Why We Keep Betting on Stupid (And How to Spot the Next Implosion)

stupid.com

Let’s cut the copium: if you’ve ever bought a memecoin, you’ve paid to watch a car crash.

The math is simple:

  • Memecoins don’t fail because they’re stupid.
  • They succeed because they’re stupid.
  • Then they fail because we’re stupider.

Take Fartcoin. It peaked at a $300M market cap because someone tweeted a fart joke with a rocket emoji. Then it crashed harder than a TikTok influencer’s credibility. Why? Kaboom. The moment collective delusion meets gravity. That was stupid, but what if you had a success plan? They never want to follow what God wants.

SECTION 1: THE KABOOM CYCLE (AND HOW TO PROFIT FROM IT)

One day, you’ll understand how stupid it is to not look beyond the scope of their fantastical claims.

Phase 1: The “This Time It’s Different” Hype

  • Data Point: UFD (Useless Financial Device) rallied 1,200% in 48 hours because its website had a dancing Shiba GIF.
  • Why It Works: Crypto’s golden rule: The dumber the premise, the louder the crowd. Humans are hardwired to chase shiny things — even if they’re digital dog turds.

Phase 2: The Peak Delusion

  • Data Point: Fartcoin’s Discord hit 100k members minutes before its 80% crash.
  • Why It Works: FOMO is just greed wearing a party hat. By the time CNBC mentions your coin, the exit’s clogged with Lambo memes.

Phase 3: Kaboom (A Love Story)

  • Data Point: 94% of memecoins die within 3 months. The other 6%? Zombies.
  • Why It Works: Kaboom isn’t a bug — it’s the feature. The bigger the crash, the bigger the story. And stories sell the next coin.

SECTION 2: WHY YOUR BRAIN LOVES STUPID

Let’s get clinical:

  1. Dopamine Debt: Every “wen moon?” tweet triggers a micro-hit of hope-chemicals. You’re not investing — you’re slot-machine gambling with extra steps.
  2. Schadenfreude ASMR: Watching Fartcoin burn isn’t panic. It’s entertainment. You paid for the show; might as well enjoy the fireworks.
  3. The “Stupid.com” Paradox: The dumber the project, the smarter you feel for spotting the crash early. Spoiler: You won’t.

SECTION 3: HOW TO TIME THE KABOOM (OR AT LEAST LAUGH THROUGH IT)

Its a denial that one world is ending & we weren’t prepared.

Rule 1: When the whitepaper mentions “vibes” more than liquidity, Kaboom is imminent.
Rule 2: If the community calls a 90% crash a “buying opportunity,” pour gasoline on your portfolio and grab marshmallows.
Rule 3: The only thing rising faster than a memecoin’s MC is its founder’s Twitter follower count. Track that ratio.

CLOSING:

Here’s the secret: the real Kaboom isn’t the crash. It’s the sound of your sanity detonating when you realize you’ll do this again next week.
