    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.

        Yeah, the tax man doesn’t care how you got it, just that they get their cut. Just don’t be stupid and not declare that income… They will know.
