If today were your last day in Web3, what's a memory here that you would never forget?

For me, it was the first time I got scammed.

This guy approached me and said he could sell me a WL from @projectPXN, the most hyped NFT collection at the time.

Although I had some doubts, those were my first days in Web3 and I didn't know anyone else to ask about it.

I lost 2/3 of my capital in Web3 in the first month.

But that was the first and only time I got scammed. Since then, I've seen plenty of others try the same tricks, but I never made the same mistake again (and hopefully never will).

I still think about this from time to time. And recently, I found that guy again.

He's a TikTok creator now. He seems to be doing great. Always smiling. Posting inspirational quotes. Talking about discipline and mindset.

In a weird way, he did teach me something valuable.

Not just about trust, scams, or DYOR.

He taught me that Web3 will quickly harden you, but if you get through the initial hardships, you'll become sharper, tougher, and maybe a little funnier.

So if today is my last day on Web3, I'll be grateful.

Because being scammed is the most emotional onboarding experience I never asked for.
