In this particular situation I blame the platform. A platform should not allow you to make a trade at huge slippage without providing significant warnings and asking you whether you are sure you will proceed.
Nah!
If we do speak about different variations of $PEPE when we do have thousands in the market already and eventually die after the time they do announce or simply most of these meme coins are just that pure scams.
There are just that those times that you would be that optimistic basing up on what you are that investing because you've been seeing others becomes millionaires with meme coins and once the hype is on the peak then you would be getting FOMO and if that happens then you woudl definitely be trying out to chase it up and thats the reason people do end up on holding up shitcoins into their bags and losing up all the money they do have. There are those times that you do feel like on giving up but in the end of the day you would be that still going back just because you do want to hit up that right spot. In regarding into the thing on whats being mentioned on @OP then this do talks about slippage and other technical things on which it would be truly a disaster if you do mixed up those things or put up on wrong setting or what. Always double check when it comes into this aspect if you dont want to have some disaster.
All PEPE variations are scams, I agree with you. There were so many ones, and they were created in all kinds of models and they all fail. It does not matter if it is a community token or a presale, all PEPE clones fail and they deserve to fail. What is the use case of a pepe clone except to enrich the founder and insiders? There is no community, there are no memes or active people, no utility, no merch, nothing.
