This post will sound like a lot of financial advice, but I would like to keep it as an "experience shared" with others from real-life events and people... Recently, I was writing more crypto-related posts as many things were happening around that needed to be mentioned... And not in a way like many were doing, shilling all new shining stuff, trying to grab as much as possible of those referral rewards, cuts from exchanges, or just because they wanted to have someone to sell their bags... It was more in the opposite way, trying to explain how to not make big mistakes in all this craziness and FOMO atmosphere...
Btw, would you recognize who is the person inside that coin/circle in the image above? 😃 I was searching for a specific name and word "coin" on Canva, and I got that one... It's amazing how simple it is, but you can still guess the person easily... 😃
So, in one of my previous posts about crypto, I got a comment that wasn't too much connected with the point of the post, where the author said something like this... "If you came early into the TRUMP coin, you would earn a nice income." No lies said there, but going "early" into any of these meme coins is like finding a needle in a haystack...
Also, there are some additional issues with things, "What if I bought that at 5 cents, and sold at the top at $80!" Well, it sounds great, but have you EVER done something like that before? Did you buy HIVE at 12 cents and HODL all the way to 65 cents (and sold it) in the recent past? I mean, it's easy to say that done! If you would buy a TRUMP coin at 5c, you would probably sell it at 50c max! And that would happen if you invested some relatively small amount... If you bought for a larger amount, you wouldn't risk even 5x... But, again... It's just a GAMBLE!
If you think with a non-FOMO brain, and you want to invest for the future, to MAKE A CHANGE, why would you even bother with ANY meme coin? Trump is a president now, what would happen with your coin when he goes out from the White House? The risk is too big and the reward isn't enough for risking that much... I don't even speak about Pepes, Frogs, Farts, and other coins... What kind of future they could have? 😃 It's a gamble!
I heard many times people comparing crypto with gambling, but I refuse to accept that way of thinking... If you are doing your research, checking out fundamentals about the crypto that you want to invest in, you check tokenomics, you check the use case, etc. If you have a green light on all that, that's not betting... Yes, "black swan" events can happen, but it's not a "black or red" bet... Your odds are much higher and you can't (except for the black swan) lose it all!
What is the worst of everything... People who are chasing meme coins are mostly those who have nothing, who believe in "memiracle", who think that this one thing will change it all... "Trump will change it all for the better... For me..." I have bad news for you... No, he will not, but YOU CAN! Focus on good tokens, with use case, with community, invest your time, learn new things, help others, build your portfolio... THAT will change YOUR LIFE, and the change will not be only a FINANCIAL change!! You don't have to search too far, you are at the right place, at the right time!!!
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week we have mined 92 BEE tokens in total!!!...
This week we didn't have new delegators, but we did get more delegations from our old members... Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
This week it is time to distribute the CTPSB tokens as a reward... As I already gave these tokens in the past, there is no need to explain how it works and that it is backed up by HivePower! But, one thing I will share as it is fresh... The CTPSB project is acquired by @liotes and it's running under its umbrella... For token holders, it should mean even more stability and fewer risks... You can check out @achim03's last post about that at the official @ctpsb account...
There will be distributed 1.75 CTPSB tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... 92 BEE tokens and 1.75 CTPSB tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 8.354%, and when we added the bonus it went up to 10.214%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens at the moment of creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!

I can't agree with you more about buying memecoins. But the fact is that Solana would not be what it is today without the memecoin craziness, even though they have other things over there for more serious people.
yeah... Solana was heavily "tested" by those memecoins... And that helped a lot in being where they are atm...
Who knows what would happen if HIVE had that kind of transaction volume on the chain? :)
A coin without a use case is like a stock without a balance sheet. Both do not hold any value in and of themselves. So I agree with you.

Thanks a lot for distributing CTPSB tokens ;-)
Always a pleasure... It's great to give away quality tokens to others!
Sadly for some , there crypto knowledge is limited to DOGE,SHIBA INU, PEPE and TRUMP.
Thanks for token.

Yeah, that's why this recent TRUMP token move almost didn't influence other tokens... It's amazing how people "stayed" in that bubble... That could be a problem as they will identify crypto by their experience, which will probably be poor and superficial... 😕
Definitely trump coin lol, the hairstyle is probably one of a kind. I think viewing crypto investing as a gamble is just a superficial way of looking at this space. You'll first have to dig deeper and explore many aspects of this space to come to the realization that there's a potential or possibility of life changing opportunities here, but like many worthwhile things in life, it wouldn't come easy :)
I just had a talk with a friend who doesn't hold any crypto but is interested in it and in blockchain tech in general... His first observation regarding TRUMP tokens and other meme coins was similar to what you said...
For people who don't know about crypto, after their meme coin "experience" the WHOLE crypto is a joke and a big gambling machine... Which is far away from reality and the real value that crypto brings to the space!
Yes, first impressions do matter unfortunately, so it may take sometime before these kind of people change their mind on crypto. But I think they'll come around eventually, as this space is empowering in ways that can't be seen in other other industry.
I think anyone who bought at five cents might mostly likely sell by the time it's 50 cents. Why? They're already done a x20 which is a decent profit and they're probably not guess it'll get to 80$
Crypto is an emotional game and it's way to risky on cryptos that are meme coin. I had the opportunity to buy MELANIE when it immediately released at midnight, and I could have probably gotten a x30 to 50 if I just went in with 5$.
I know that 5$ is a small sum and I don't mind losing, but I've got a family who depends on me and who's to say I can't continue gambling on memes immediately I start?
As for people who say crypto is a gamble, they're the ones who mostly don't know projects with real use cases and probably still don't know anything
That "could have" is something that we often use when we "regret" that we didn't do something... Don't forget that any of those coins that did well COULD HAVE done worse, or gone to zero...
Of course, nobody can forbid you what to do, or not to do... ;) You do what you think it's better in your opinion and your circumstances... ;) 💪
In reality, I didn't actually regret it. I choose not to go into it because of the uncertainty. 5$ is disposable for me, and it probably wouldn't hurt, but then. Gambling is habitual. If I made a profit, perhaps I'll then start chasing after other memes which now creates a rabbit hole for me.

I believe conviction is the key, which comes with research and doing homework. I realise it's a different game for people who gamble on memecoins, they tend to go after every single one, because even if 9 out of 10 fail, and the last one went up 100x, the profits are still decent. I think at the end of the day, everyone has different risk appetite, and it's fun to see and read different perspectives.
Thanks for the tokens!

That's TRUMP right?
@ph1102, @relf87(4/5) sent you LUV. | tools | discord | community | HiveWiki | <>< daily
That made sense a year ago... but these days, I think there were MILLIONS of meme coins created just in 2025!!!! It's not 9/10 that would fail, but 99/100... 😃
Hehehe... yeah... his famous hair-cut... 🤣
Yeah there's simply too many meme coins these days!
I agree that it's a gamble for memecoins. It's why I tend to avoid it. I don't think its worth the risk. Sure you could win, but I think its more llkely you will lose because you aren't the early people in.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/CTPSB tokens.
Exactly! going into some memecoin, 3-4 days after the launch, already has no sense... You will not catch 100X anymore, maybe 3-4X, but that you can get even with BTC!
Great advice. Just looking at the leveraged plays on Bitcoin and Solana memecoins Shows how widespread high time preference is (as you would expect in Fiat land). My mind is blown how people do the same things repeatedly.
1B in 24 hours... Nice profits... 😃
Yes you know
Trade it dont marry it ;) Its more about taking advantage of where the most profit will be made.
lol, Its a game of probability imo
Speaking of probabilities... So let's go back to that table... How difficult is it to "discover" AI or meme coin to get those 1000%+ gains and how hard is it to find a quality DeFi project?
anyway... I was talking about investing and not that much about trading... And tbh, I don't know with what expectation people come into crypto when their first token is TRUMP or some other meme... To build their pension? Pay their mortgage? 😃
Crypto and blockchain tech are much more than just trading and speculating... They are changing the world and it will be much more visible in the next 2-3 years than it was until now...
Just my 2c :)
Hehe yes they will be rekt, gotta educate yourself!
Ah, I just trade them and turn the money into things I like to invest in, like btc ;) It's probably hard to find them, I just stick to big names and find them by charting ideas, like PEPE from the bottom made a inverse h&s pattern, just like btc at its bottom, for me it was easy to spot and you hold to at least its in its third wave.. for AI I was late, got a 5x on FET when it broke out of a big cup&handle.
ofc, I dont mind making money on trading and invest in what will change the future.

Thank you for the CTPSB! If there is a community behind the token I'm in!
You are welcome! There was a community behind it, but the whole CTP tribe went to the history... But, the good news is that it's now part of the Liotes! 😃
I think that such coins as TRUMP affect the reality of cryptos adversely.
There was some research regarding the TRUMP token and when they drew the line, there were not really too many effects on OTHER tokens... Launching the MELANIA token after it makes the whole crypto ridiculous... It's creating an image of crypto as something laughable...
But, I do agree that some meme coins did help out in certain ways...
That’s some true words of wisdom spoken there! And I wholeheartedly agree with you on that!!!
