> "Is anyone seriously buying this stuff?

This seems to be the only large crypto sub that actually lets me post things without immediately deleting it so this is my new favorite place to be. Anyways. I just have a question for the huge amount of people on this subreddit. Is anybody seriously buying stuff like $Velvet? I just cannot imagine anybody who actually takes the time to look over the things they buy, seriously putting money into things like that. It sort of boggles my mind how high the market caps of some of these virtually valueless coins get up to. I understand the whole degen fomo gambling side of it playing a part. I maybe I just cannot believe the amount of money that is being allocated for degen fomo gambling vs legitimate buys. All it takes is 30 seconds of exploring the website to realize it’s the furthest thing from anything special or unique or groundbreaking. It’s overvalued by a couple hundred million dollars LOL. I watched this thing explode from tens of millions to nearly a billion, then back down to a hundred million and now back to over half a billion. There are A LOT of coins like this that I have noticed becoming more and more frequent over the past couple years, this is just an example. Its different from the usual meme/shitcoins. It’s almost like a hybrid coin of super overly exaggerated utility combined with hype and volatility popularity. Another example of this would be something like $LAB. Is the ratio of total legitimate investment money vs total degen fomo gambling money changing a cause of this?"
