The 10 Rules for Investing in Memecoins
Alex Mason
Memecoins made me millions.
But only because I followed these 10 rules.
Here is the full list: 🧵
1. Picture Dogecoin or Shiba Inu—tokens that started as jokes but moved billions.
The memes are loud, but the mechanics matter.
If you understand what drives them, you stop chasing pumps—and start spotting them early:
2. Here’s the truth: Memecoins might start as jokes, but they follow real market rules.
Tokenomics, community strength, and timing drive the gains—or the collapse.
Ignore them, and you’re gambling. Understand them, and you’re early.
3. What separates a one-day chart spike from a long-term runner?
A loyal community, clear tokenomics, and some kind of vision—even if it’s wrapped in memes: ⏬
4 . Community is everything.
A loud, loyal group of holders can send a token flying—no utility needed:
Watch for active Telegrams, nonstop memes, and viral energy.
If the community’s obsessed, the chart usually follows.
5. Tokenomics decide who gets rich—and who gets dumped on.
Check total supply, how tokens are distributed, and whether whales can nuke the chart.
If one wallet controls everything, you’re not early—you’re exit liquidity. This is where smart research pays off.

6. Memecoins live and die by the meme.
One viral post or influencer mention can light the fuse—but that spark fades fast if there’s nothing behind it.
Ride the wave, but always ask: is this just noise, or is something real brewing underneath?

7. Timing is everything:
- Pay attention to Twitter chatter, meme velocity, and market mood.
- Too early, and you're stuck waiting.
- Too late, and you're exit liquidity.
Catch the wave—not the crash.

8. Due diligence is survival:
- Always verify contract addresses.
- Check if the devs are doxxed—or completely silent.
- Look at wallet distribution on Solscan, Etherscan, or BSCScan.
If it smells off or whales run the show, walk away. No meme is worth a rug.

9. Memecoins can 100x overnight—or nuke just as fast.
Set your entry and exit targets before you ape in. Treat every trade like it could go to zero.
If you can’t stomach the downside, you’re not ready for the upside.
10. For every Dogecoin that makes it, there are hundreds that vanish overnight.
Memecoins are pure high-risk, high-reward.
Never let FOMO drown out logic 👇
11. Follow a golden rule: never risk more than 10% of your bankroll on a single trade.
Protect your capital so you’ll always have firepower ready for the next opportunity.
FTX wasn’t truly insolvent — it was mismanaged, misrepresented, and dismantled. Court documents show the estate could have repaid all users in 2022 and grown to $136 B in value. Instead, asset fire sales, legal fees, and flawed leadership burned over $120 B in potential wealth.
