The cryptocurrency market can make or break an investor by delivering millions in profits or turning him into a pauper. The key to making millions sometimes lies in meme coins that can go helter-skelter in the charts after launch. However, no shoe fits all, as even meme coins come in various shapes and sizes in the market. Some take investors to the moon with life-changing gains, while others make their portfolios bleed forever.
