About a year ago, i withdrew $400k worth of stablecoins from FTM lending platform scream and bridged them back to Ethereum.
A week later, scream got hacked and every asset there got drained.

What are some close calls that happened to you?

I bought about $5000 worth of ETHV. One day I heard a lot of bearish stuff and I sold it all. A few days later ETHV had to announce there compliance with a cease and desist order from minecraft.

Tomb shares was my biggest loss/lucky break combo. First I lost almost everything when it was found out the project had a small exploit and the team completely fucked up dealing with it/communication, but I bought 10 tshares as pure memorabilia since that was my original goal. (They were like 10-20 dollars at the time.) Then Harry Yeh revived the project and I bought more, but sold everything at around 17k/tshare since I didn't like what that greedy drugged up bug was doing at the time. It fell pretty sharply soon after, and last I checked it's trading at like $120.

i withdrew everything from FTX before the collapse

Transferred all my crypto from QuadrigaCX to binance 2 weeks before withdrawals stopped.
Also dodge cryptopia and liqui collapse.
Of course now I don't have anything on CEXs

Back right before Raiblocks finished mooning during the tail end of 2017, I had purchased a stack from Bitgrail and sent them to a gaming website so I could gamble with them. A few weeks later Bitgrail became insolvent and fucked over a lot of people. In the end I fucked myself over for not selling sooner, still made out with a 3x.

took $110k out from Anchor protocol through wormhole bridge 24hrs before death spiral, I thank god for giving me the gut instinct to do that.

[Anonymous No.53155738]

Another story:
>want to try harmony ONE
>test bridge a couple of dollars, everything works as it should
>proceed with bridging $200k, bridging process gets stuck
>wait two days, since it says that bridging may take up to two days
>of course, nothing happens
>write an email to support explaining everything
>nobody answers, but i find the $200k in my harmony wallet
I immediately bridged everything back to Ethereum and never looked back to that scam.
The bridge ended up getting hacked and the whole ecosystem died a month later.

- I almost went all in stablecoins to send to celcius to stake during the bearmarket.
- I held a bunch of shitcoins but not long enough to make them ruin me. including REQ which i actually sold for massive profit
- i ddin't go on FTX
- the tax man didn't ask about my cryptotrading
- i didn't get robbed or stolen from
- never lost any private keys or accounts
- sold RLC too early a week before the pump to $20

I did get rugged once though a few months ago i saw a "my rubic stays cubic post" and I bought 500 eur worth for the memes. a week later rubic got hacked and my 500 of rubic was 90 eur. sold and never looked back of course.

I had over 100k worth of BTC on Blockfi for a couple months. 6 months later, Blockfi went down but I had self-custodied right when the Luna shit started to go down.
Whew. Never doing that shit again. My BTC stays with me until the day I die.

Had 0.3btc on blockfi and took it off before they blocked withdrawals. It wasn't a significant amount but still feels good.

[Anonymous No.53157103]

Cashed out of Luna 3 days before it went to zero.

I had all my fantom in a reaper crypt that got exploited, they paid everyone back though which was lucky.
