I just saw a meme coin— it surged 30% on an hourly timeframe, and the turnover rate is about to explode. In the group chat everyone is shouting, “Just go for it.” To be honest, I’m pretty tempted, but habit made me first open their contract and check the permissions. Wow— the owner is still enabled, and they can directly mint. I immediately backed out.

Honestly, in this environment where hardware wallets are out of stock and phishing links are flying everywhere, security awareness feels more real than ever. In the past, when I set reminders and stop-loss limits, I always felt like I was “being weird” for being so cautious—afraid of missing out. But now I feel at ease instead—slow down, confirm every step, and even if you make a little less, you won’t wake up one day to find your wallet empty. No matter how great the narrative behind a meme coin is, once it goes to zero, it’s all gone.
