Okay, so I got a lot of responses to my ‘how to buy meme coins - a complete guide’ post, and everyone asked me the same question - “how do I find meme coins early?” If you’d like to read that post, it’s here
I’ve asked in several places what people’s strategies are; I’m inside a ton of telegram groups, and I’ve honestly made some good money selling coins (my best return was a whopping 150x). I’m going to share what has worked for me.
There are three main strategies to finding meme coins.
- Understand It Is A Full-Time Job
The people winning are plugged into Twitter, Reddit, and Telegram 24/7. They have notifications on for the right influencers and are literally online all the time. To catch a coin at the right time, and early, it makes obvious sense that you have to be alert.
I understand it’s tough to be online all the time – a lot of us have bills to pay and can’t snipe a coin while at work or when driving to pick the children up from school. A few tips to be online 24/7 without having to be constantly connected:
- Turn off all notifications other than Twitter and Telegram.
- Set notifications for the right influencers.
- Set notifications for the right Telegram groups.
- Keep your eyes on the news.
- Open Twitter once an hour (seriously).
- Use a mobile-friendly trading platform.
Swapping with your wallet while on the go sucks. I’ve missed out on countless early coins because Raydium is slow and my Phantom browser didn’t load the website. I switched to BonkBot on Telegram; if that’s not your cup of tea, there’s another platform, movement.market, that has a mobile app where you can buy and sell meme coins directly with an email and credit card.
2a. Find The Right Influencers
Finding the right influencers can be tough. There are few I’ll give right now - but be careful, they’re smart. Sometimes they shill a coin and dump super early. It’s a dog-eat-dog world in crypto. Regardless, here are a few:
- kookcapitalLLC
- blknoiz06
- TheMisterFrog
- Nobrainflip
- SLITN3Y
- DegenerateNews
- metaversejoji
- Decu0x
- dexnfts
- Kingwilliamdefi
2b. Get In The Right Telegram Groups
It’s challenging to get into the right Telegram groups. Everyone claiming to have ‘alpha’ is often just buying early and then dumping on the group. This makes it crucial to discern scammer alpha groups from the real ones.
Here’s how:
- Join as many Telegram channels that influencers are shilling—I’d say a minimum of 20.
- Keep notifications OFF for everything but those channels.
- If more than 3 channels talk about the same coin simultaneously, that’s a good signal. You might have found a coin.
3. Follow The News And Twitter Memes
The news can lead you to what’s set to launch; ANYTHING that hits mainstream news will likely get memed. For instance, the Jason Calacanis coin became an easy win. He was getting a lot of hate for talking about meme coins, and when I saw his coin pop up in Telegram groups, I sniped it immediately.
Massive coins also have sub-coins that perform well without hitting 100x. Jeo Boden created coins like Justin Turdeau and Nonsee Pelonsee, which don’t pass $1M but can still reach $400k-$500k. This trend also occurs with influencers; when people miss out on the first coin, they tend to join the second. Iggy’s coin hit $100M, Caitlyn Jenner $10M, and Soulja Boy $5M.

Conclusion
If you’re not systematic and smart about this, you’ll likely lose all your money. You’re competing against influencers and insiders in private groups. Only invest what you can afford to lose. This is extremely risky.
