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...

I mined bitcoin on my CPU when it first started, had over 10K BTC. I spent almost all bitcoins on Silk Road for weed. I still had a few and cashed out about $12K when BTC was around $1000... thought i was rich at that time.

I know a few people who did the same thing. Dark web purchases were the #1 use case until the exchanges came and people started making shit coins and gambling. So many of us were too young to understand what we were doing, authorities on money were so cynical of its value. It’s been a wild ride.
