I remember when meme coins weren't a thing, and some people said it was a waste of time to invest in them. You know, because most meme coins either end up rug-pulling investors or causing them to be dumped on. Altcoins in the other hand seem like a safer bet than meme coins due to lower risk. However, risky altcoins exist as well, but that's a discussion for another day.
Common we should be able to know all these things mate and you should step up, sometimes it keeps me wonderings why people till this stage can not differentiate altcoin correctly instead they misquote the whole thing. Keep this at back of your mind that anything other than bitcoin is altcoin they are both classified as one so there is no difference between altcoins and memecoin they are same thing just that memecoin is just name category were we do have AI coin, Memecoin, L1/L2 coin and whatever but in General they are all classified as altcoin.
