Meme Coins: The Risk Module

Not a recommendation engine — a risk protocol. If you are going to participate in attention markets, the only defensible edge is sizing, exit discipline and honest labelling of what you own.

Curriculum

01Three variables, no fundamentals12 min

Concentration, order-book depth and narrative half-life. Everything else is marketing.

Key takeaways

  • Top-100 wallet concentration above 40% means the exit is narrow.
  • Depth determines slippage; check it before, not after.
  • Narrative half-life shortens as a sector matures.
02The distribution phase11 min

Volume diverging from price while the crowd celebrates is the most reliable warning in this sector.

Key takeaways

  • Rising price on falling volume is a liquidity warning, not strength.
  • Social volume peaks before price peaks, almost always.
  • Take partials mechanically; nobody sells the top on purpose.

What you will be able to do

  • ✓Score a meme asset on concentration, depth and narrative decay
  • ✓Apply hard portfolio caps and mechanical profit-taking
  • ✓Recognise the distribution phase before it completes
