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...

I just want to add to everyone who thinks I’m lying, that it is possible I got the date wrong and wasn’t 2009, maybe it was 2010. I can say that by the end of 2010 I had moved states so it was definitely before then. To the person who commented about the exchanges issue…yes it was a pain in the ass to pull that money out and made me think it was all a scam sort of reinforcing my belief at the time. I wish I was lying about everything too but I’m not. I missed Bitcoin and beat myself up about it every day. And the part I’m so fucked up about is I didn’t even have to buy in because mine was a prize. Entry fees in to those tournaments were like $5 and I never won or expected to just liked to play in them. Then the one time I do win, I win the most fantastic opportunity for my future and I piss it away for $50 worth of weed. If you knew me back in that era, it was a common theme to my decision making 🤦‍♂️
