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.

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.
