Scrolling through crypto communities, you see meme coins everywhere—Doge, Shib, all these viral tokens popping off. But how do people actually grab these before they explode? It's not as complicated as it sounds. Most meme coins live on decentralized exchanges or major platforms where you can trade them directly using stablecoins or other crypto. The real question is: which ones are legit versus pure hype? That's where research and community sentiment come into play. Worth exploring if you've got the risk appetite.
