It's hard to properly understand what a 49,000,000% gain looks like, but then it's hard to understand the value of memecoins in the first place. But yes, those who held Shiba Inu at the beginning of 2021 saw their investment grow by a truly ridiculous 49 million percent, and those who invested in Dogecoin also saw eye-watering returns last year. 

Let's be realistic here, at $19 billion and $23 billion market caps respectively, Shiba Inu and Dogecoin have made their millionaires. These two projects, which were openly 'started as a joke' have gone about as far as they can go, so investors are now looking for the next big crypto for 2022 – somewhere to park their Shiba Inu and Dogecoin gains. 

EverGrow (EGC)

Now you may not have even heard of EverGrow (EGC), as it's the newest on our list, launched at the end of September 2021. EverGrow does, however, have many analysts scratching their heads over the potential for this project to the the first true 100x in 2022. 

EverGrow is seen as the coin that revolutionised rewards (with Safemoon recognised as the pioneers of rewards). When EverGrow launched, it created a real buzz by being the first major project to offer BUSD rewards – a regulated stable-currency, pegged 1-1 with the USD. 

What is so significant about this is that this is the first coin that allows holders to earn a viable passive income, in a currency that doesn't suffer fluctuation. To directly compare to Safemoon, where Safemoon was handing out Safemoon as rewards during its 90% tumble, those rewards were themselves worth less and less – a double whammy. 

EverGrow launched right into the crypto bear market, so despite a lot of price volatility since their launch, which couldn't have been worse timed, their holders still earned over $30 million of stable, spendable rewards. This alone made EverGrow a revolutionary project. 

Beyond that, EverGrow are on the cusp of launching a suite of utilities that if executed well could propel this young project to the heights of crypto royalty. The project itself has firmly set their ambitions on being a top 20 global crypto in 2022, and many analysts seem to agree. EverGrow Coins are certainly worth keeping an eye on. 

Safemoon (SAFEMOON)

Safemoon had a tumultuous 2021, raising like a rocket 'To the Moon' then collapsing 90% over the coming months as promises were broken and core team members abandoned the project one after another. But let's not forget one thing… the Safemoon Army! Safemoon are the masters of hype and have arguably one of the best communities in the entire history of crypto. Safemoon is said to have around 3 million holders, and following the launch of it's new V2 contract, and subsequent closure of V1, Safemoon has seen a significant bounce, almost doubling in price over the last 7 days. 

At a $1.3 billion valuation, it's unlikely we'll see Safemoon 100x from here, but if this project can fulfill its ambitious roadmap in 2022, and regain their previous highs, those 3 million loyal HODLers could see over 400% gains from the current level. 

Dogelon Mars (ELON)

Our list couldn't be complete without a ridiculously named memecoin, and in that particular category, Dogelon Mars takes the gold medal! Named after a combination of Elon Musk's favorite crypto Dogecoin and his name, Dogelon has seen some pretty impressive gains since it launched in 2021 purely based on hype. 

Now we appreciate the irony of talking up a memecoin to replace your current memecoin investments, but at a $900 million market cap, a memecoin like Dogelon Mars, with the right hype and marketing, could well see further upside from here. If you compare it to the coins that inspired it – Shiba Inu and Dogecoin – Dogelon could see a further 10x from here, just for the hell of it!

This one should come with a particularly strong risk warning, because where the other projects on our list have fully doxxed teams working on serious projects, Dogelon Mars is a memecoin, a joke… but that doesn't mean, as we've all learned, that people aren't going to chuck billions of dollars at it!
