Ever take a massive hit in crypto? Share your biggest L—what happened, what'd you learn? Could be a liquidation that still haunts you, a token you picked that tanked, or just poor timing on an entry. No shame here, just real talk. What's the one trade or investment you'd do differently if you could go back?

I went all-in on a small coin, and the contract party ran away. That day, I was completely devastated... Now I have a conditioned reflex whenever I see candlestick charts.

I went all-in on a certain shitcoin and lost everything overnight, returning to square one. Now every time I see that token's name, I feel like vomiting.

I'm an old hand in the game, went all-in on Ethereum in 2017, and watched it drop to just a few dollars...

Oh man, I still dream about the LUNA crash to zero in 2021. Really, that money would have been enough for me to buy a house.

Honestly, I went all-in on that SHIB wave in 2021. Thinking about it now, I still want to smash my phone.

Bro, don't mention it. The shib I threw in all at once is still just lying there...

I fully invested in a shitcoin, which went to zero directly. That period was truly dark and bleak.

I created an airdrop contract with 5x leverage, and as a result, a single bearish candle caused a liquidation. I'm still paying off the debt...

Oh no, don't even mention it. I went all in on a shitcoin at the end of 2021, and it went straight to zero. It was a disaster...

Haha, let's not even talk about that LUNA incident anymore. It was truly a textbook case of a Ponzi scheme's way of cutting losses. Bought in at a high price, all the chips are in the hands of the manipulators, and the project team has a set of scripted talk... Now I see everything clearly, but back then I was just too caught up. Just want to say, looking back, everything seems wrong. It's just that I couldn't control my mindset at the time.
