You’ve seen the screenshots: somebody buys a random coin named after a dog, a frog, or a celebrity, and a few hours later it looks like they’ve hit the jackpot. That’s the rush that keeps people glued to crypto charts, scrolling Telegram groups, and chasing the next “moonshot.”
The most recent hype cycle? Kanye West’s YZY coin. It exploded to a $3 billion market cap in hours, only to nosedive by two-thirds the same afternoon. A few early wallets walked away with millions. Everybody else? They’re now meme templates about “buying the top.”
Ye once mocked crypto, saying it preyed on fans. Fast-forward to August 2025, and suddenly he’s dropping YZY on Solana.
It played out like every meme coin thriller: hype went nuclear, Twitter Spaces lit up, and Discord chats were flooded with “buy now” energy. Then reality hit. YZY tanked 80% in its first week. Insiders who scooped early cashed out in under ten minutes, while everyday fans collectively lost tens of millions.

Here’s a starter kit—split by type and accessibility:
If you want to go beyond just watching charts, there are more advanced options:
In other words: it’s possible to build an alert system that spots launches before most people hear about them. But remember—being first doesn’t guarantee being right. You can just as easily lose money faster if you chase the wrong coin.
Meme coins are the Vegas of crypto:
They’re entertaining, chaotic, and sometimes wildly profitable, but they’re not investments. Play with lunch money, not life savings.
Because if Kanye’s YZY taught us anything, it’s this: in meme coin land, the house always wins.
Remember that awkward moment when refs would bring out the chains, everyone squints, and you’re left yelling at your TV? Yeah, that’s over.
Traditionally, long-form collaborations on YouTube meant co-producing a video that was published on just one creator’s channel. Cue the awkward moment during planning when someone asks, “Can I post it on my channel too?” and you hesitate because you want to keep the traffic centralized. We’ve all been there.
I’ve said it before, ChatGPT has become my must-have creative assistant. Whether I’m drafting, designing, strategizing, or just trying to push through a creative block, it’s the tool I reach for first.
