Search for a token by name and a bunch of coins with the same name pop up—which one is the real one?
First, a definition: Some tokens claim to be a popular Meme coin’s “second generation” or “upgraded version,” but they’re usually unrelated to the original token.
The logic behind it: Copycat tokens capitalize on the attention around a popular name. Once people buy the wrong one, the creators may drain its liquidity or sell off a large amount at once. Those who bought the wrong token usually find it very difficult to recover their money.
When trading on Binance, $DOGE , you don’t need to worry about contract addresses. But on-chain, there are countless tokens called DOGE. Currently at 0.06513.
Don’t rush into a trade just because everyone around you is buying.

Just my personal opinion—take it as you will. This is not financial advice.
