🚨 My Crypto Scam Experience: What I Learned and How I Stay Safe Now
A while back, I got caught in a too-good-to-be-true token presale. The website looked legit, the hype was everywhere—and I jumped in without doing deep research. Within days, the site vanished, and so did my funds. Here’s what that taught me:
1️⃣ If it feels rushed, it’s probably wrong
Scammers create urgency to cloud your judgment. Always take time to verify.
2️⃣ DYOR isn’t optional
I learned to deep-dive into whitepapers, team credibility, and community feedback before investing.
3️⃣ Never trust random DMs
I avoid unsolicited messages on Telegram or Twitter—most are phishing traps in disguise.
4️⃣ Cold wallets = peace of mind
Now, I keep long-term holdings in hardware wallets, away from the internet.
5️⃣ Question the hype
Just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it’s trustworthy. I look for substance over noise.
Crypto is powerful—but only if you move smart. Stay alert, stay secure. 🔐🧠
