Daily Crypto Knowledge Lesson — Why 99% of Meme Coins Drop to Zero Factual Data: Between January 2024 and March 2025, over 7 million tokens on PumpFun had more than five trades — yet 98.6% of them essentially dropped to zero. Yes, the coins you chased are most likely among them. Reason 1: Bonding Curve — The Earlier You Buy, the Cheaper It Is Every new purchase pushes the price higher. Early holders acquired their tokens at the floor price; when they dump, everyone who bought later gets stuck at the peak. Reason 2: Sniper Bots Enter Instantly at Launch The median time for the first purchase is 0 seconds — you’re still refreshing the page, and the bots are already in. 84% of meme projects have sniper bots lying in wait. Even more extreme: over 15,000 tokens were self-sniped by the creators themselves — and 55% of these self-sniped tokens were sold out and dumped within one minute. Reason 3: Funds Distributed Across Multiple Wallets Tokens are split across dozens of new wallets, making it seem like ownership is widely dispersed — but behind it all is often just one person. These linked wallets collectively hold over 30% of the total supply. Thanks to @bot for sending me these daily educational updates!
