Good piece on Bloomberg (no paywall - link is to archive.is) on just how shitty and scammy the entire memecoin scene is. There are plenty of places in the shitcoin world where I genuinely believe people are well-intended but misguided, but here, there's nothing but crooks and scammers. And this is one of the "big five" that the US wants as a part of its reserve.

Its unbelievable what they talked about.

Interesting little legal tidbit there.
I might have felt sorry for shitcoin traders in 2021. But if you're still trading memecoins in 2025 I have no sympathy.

Yeah, I get people getting sucked in during the earlier hype cycles, but when the platform's called something like pump.fun, it's hard to feel that the folks getting suckered and the ones suckering them are only separated by skill, not intent.
