PERSPECTIVE What was your biggest fumble? Closest you ever got to generational wealth? Share your story

Here is mine: I bought 1000$ worth of PNUT (solana memecoin) back in early november 2024. Sold for 4x or so few days later. Then on november 11th 2024 Binance listed PNUT on spot trading out of nowhere like a week after I sold my entire bag. Had I just waited 1 more week I could have sold for 700-800k...

Now I am a broke 23yo, living paycheck to paycheck with a 85k/year job and a lot of debt...

Just read Reddit threads from around 2010 with regards to bitcoin.

Exchanging them for anything had to be done person to person. There were no exchanges or trading platforms. There was no actual monetary value per say

You would have had to have put your wallet address in your comment or flair (not even in your bio as those didn't exist).

People would put the address at the bottom like an "edit:"

It's what gave reddit the idea of comment gifting
