In today’s digital world, the lure of easy money has led many investors—including dentists—toward highly speculative assets like meme coins. These cryptocurrencies, often inspired by internet jokes and viral trends, can experience dramatic price spikes. But before you dive in, it’s crucial to understand the significant risks involved. At PracticeCFO, our mission is to help dental professionals build wealth securely and sustainably. And from a financial planning perspective, meme coins simply don’t make the cut.
Meme coins are cryptocurrencies created largely for entertainment rather than economic value. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum, which have established use cases, meme coins rely solely on internet hype and community enthusiasm to maintain their value. Some well-known examples include Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. While their rise to fame has made headlines, their financial credibility remains dubious at best.
Unlike traditional investments, meme coins have no underlying asset, cash flow, or business model. They don’t produce revenue, represent ownership, or contribute to any meaningful economic activity. Their worth is driven entirely by speculation, making them fundamentally unstable.
Because meme coins are fueled by social media trends and celebrity endorsements, their price swings can be unpredictable. Many investors buy in at a peak, only to watch their holdings lose value overnight. Without fundamental support, meme coins behave more like a lottery ticket than a sound financial investment.
One of the most dangerous aspects of meme coins is their lack of oversight. Unlike regulated markets such as stocks and bonds, meme coins operate in a largely unregulated space. This makes them highly susceptible to price manipulation by large holders (commonly known as “whales”) and pump-and-dump schemes, where early investors inflate the price and sell off before the crash, leaving latecomers with worthless assets.
As a dental professional, your financial future depends on strategic, well-planned investments. Meme coins may promise overnight riches, but their lack of economic value and extreme volatility make them a dangerous gamble. Instead, focus on building a portfolio of well-diversified, long-term assets that contribute to real wealth accumulation.
At PracticeCFO, we’re committed to helping dentists make smart financial decisions that secure their future. If you’re looking for investment strategies tailored to your profession, let’s talk. Your financial well-being deserves more than speculation—it deserves a solid foundation.

Wes knows what's best for dental practices. He's been doing this for a long time and he sees lots of practices. He can tell me how our practice is doing, and what we can do to increase our productivity. With past CPA's, there were no ideas. It was all coming from me, saying "I think I can do better, but I don't know how." I come in to meet with Wes and he says "You CAN do better, and I know how."
PracticeCFO is in hundreds of dental offices around the country. They know what numbers should look like. They know what percentages of payroll, rent and supplies should be, and they will hold you accountable to those numbers, which will really help you stick to your plan and your path of growth and savings. That is invaluable
Whenever something comes up, whether it's building or practice related and we weren't sure where the numbers would go, PracticeCFO has been instrumental in helping us figure that out. I can't say enough of how important that is - that it goes beyond that initial partnership. They make sure this business marriage works.
When I go home from work, I don't spend a whole lot of time stressing about what my books look like, or how much I owe in taxes. By using PracticeCFO, the burden of keeping track of a lot of the big financial numbers and metrics are taken off my plate.
PracticeCFO helped me develop a plan for the future. I have colleagues that work with other accountants that don't have a plan - they just look at the numbers of the practice and that's it. There's no plan for 10, 20 years from now. But with PracticeCFO, you get that. PracticeCFO makes you feel like you're they're only client.
(In reference to his practice sale) What could've been super stressful, wasn't! When picking John and Wes, it was from word of mouth recommendations and other people's experiences from the past that really did it for me. And it turns out that those recommendations were right on the line.
Wes knows the business side of dentistry. His comprehensive plan will organize your personal and professional finances so you can focus on taking care of patients. Massive ROI.
I can’t say enough good things about everyone at PracticeCFO. Everyone on the team is professional, organized, knowledgeable, helpful and kind. They also respond to emails and phone calls immediately and are always happy to help. They have helped me navigate year-to-year as a business owner. PracticeCFO gives me peace of mind that my business is in good hands.
I love Practice CFO! They have helped me obtain a practice and maintain a practice. They are incredible people who are on top of everything and make owning and running the business portion of a practice easy. They couldn’t be better for my business and my sanity. They have every detail of the business and taxes taken care of where all I have to do is show up and follow their easy steps to success!
Practice CFO has the best tools I’ve seen for personal tax and financial planning in addition to top-tier corporate tax and accounting services. I have been very pleased with the level of quality service. They manage my monthly bookkeeping and accounts payable. It is a great system and saves me a ton of time, and it allows us to have monthly financial statements within a week of month end.
