Meme tokens are likewise cryptocurrencies developed out of fun making or jokes from the Internet and social media entertainment at large. They are mostly termed as Joke cryptocurrencies but presently today, these Joke coins are making waves and increasely becoming relevant in crypto space. The first created Meme coin is Dogecoin, created by Jackson Palmer in 2013, its invention at that time was just as a meme for the cryptocurrency, but over the years Doge coin has become the most famous meme coin today. Although, meme tokens have no use in real life as compared to other cryptocurrencies used in solving real life issues, but was created out of fun. Of recent the creation of meme tokens are now purposeful and severe as utility token for some blockchains.

If there's one thing I'm sure of this year is that, 2021 is a crypto year and meme tokens as a cryptocurrency has received massive growth and recognition, as such impacted positively to cryptocurrency market this year. Meme tokens have experienced an up-shoot this year, as its recognition and price value have increased greatly, following the the success and growth level of Dogecoin and the high rate of cryptocurrency acceptance into the finance system and the world at large.

Although, the success and growth of meme tokens are also linked to influence and hype of celebrities and crypto market influencers. As we know the world is going global and the social media platform has a great effect in th world today, the constant advertising and promoting of these meme coins made it known to the public and lots of persons got attracted first by the animation looks of meme token and in turn picked more interest on the tokens.
Notably, the rise of Dogecoin in crypto space today is all thanks to Elon Musk, a die hard supporter of Doge meme coin, and also celebrities like Snoop Dogg and Vitalik Buterin who are also advisors of Doge.

These meme coins are created and launched easily and as such they can be extinct in the long term. Most of meme tokens stocks are unlimited, and has a long term impact on their price value. With its recent growth and success rate, many persons now have high expectations about meme coins and are investing and trading on these tokens in a bid of making profits in the near future.

2). Do you think Meme Tokens is a type of cryptocurrency that shouldn't need to be created?

I would say, Meme tokens cryptocurrency should be created and further be created with a significant purpose as other cryptocurrencies. Judging from the already existing success and level of acceptance in the crypto market, i think the creation of meme tokens can be a stepping-stone for crypto newbies to learn on how to invest. The creation of meme tokens as a cryptocurrency has also brought about the massive recognition and acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the world and if created will have a greater impact in crypto space, in terms of its price value and other aspects.

For instance, Dogecoin was first created out of fun and entertainment, but over the years it has become well known and also brought other cryptocurrencies to limelight, as many persons have learnt about cryptocurrencies, thanks to the circulation of Dogecoin in crypto market.

The creation of meme cryptocurrency can also severe as an advertisement to attract individuals to be part of a blockchain project, the mere view of meme tokens are catchy and can be a source of relief to must user's. I take myself fir example, I was attracted to Dogecoin because of it's nice look, which got me interested to further learn about the coin. As also, the promotional influence on Meme tokens by celebrities and whales of crypto space, will also boost the price of these meme tokens. However, one should always try to carryout some fundamental analysis on a meme coin of interest before investing in it. Any meme coins to be invested in should have a clear purpose or project.

I will choose to invest in meme coins, reasons been that meme tokens are community driven and backed up by a large supportive community and great investors and whales in finance world.
The support from celebrities and rich entrepreneurs to meme tokens has yielded great success and growth of recent, this is a good sign that meme coins will flourish and do better in time to come, and investing in this coins now will yield great profits for me tomorrow. Even the great Elon musk had earlier this year talked of investing in Dogecoin, since then the price of this meme coin has been on the increase.

Another reason I would invest in meme coin is that, these coins(like Dogecoin) are built on simple technologies associated with cryptocurrencies that allows for easy verification of transactions and has a well secured process of carrying out transactions without any third-party interference.

The recent performance of Dogecoin has outshine Bitcoin's processing speed, as Doge uses Scrypt in for it's alograthm and within a year it's performance level is about 100%. I can say from experience that have made some profits from investing on Dogecoin earlier this year. From the screenshot below, it shows the growth trend of Dogecoin price in the last 3months and 7days time frame.
