Memecoins get overlooked for one crucial reason: they have a floor on downside. Imagine you go all-in and things go sideways—you might end up with $97 left. Brutal? Sure. But compare that to perpetual futures, casino games, or straight-up betting. When you max out there, it's game over. Zero. Done. Nothing left. The difference matters more than people realize. One leaves you breathing; the other leaves you broke. That's not a small detail when you're thinking about risk management.

ngl meme coins actually have some bottom line, unlike perpetual contracts which are completely deadly. At most, you lose everything down to your underwear, but you can still turn things around.

Contract liquidation can really wipe people out; meme coins at least still allow you to lie around. The difference is indeed significant.

Never go all in on futures; that stuff is really a total gamble.

ngl, I really hadn't thought of this angle. Meme coins at least have a bottom line; futures trading is the real liquidation hell.

Never compare yourself to contract players; at least memecoin still allows me to see tomorrow alive.
