8 August Degen Opps

Bankless Writer: Jack Inabinet & William Peaster | disclosures

Often, the best plays in crypto appear a little degenerate.

Just like we did last month, we’re covering eight opportunities designed to intrigue your inner degen! Each project listed below has its own opportunities – but all are likely to send risk-averse investors and users running for the hills…

Most of this month's degen action has been tied to friend.tech, and we've got a few tangential plays you might want to check out.

Take note: this guide is for DEGENS ONLY 🦍

🪄 HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu

Website | Twitter (currently suspended 🙃)
Opportunity Type: Ape the Token
Ticker: $BITCOIN
Market Cap: $135M

What is it?
Unlike the Bitcoin that BlackRock is excited about, Ethereum’s homegrown $BITCOIN is strictly powered by memes; a quick glance at the memecoin’s webpage will inundate you with all kinds of dank memery.

The token’s success has managed to kick off a wave of obnoxiously named copycat tokens, like HarryPotterObamaPacMan8Inu ($XRP) – a sh*tcoin that managed to briefly achieve a market capitalization as high as $95M.

Why it’s a degen play:
While it is unclear how much further $BITCOIN has to run, this ticker has emerged as the market leader among a sea of derivative projects. It is possible that this coin will receive the strongest inflows of any in the memecoin sector, given its relative establishment.

Catching a ride on a memecoin rocketship has previously offered some a path towards profit, but it is vital to remember that you are always someone else’s exit liquidity when trading sh*tcoins! Ape with caution, anon.
