This is one of the most important stories in crypto history โ€” a lesson written in billions ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ“‰

๐Ÿš€ THE RISE (2018โ€“2021)
Terra was founded by Do Kwon with a bold vision:

๐Ÿ‘‰ Create a decentralized, algorithmic stablecoin ecosystem.
LUNA was the backbone ๐Ÿ—๏ธ
It supported UST, an algorithmic stablecoin pegged to $1.
During the bull run:

๐Ÿ“ˆ LUNA exploded from cents to $119 ATH
๐ŸŒ Terra became one of the biggest DeFi ecosystems
๐Ÿ’ฐ Billions locked in Anchor, Mirror & other protocols
People believed this was the future of money ๐Ÿง โœจ

๐Ÿ’ฅ THE COLLAPSE (May 2022)
Then came the nightmare ๐Ÿ˜จ
UST lost its $1 peg.
The algorithm tried to fix it by minting more LUNAโ€ฆ
Which caused hyperinflation ๐Ÿ”„๐Ÿ’€

๐Ÿ“‰ LUNA supply went from millions to trillions
๐Ÿ’ฃ Price collapsed to near zero
๐Ÿ’” Billions wiped out in days
This event shook the entire crypto market.
Trust was broken. Confidence vanished.
๐Ÿ” THE SPLIT: LUNA & LUNA CLASSIC (LUNC)

After the collapse:
๐Ÿ”น A new chain was created โ†’ LUNA (new)
๐Ÿ”น The original chain became โ†’ Terra Classic
๐Ÿ”น Original LUNA was renamed โ†’ LUNC
Most big players leftโ€ฆ

Key efforts include:

LUNA/Terra taught crypto one brutal truth:

๐Ÿ“Œ Algorithms can fail
๐Ÿ“Œ Trust matters more than numbers
LUNC is no longer about hype.

๐Ÿ’ฅ Lessons from Liquidation โ€“ A Hard but Valuable Experience ๐Ÿ˜“

My last trades ended badly โ€“ my $AUCTION and $LAYER positions got fully liquidated, bringing my balance down to $0 ๐Ÿ’€. The biggest mistake? Trading on emotions and holding losing positions for too long. There were moments when I could have exited with a small loss, but instead, I kept holding, hoping for a reversal ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Now, Iโ€™m taking a pause โธ๏ธ, analyzing my mistakes, and rethinking my approach. Next time, my strategy will be different โ€“ actively using stop-losses, reducing emotional trading, and maintaining discipline โœ…. It wonโ€™t be profitable every day, but the main goal is to avoid complete liquidation ๐Ÿšซ.

Every loss is a lesson. This one was tough, but valuable. ๐Ÿ’ก๐Ÿ”ฅ

The Incredible Story of How He Lost 99,000 Bitcoins โ€” Worth Over $10 Billion TodayIn the early days of cryptocurrency, when Bitcoin was still a fringe concept discussed only in obscure corners of the internet, a Chinese teenager named Wei Zhang stumbled upon it by chance. It was 2010, and Wei, a bright high school student with a deep curiosity for emerging technologies, became intrigued by the idea of decentralized digital money. Armed with just $10โ€”his savings from tutoring and odd jobsโ€”Wei bought Bitcoin at a price of less than one cent per coin. That small investment secured him tens of thousands of BTC. Over the next few years, he watched in awe as the value of Bitcoin soared. By 2013, Weiโ€™s modest investment had grown into a small fortune. But rather than cashing out, he envisioned something bigger. A Teenage Visionary In 2014, at the age of 19, Wei combined his technical skills with his entrepreneurial drive to launch CryptoLeap, the worldโ€™s first cryptocurrency margin trading platform. The idea was simple but revolutionary: allow traders to borrow funds to amplify their potential gains (and losses). CryptoLeap was an instant success, attracting crypto enthusiasts from around the globe eager to maximize profits in the volatile digital market. Wei quickly rose to prominence. His early investment and growing business empire brought him immense wealth. By 2017, he held a staggering 99,000 BTC, making him one of the richest individuals in the entire crypto space. But Weiโ€™s meteoric rise was soon followed by a devastating fall. The $10 Billion Mistake In early 2018, Wei received an email from what seemed to be a reputable venture capital firm. The message detailed a promising partnership proposal and included a link to access a secure online document. Eager to explore the opportunity, Wei clicked the link and entered his credentials. It was a trap. The email was a sophisticated phishing attack. The link led to a fake login page that stole his credentials. Within minutes, hackers had full access to CryptoLeapโ€™s backend. They initiated a rapid series of unauthorized withdrawals. 99,000 BTC vanished. In todayโ€™s market, that sum would be worth over $10.5 billion. The crypto world was stunned. News of the breach spread instantly, triggering panic and market sell-offs. Wei was devastated. His personal fortune was gone, and his company's reputation was destroyed. Regulators launched investigations, and lawsuits piled up from angry investors. Under mounting pressure, Wei stepped down as CEO and eventually shut down CryptoLeap entirely. Many expected Wei Zhang to disappear from the tech world. But instead of retreating, he reinvented himself. Driven by the painful lessons of his experience, Wei turned his focus to cybersecurityโ€”the very area where he had once been vulnerable. He became an outspoken advocate for stronger protection in the crypto industry and mentored young entrepreneurs, ensuring they understood the critical importance of vigilance in the digital age. A Cautionary Tale Weiโ€™s story is both inspirational and tragicโ€”a reminder that in the world of crypto, fortunes can be made overnight, but just as easily lost in a moment of carelessness. Today, the value of those lost Bitcoins serves as a staggering symbol of what was and what could have been.

The Incredible Story of How He Lost 99,000 Bitcoins โ€” Worth Over $10 Billion Today

In the early days of cryptocurrency, when Bitcoin was still a fringe concept discussed only in obscure corners of the internet, a Chinese teenager named Wei Zhang stumbled upon it by chance. It was 2010, and Wei, a bright high school student with a deep curiosity for emerging technologies, became intrigued by the idea of decentralized digital money.

Armed with just $10โ€”his savings from tutoring and odd jobsโ€”Wei bought Bitcoin at a price of less than one cent per coin. That small investment secured him tens of thousands of BTC.

Over the next few years, he watched in awe as the value of Bitcoin soared. By 2013, Weiโ€™s modest investment had grown into a small fortune. But rather than cashing out, he envisioned something bigger.

A Teenage Visionary

In 2014, at the age of 19, Wei combined his technical skills with his entrepreneurial drive to launch CryptoLeap, the worldโ€™s first cryptocurrency margin trading platform. The idea was simple but revolutionary: allow traders to borrow funds to amplify their potential gains (and losses). CryptoLeap was an instant success, attracting crypto enthusiasts from around the globe eager to maximize profits in the volatile digital market.

Wei quickly rose to prominence. His early investment and growing business empire brought him immense wealth. By 2017, he held a staggering 99,000 BTC, making him one of the richest individuals in the entire crypto space.

But Weiโ€™s meteoric rise was soon followed by a devastating fall.

The $10 Billion Mistake

In early 2018, Wei received an email from what seemed to be a reputable venture capital firm. The message detailed a promising partnership proposal and included a link to access a secure online document. Eager to explore the opportunity, Wei clicked the link and entered his credentials.

It was a trap.

The email was a sophisticated phishing attack. The link led to a fake login page that stole his credentials. Within minutes, hackers had full access to CryptoLeapโ€™s backend. They initiated a rapid series of unauthorized withdrawals.

99,000 BTC vanished.
In todayโ€™s market, that sum would be worth over $10.5 billion.

The crypto world was stunned. News of the breach spread instantly, triggering panic and market sell-offs. Wei was devastated. His personal fortune was gone, and his company's reputation was destroyed. Regulators launched investigations, and lawsuits piled up from angry investors. Under mounting pressure, Wei stepped down as CEO and eventually shut down CryptoLeap entirely.

Many expected Wei Zhang to disappear from the tech world. But instead of retreating, he reinvented himself.

Driven by the painful lessons of his experience, Wei turned his focus to cybersecurityโ€”the very area where he had once been vulnerable. He became an outspoken advocate for stronger protection in the crypto industry and mentored young entrepreneurs, ensuring they understood the critical importance of vigilance in the digital age.

A Cautionary Tale

Weiโ€™s story is both inspirational and tragicโ€”a reminder that in the world of crypto, fortunes can be made overnight, but just as easily lost in a moment of carelessness.

Today, the value of those lost Bitcoins serves as a staggering symbol of what was and what could have been. But for Wei Zhang, the greatest value may lie in the lessons learned and the mission heโ€™s now chosen: helping others avoid the same fate.
