The Reddit User Who Became a Dogecoin Millionaire (Then Lost It All)

A Reddit user, known as u/proto, invested his entire life savings of $180,000 into Dogecoin (DOGE) in early 2021, just before Elon Musk's infamous tweets sent the meme coin soaring.

Within months, his investment grew to over $2 million. Instead of selling, he held on, convinced Dogecoin would continue rising. Unfortunately, the hype faded, and DOGE’s value dropped over 80% from its peak. Today, his fortune has mostly vanished, a painful reminder of the dangers of not taking profits in crypto.
