This loss really shocked me. I finally understand that we should not put too much trust in any project or individual in this crypto market. Everything can be just a clever play to defraud investors: an exchange that grows too quickly, an individual who becomes famous in a short time... We must be cautious and never Now forget to set stop loss orders in investing.
What happened with FTX and TERRA shows only one thing. Even the top projects can still end up as a scam project. Even those at the top 10 or top 50 can end up scamming us investors.
Let's remember that these 2 projects are at the top 50 in terms of market cap and there's a time where TERRA is on the top 10 as well. Because of what happened with this one, I've become more hesitant to invest in lower market cap coins, but I want to make more profit for this bull run phase hence, I re-allocated my capital, and invested I think half of my capital into different lower market cap coins (what I mean when I say low market cap is those who are at the top 51-100).
I want to hear your unhappy stories in this market:
- Which project/token inflicted your biggest loss?
- What percentage and amount did you lose?
- How did this experience impact your investment journey?
1. Pancakeswap. I bought it for $32 and sold it for $2. I'm dumb with that one I know.
2. If my calculations are right, I lost around 94% on that investment with Pancakeswap. I swear I will not touch that shitcoin ever again.
3. It's a huge impact for me TBH, and with that mistake, I learned that I don't need to buy any coins when the bull market starts already. I also learned that whenever I want to buy a coin, I need to wait for it to be in a downtrend before I buy. As long as there's no entry point, I will not buy. I also learned how to use some indicators like MACD, RSI, and MA because of that loss.
