2022 was a rough year for Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, Dogelon Mars, Baby Doge Coin and Rich Quack. But, guess which 3 of those 5 outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum!
Everybody loves memecoins. If you don’t have at least one animal-themed token in your wallet, can it really be said that you’re invested in crypto? Still, memecoins aren’t exactly considered “stores of value,” with their high volatility and, in many cases, extremely low utility.
Let’s take a look at how the five most popular memecoins performed, in terms of price action, during the 2022 bear market. You might be surprised to see that most of them outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum!
The value of Bitcoin has dropped 64% since Jan. 1, while Ethereum dropped 68%, according to CoinMarketCap.
As you can see, 2022 was a year of massive losses throughout crypto. The two largest coins and the most popular memecoins suffered alike. While you were better off holding $DOGE, $BabyDoge and $QUACK than either $BTC or $ETH -- the best bet would have been to have your funds in fiat or $USD stablecoins ... er, well except for TerraUSD (which is down 98% on the year!).
