Melania coin jumping on the band wagon this morning also. Crashed the entire SOL network, so I couldn't buy it unfortunately. Did get as high as 13000% in the last 24-36 hrs.

Trump is laughing all the way to the billionaires road!!!

I'm trying to get my head around this stuff. What are the trusted, or at least trusted by you, services?

What broker? What exchange? How do you store it... cold or hot wallets? Some other way?

There seems to be so many dodgy and vulnerable operators out there.

I just use kraken. Has a good safety reputation. Does the job for what I need. Moves money smoothly with payid. Instant transactions in and out of the exchange. And fees are quite good as well. I don’t use cold wallet, can’t be bothered. The risk with the exchange is that it can get hacked and funds stolen. Or they can go broke. The risk with the cold wallet is losing the cold wallet. And you still have to move funds between the cold wallet end the exchange. If you go with the cold wallet I heard good things about ledger and trezor.

And I guess the exchange will have limited selection of coins. It took Trump coin around a day or so to hit the exchanges. I think it was already around $20-$30 by then. So exchange probably won’t cut it if you want to deep dive into memecoins. I’m personally trying to stay away from that.

I use NEXO exchange. I have some there as it is stoked and hold some on a wallet.

I don’t think too highly of 99% of coins as they are completely useless and just a speculative product. Work on the bigger fool theory…being that you don’t want to be the one/fool holding when it all comes tumbling down…sell prior if you are lucky.
I only hold btc, eth and sol now…I tend to stay clear of the others.

Thanks guys
I probably won't buy anyyhing (I like the ol' reliable dollar cost averaging of set and forget ETF''s) but it's interesting to look into.
