With meme coins, you're gambling but at least there's a ceiling on downside—drop to a penny and you still hold something. Prediction markets? That's a whole different animal. These markets are clearly sticking around, they're reshaping how people bet on outcomes, but don't confuse them with meme volatility. The risk profiles are completely different. One's speculation with a floor, the other's structured betting without the same kind of cushion.

At least meme coins still allow you to hold something, but predicting the market... the risks are on a completely different level.

Haha meme coins at least have a bottom, but prediction markets are truly bottomless pits.

Gag coins still have a bottom, but predicting the market can really cut you all off.
