I think the expectations are the same because people find the potential to get rich in both gambling and meme coin investing. In reality, there is a possibility of losing money quickly in both. The difference for me is that there is no technical analysis effectiveness in gambling but in the case of meme coin so the technical analysis can bring good results.
I don't know how to put this or it may sound ridiculous but gambling might be better than meme coin investment, but since we have some legit meme coins, it wouldn't be fair to,generalized all the meme coins as one. Meme coins like doge gave people plenty of return on investment that even real coins couldn't not offer but unfortunately that was the rise of fake meme coins and fake pump and dump coins on pump fun, it was beyond control.
Meme coin are not good investment, they are worse of worse gambling and I will not advise anyone to make investment on meme coins. There are other coins that people can make investment even if though there is nothing that is guaranteed in any altcoin investment. The coin you think will do better this season will not do better the next season, they are just gambling but if you want to gamble on any investment, don't do meme coins, they are not worth it.
