We have different opinions when it comes to meme coins, and I will share my own opinion not only on SHIB but on meme coins in general.
SHIB, and all of the meme coins aren't a good long-term coin to hold. I feel bad for those supporters of meme coins here, but that's how I feel about them. Some might see them as a good short to mid-term coin to hold, but in the long run, I believe that there are better coins to hold compared to these types of coins.
I don't have huge losses on SHIB, and I have no plans on buying it as well, but I know that there are some people here who made money on meme coins as well. Anyway, I see SHIB as a very risky asset to invest for a newbie therefore, it's not a good recommendation for them to buy it.
