FAQ
Why does community matter for memecoins?
A memecoin has no cash flow and no product — its value is almost entirely narrative and attention. A real community is what keeps that narrative alive through quiet stretches and bear markets.
How do I judge a memecoin community?
Look at holder count and distribution, how much organic (non-paid) content exists, and whether the chat stays active when the price is down — not just when it is pumping.
