Bitcoin and ether are currently trading within recent intra-day ranges, while crypto markets are ignoring positive economic data that boosted hopes of a "soft landing" for the US economy. Instead, degens are focusing on volatility and short-term gains in the meme coin/shitcoin market. Some of the top-gaining Ethereum-based coins of the day include Pegasus SniperBot, Scarab, and Ascend Coin, but potential investors should be cautious of the 5% buy and sell tax and other provisions in their smart contracts. Investors looking for a better alternative to shitcoins should consider promising presale projects like BTC20, which offers the opportunity to purchase bitcoin at its 2011 price of $1. However, investors should be aware that cryptocurrency is a high-risk asset class and this article does not constitute investment advice.
