With a market cap of $1.35bn, is FARTCOIN all hot air?

ended 29. May 2025

Bitcoin hit a new all-time high this month, but many meme coins are also making a noise of their own. Enter FARTCOIN, which, despite launching only in October last year, currently has a market cap of $1.35bn. While mainstream investors, perhaps news to crypto, may put some money in Bitcoin and other better known crypto currencies, is the real growth to be had in meme coins — and, if so, which do you recommend or which have you invested in? Equally, you may think meme coins are an absolute farce, making even Bitcoin look like the Greenback. Is there a place for meme coins in people’s investment portfolios or should they steer clear? If you’ve done well out of meme coins, tell us.

Fartcoin is the epitome of memecoins. It was designed as a complete smack in the face to traditional finance and IFAs who simply cannot comprehend why someone would buy it. The incomprehension is EXACTLY why crypto investors buy it!

The term 'hot air rises' is used with Fartcoin to describe the fundamental catalyst for driving it higher. Farts are hot air, hot air rises, the price rises. It's so simple it's perfect (for crypto traders to latch onto the narrative over).

The thing with crypto ex-Bitcoin is that it's a momentum and mindshare trade. The more people hear about it, the more people will buy it and contribute to said momentum.

The more you question it with theory and portfolio management eyes, the more you're overintellectualising it. It is what it is -- people are buying it out of nihilism and because it's funny.

Ironically the same people overintellectualising don't say similar about hosue price affordability for youngsters...
