Here's a funny story of a crypto investment gone wrong:
"The Legend of Dave the Crypto Genius"
Dave was your average guy with a decent job, a weird love for bean burritos, and absolutely no idea how crypto worked. But one fateful night, after watching a YouTube video titled “How to Turn $10 Into $10 Million While You Sleep”, Dave was enlightened.
He opened an account on some sketchy platform called “MoonGoose” (he thought it sounded space-y and trustworthy) and found a coin called “ShibaTronElon69” that promised 1,000,000% gains.
“This is it,” he whispered, sweating profusely. “My early retirement is loading.”
He sold his TV, his bike, and most of his houseplants to scrape together $5,000. The next day, ShibaTronElon69 was up 300%. Dave was a genius! He started referring to himself as a Crypto Strategist on LinkedIn.
He even tried to explain blockchain to his grandma using spaghetti and a slingshot.
But just as he was looking at private islands on Zillow, disaster struck. The coin’s creator, a mysterious guy named “@DefinitelyNotAScammer” on Twitter, vanished. The coin plummeted faster than Dave’s confidence on a date.
His $5,000? Now worth $4.73. But Dave wasn’t defeated.
He tweeted: “Just a dip. HODL.”
Two years later, he’s still holding.
And still explaining crypto to grandma.
