Ever noticed how we always blame memecoins for wild price swings? Here's the thing—they're not even close to the worst performers out there.

Take a step back. While memecoin traders get roasted for their losses, plenty of other assets have tanked way harder. Small-cap altcoins, failed DeFi projects, abandoned NFT collections—these things have shed 80%, 90%, sometimes more. Traditional penny stocks? Don't get us started.

The narrative around memecoins tends to be one-sided. Sure, they're volatile and risky. But at least there's community, liquidity, and actual trading activity. Compare that to some forgotten token sitting on a shelf gathering dust, or a project that exit-scammed entirely.

This isn't defending memecoins—it's about putting things in perspective. If you're getting wrecked in crypto, it might not be because you picked the wrong meme token. Sometimes the real killer is poor timing, leverage abuse, or honestly just betting on the wrong category altogether.

The lesson? Stop focusing on memecoin hate and start asking which assets are actually worth your capital—and which ones are designed to fail from day one.
