**1200 USDT Gone in 2 Seconds.**

I’m still in shock. I just watched my money evaporate in front of my eyes—no warning, no mercy.

I thought I was making a smart move. Saw $ALPACA dipping, figured I’d short it. Standard stuff, right?

**Then—BOOM.**

In less time than it takes to blink, the price **exploded from 0.07 to 0.30.**

My position? **Liquidated.** My money? **Gone.**

This wasn’t a normal pump. This was a **calculated slaughter.**

They **knew** traders were shorting. They **waited.** And then—**BAM**—pulled the trigger, wiping out everyone in seconds.

### **This Isn’t Trading—It’s a Trap**

- **Liquidation hunting?** Check.

- **Obvious manipulation?** Check.

- **My trust in crypto?** Shattered.

I’ve taken losses before, but this? This felt **personal.**

### **A $1200 Lesson**

- **Total loss:** 1200 USDT (my hard-earned cash)

- **Emotions:** Devastated, furious, betrayed

- **Lesson learned?** Some "altcoins" aren’t just risky—they’re **predatory.**

**Be Warned**

If you’re trading $ALPACA or any low-cap coin with high leverage, **be careful.** The game is rigged, and you’re the target.
