Trenching
You're trading attention. Memecoins have no fundamentals — just vibes, narratives, and social momentum. Most go to zero. Some go to $1B. Cap allocation at 10% of portfolio.
When to Use
- "Find me a memecoin to buy"
- "What's the current meta?"
- "Check if this token is safe"
- "Smart money is buying X"
When NOT to Use
- Blue chip accumulation (SOL, JUP) — use DCA
- LP farming — different skill
- Prediction markets — different skill
Finding What's Hot
Twitter/X — ground zero. 5+ accounts posting about the same thing = meta forming.
Smart money — build a watchlist on GMGN or Cielo. When 3+ converge on same token, real signal.
On-chain — GMGN "Sniper New" feed, DexScreener trending.
