The post here’s why BEER token is sinking appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Beercoin, the highly popular Solana meme coin, has slumped hard in the past few days. After peaking at $0.00057 this month, it has slumped by over 68% to trade at $0.00018.

This prediction was correct as the token has plunged by over 50% since then. On the three-hour chart, we see that the Beercoin token peaked at $0.00056 last week and then…
