💀 The $1,000 That Became $0.11 — A Brutal Crypto Lesson
David was 22.
A student, a part-time freelancer — grinding every day.
After months of hustle, he saved up $1,000. He wanted to grow it fast.
It was 2021.
🚀 Meme coins were going wild.$ETH
🪙 Dogecoin was flying.
💥 Everyone on Twitter was shouting about the next "100x gem."
Then came MoonPaws.
A new token hyped in a Telegram group.
The devs looked active.
The website? Decent.
Even a few influencers were posting about it:
> “Low supply, insane tokenomics!”
“$100 could turn into $10,000!”
“Don't miss this next Shiba!”
David gave in to the hype.
He bought MoonPaws on PancakeSwap — $1,000 in.
It pumped: +10%, +25%... He was pumped too.
But when he tried to sell — ❌ Nothing happened.
He tried again. And again. Still nothing.
🔍 He checked the contract.
It was a honeypot.$SOL
You could buy the token… but you could never sell it.
Then:
The Telegram group vanished.
Website went offline.
Liquidity got drained in seconds.
His $1,000 became… $0.11
A worthless token no one could ever sell.
