Remember that faggot who posted his "Employee ID" and claimed that Ripple was going to announce IPO the next day which would spike XRP to the moon? I almost went all in with XRP that night. About 5 days later (nothing happened in these 5 days btw) SEC shit ensued. So this would have been a horror story. Good thing I will never buy XRP. Never. No matter what.

I got exit scammed out of about $1000. That learned me good. I think the reason why it didn't irk me that much is because I had a lot of spare money to throw at risky ventures anyway at the time.
However, after the realisation sunk in I managed to lose a shred of innocence I never knew I had. Every time I see someone doing something I can't help but feel distrustful of it lel.

I have a bad one. I bought Bitcoin back in April at around £7.5k, so not quite the bottom but would have been a 3x if I held. I sold it all in like August for some chink shitcoin and I got rugpulled. I lost almost all of what I had and if I had just held on I would have almost 10k now. I was bored because Bitcoin barely moved for that entire period but I've learned my lesson at least

Sup buddy, I lost more than that in the 18 crash as well. I'm now back over a million, though - you can make it as well. Swearing off altcoins isn't necessarily the answer, just because you fucked up there before. Learn what you did wrong!

Bought a shitcoin with 1btc back in 2017
Shilled the shitcoin here on biz and all over the internet
Traded shitcoin here and there

Shitcoin went 25x in a month in a few days day from 400 dollarinos to 1200
Stared at the sell button to receive my 35 bitcoins

Didnt click the sell button
Shitcoin started crashing
Sold for 4BTC

Still daydream about those 35btc and that shitcoin is now worth 2 dollars.

Lost the 4btc trading other shitcoins now have 0.2 left.

I always knew HAIRCOMB was a scam and never doubted that for a minute. I lurked in some of their threads just to read how they are trying to convince noobs to buy their shit.

What I did wrong was that I clicked on some of their shitty links, don't remember which one specifically. There was a mofo doing reverse psychology trying to expose haircomb and pasting some random blog links - I guess he must have been one of them and those links were actual precompiled Github binaries (raw).

I woke up the morning after and my MetaMask wallet was emptied (3 ETH worth in September).

/biz/, I learnt my lesson about not clicking random licks and I never looked back. However, I genuinely hope, from the bottom of my heart, that his/her family gets diagnosed with late stage cancer and he/she watches them die in excruciating pain. I would do anything it takes to make that person suffer for the rest of his life. I hope that whoever god he believes in (Yahveh, Jesus, Allah, Vishnu, Caishen, Ebisu, Satan, etc) renders this person impotent in every physical and mental regard.

In a sleep deprived and greedy mood I got scammed of 2 ETH like a fucking retard. Which is a lot for me, because it was double my gains (I just got out of uni). I don't want to go into the details because of the trauma and I'm too ashamed to tell my gf.

Reading these makes me feel so much better, thanks everyone. Right now I'm trying to earn it back with a bit of swing trading, which is working out so far. What is everyone's strategy on getting those horror tier losses back?
