1. Keeping your coins on centralized exchanges (CEX) – “Low effort, high risk!”
→ If the exchange collapses (like FTX), you could lose everything. Not your keys, not your coins.
Risk: 9/10
2. Using a hot Web3 wallet without proper security – “Who’s holding your coins? Hopefully not a hacker!”
→ MetaMask or Trust Wallet, but your seed phrase is exposed, you click phishing links, or leave DApp permissions open.
Risk: 8/10

3. Using a Web3 wallet with good security habits – “Smart degen survives longer!”

4. Using a cold wallet – “The final boss level of safety!”

5. Buying new memecoins with no track record – “YOLO max: To the moon or to zero!”

Risk: 10/10
