Meme coins are altcoins (cryptocurrencies that are not bitcoin) named after trends, humorous or fun topics, or anything else someone can think of. They are usually created to engage a community and can be used in peer-to-peer payments, speculative investing, or trading. In many cases, they are accompanied by websites with comical themes, sometimes nonsensical terms, and their creators and fans market a sense of community to attract others.
