Meme coins are the best cryptocurrencies to invest in if you want fast exponential gains, popular pseudonymous crypto expert Altcoin Sherpa explained in a recent Twitter thread.

A recent example of this is the rapid surge in the price and market cap of a meme coin called pepe that was launched on Sunday.
By Tuesday, it was up 21,000% and reached a market cap of as much as $33 million.
Pepe is a token modeled on the internet meme of Pepe the Frog which is often associated with online trolling.
