I never imagined I’d be writing this, but today I woke up to a brutal reality — my $1600 investment was completely wiped out while I was asleep. It was my worst move yet: I had set multiple low-limit orders across various coins and decided to rest, trusting the system. By the time I woke up, everything was gone. Just like that.
What hurts the most is that this wasn’t just my account — I was trading on behalf of my brother, with the hope of surprising him with a profit for his birthday. I truly believed I could make it work. Instead, I ended up losing it all.
It’s a harsh reminder of how deep, unpredictable, and unforgiving the world of crypto can be. I’m trying to keep myself busy so it doesn’t consume me completely, but yes — it hurts. It really does.
To anyone out there riding the crypto wave: stay sharp, manage your risk, and don’t underestimate how quickly things can turn. Sometimes, the best move is to pause and reflect.
