Been grinding through crypto cycles since 2018-2019, watched plenty of folks make the same rookie mistakes I did. Lost 200k on an LP rug with a memecoin play on Ethereum—still remember that sting. The thing is, most traders chase momentum on coins that already pumped 100x, then wonder why they're bleeding out. If you're gonna play this game, at least learn from others' scars. Stop FOMO-ing into exhausted rallies. The real lesson? Do your own research, understand what you're actually buying, and know when to walk away.

MEME-12.51%

ETH-3.14%

Able to survive a loss of 2 million, this guy has definitely been through big storms... But on the other hand, it's no surprise that a coin that skyrocketed 100 times would result in losses. --- This is a classic case of survivor bias—you're alive, so you start teaching others? Respect, but stay cautious. --- During the rug pull, he probably had a mental breakdown. Now with this rebound, is he jumping back in again? Haha. --- I'm not saying this to be harsh, but most people don't understand technical analysis at all and still go all-in on memecoins. No wonder they get cut. --- The phrase "do your own research" has been overused, but it's true—99% of people can't do it, including myself sometimes. --- Surviving since 2018 and still sharing rational experiences—this guy still has something valuable. --- The experience gained from paying 200k in tuition is still too expensive for most retail investors.

A blood-soaked lesson of 200k. This guy is serious, much more reliable than those who boast every day.

The principle behind losing 200k, really harsh words. But on the other hand, there are too few people who recognize when it's time to cut losses.

The 200k course fee is damn expensive, but indeed some people still haven't learned yet.

Losing 200k really hurts, this is what paying tuition feels like. I've also seen too many people buy in at the tail end of 100x and then look completely confused.

200k in huge losses... That's why I can withstand a 100x increase without moving.
