How Do Altcoins Compare to Meme Coins?

[Jenny]

We all know that altcoins like ETH, SOL, and AVAX bring innovation, real-world use cases, and strong development teams. But let’s be real—meme coins (DOGE, SHIB, PEPE) dominate the hype, often outperforming traditional altcoins in short bursts.

The big question: Are meme coins just speculative gambling, or do they have the potential to evolve into something more? We've seen meme coins integrate utility (staking, NFT marketplaces, and even their own L2 solutions). Does this change their status, or are they just hype machines waiting to implode?

What’s your stance—do you prefer solid tech altcoins or the wild ride of meme coins? And more importantly, which has made you the most profit?

Honestly, I’m torn on this. Meme coins feel like pure hype, but at the same time, they’ve shown they can stick around and even evolve. The fact that some have real utility now makes me wonder if they’re more than just short-term pumps. Still, it’s hard to ignore how often they crash just as fast as they rise.


I like solid tech projects, but meme coins have definitely surprised me (and my wallet) a few times. Not sure if they’re the future or just a fun gamble. What do you guys think—are they actually here to stay.
