What I've learned from this article is that I should be creating memecoins because people are very gullible.

I've been considering it tbh... And I know what my target audience would be even. I just don't know if I want to actually go through with it + if I do, I have to buy Monero with it or something so I could launder it, then somehow explain to the tax authority that I've suddenly got a bunch of crypto I'm selling... Though the last part might not be too bad, as long as I do TELL them that I'm selling it and want to pay taxes on it.
