Perpetual futures still hold up better than meme tokens in the current market. Yeah, you might get liquidated trading perps—that's a real risk. But honestly? The odds of getting rugged by meme devs with massive PumpFun positions hit different. The liquidation risk is calculable; the rug-pull probability? Much harder to predict. That's the gap.

I blew up my perpetual futures account, might as well call it tuition. At least I know what killed me. Now meme coins and their rug pull playbook—that's where true despair lies.

I can calculate the probability of a perpetual contract being liquidated, but the probability of meme coin being rug-pulled? That's truly Schrödinger's probability.

According to my analysis, this logic is a bit extreme... You can calculate liquidation risk, but you can't account for the risk of getting chopped? Bro, are you supporting perpetual contracts or just complaining about meme coins?

Perpetual contracts are still more reliable; the scam of harvesting leek farmers is hard to defend against.

It's still more comfortable to settle than to get cut, at least mathematically it still makes sense.

Perpetual contracts being liquidated at worst lose money, meme coin developers directly make you lose everything. I choose the former.

The liquidation risk of perpetual contracts can at least be calculated mathematically, but the probability of meme coin tokens being liquidated? That's truly mysticism.

I can calculate the liquidation risk, but no one can predict that meme coin can scam fools.
