their extreme volatility and the lack of information and regulation. Furthermore, they emphasize that they are often used in fraudulent schemes, with celebrities and influencers promoting them only to sell off their holdings and trigger abrupt drops in their value.
