🚨 Shitcoin, Memecoin, Scamcoin... are you getting them all mixed up? Here's the complete glossary 🚨
In crypto, not all risky tokens are created equal. Here are the essential terms to know before investing:
šŸ“Œ The two basic terms
šŸ”“ Shitcoin — A token with no real utility, no serious technical project, and no identifiable team. Created quickly for speculation.

šŸ• Memecoin — Born from a joke or internet meme (Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Pepe...). Its value is based on community and hype, not on technology.

āž”ļø All memecoins are often seen as shitcoins, but the reverse isn't true: some shitcoins (falsely) claim to have a utility.

šŸ“Œ Variants to Know
āš ļø Scamcoin — The fraudulent intent is clear from the start
šŸ’€ Deadcoin — Abandoned project, activity close to zero
🧟 Zombie coin — Technically active blockchain, but no development or community
šŸƒ Rug pull token — Designed so the team disappears with the funds
šŸ“ˆ Pump and dump coin — Artificially inflated price, then sold by insiders
šŸ“‹ Copy-paste/fork coin — Code copied from an existing project, without any real innovation
šŸ‘» Vaporware token — Promises a technology that never sees the light of day
šŸ“Œ Memecoins
🐶 Dog coin — Sub-family inspired by Dogecoin
šŸ”§ Utility memecoin — Attempts to add a real function afterward to legitimize itself
āš ļø Remember
These terms come from the crypto community, not an official organization. There is no standardized classification — everyone uses them in their own way. Always do your own research (DYOR) before making any investment.
