# $2 create your own coin: Pump.fun and the memecoin fever

Someone is literally printing money on Solana. With just $2 in SOL, anyone can launch their memecoin on Pump.fun. No audit, no real project, nothing. Just a name, a logo, and that's it.

**This is how the magic works:**
Connect your wallet → upload an image → pay $2 → your token exists. Then play the link curve: as demand rises, the price rises. The early ones win, the last ones... well, you know.

**The catch:**
- Extreme volatility: your coin can x100 or -100% in hours
- Rugs and scams: the platform is just anarchic enough to attract malicious creatives.
- Ghost liquidity: easy to buy, but selling at a fair price? Another story

If your memecoin takes off and reaches a specific market cap, others $2 in fees to get to DEX like Raydium.

**The reality:** Pump.fun is a casino disguised as a democratic tool. Fun, but deadly for your wallet if you don't know what you're doing. The real investment is not in creating the coin, but in having a community and marketing behind it.

Perfect for experimenting, dangerous for serious betting.
