There’s one type of coin I always swore I’d never touch: the ones that promise crazy fast gains with zero risk. You know the ones—shilled in Telegram groups, pumped by influencers with sunglasses and yachts in their profile pics.
Well… I fell for one. It was late at night, I was tired, and I had just seen a “limited-time opportunity” post for a token I’d never heard of. I threw in $75 without thinking. It doubled… then crashed to nearly zero in less than 24 hours.
What stung the most wasn’t even the money—it was the shame. I thought I was smarter than that. But this space is full of traps, and the ones that hit the hardest are the ones dressed as shortcuts to financial freedom.
Now? I research. I ask questions. I wait. And when something feels too good to be true—it probably is. Lesson learned. But ouch.
