Meme Coins and Launchpads: How They Actually Work
Where meme coins came from, the machinery underneath them (bonding curves, graduation, fee splits), and the failure modes, with the real numbers.
6 lessons
Meme coins are the most visible and least understood corner of crypto. This course takes them seriously as a mechanism: the internet culture that produced them, the launchpad machinery that industrialised them, and the documented ways they fail. It is descriptive, not promotional. Nothing here recommends buying anything.
