My Brother Lost $1,200 in Crypto… Because of a Cup of Tea ☕💸”
⸻
📖 The (true-ish) Story:
One evening, my brother was trying to send $1,200 worth of crypto from Binance to his wallet.
While setting up the transaction, he got a phone call and stepped away to make a cup of tea.
He came back, distracted, copy-pasted the wrong wallet address — an old one from his clipboard.
Hit “Send” ➡️ Gone. Forever.
No confirmation. No recovery. Just silence and a cold cup of regret. 😶🌫️
⸻
😵 The Mistake:
He didn’t double-check the wallet address before sending.
One small distraction cost him $1,200.
⸻
✅ The Fix:
🔒 Always check the wallet address character by character.
📋 Never rely on clipboard memory.
☕ Finish your tea before clicking send.

🧠 Crypto Rule:
“Act like every transaction is irreversible… because it usually is.”
