About my wealth illusion in WEB3:
This is a sad story about how we are ultimately caught in a high position being toyed with.
The situation is like this: at the beginning of last year, I participated in a KOL round of a GAME type project. The initial valuation was not very high, and coupled with the hype at the time, I invested 10,000 USD and it was quite pleasant.
After going live, it indeed lived up to expectations. Based on the price of the coin at that time, it was definitely a hundredfold god coin. Watching the assets in my wallet suddenly increase by several zeros felt very good, and I even felt a bit unable to resist wanting to take a look at Cullinan.
But —
At that time, we were unable to unlock it; the requirement was to unlock the first 30% after a six-month lock-up. Of course, it was locked, but we had to help others with their work, as that was their requirement. While working, it was actually quite enjoyable because it felt good to see the appreciation of the account value. I was connecting resources, providing technical support, and even spending my time helping projects as a consultant.
The results were happy for a month, but starting from the second month, the coin price began to plummet. By the third month, he told you that there is no lowest, only lower.
So the result is like this:
I invested 10,000 US dollars, and after working hard for two months, I found that I couldn't even break even. So I went to ask someone for an explanation, and they said this was your voluntary investment, and we have not defaulted. We will release the tokens to you in six months.
I am speechless because everything he said is correct, what can I say!
Saying it out loud makes me feel so stupid, but not saying it makes me feel anxious inside. In the end, to avoid looking too foolish, I can only suffer in silence.
Why is this suddenly being brought up now?
Because all the coin prices have risen recently, I was wondering if this thing would be able to rise a bit and break even. Six months later, when I unlocked it, I found that the amount was too small, so small that I couldn't be bothered to claim it. So I hadn't paid attention to it for a while. Then I just went to claim it, thinking that at least I could break even a little bit, but then I found out:
I screwed up, can only sell 300U——
I really have it bad! Worse than a dog!
This feeling is like working for someone for half a year, getting taken advantage of, and in the end, not getting paid while having to wipe my own tears!
