$4 My $500 investment is now worth $152, a $348 loss. I didn’t make this money from crypto, so I have enough reason to worry or be emotional about this. I’ve lost money before, believing prices would rise, only to see them never recover until delisting. This is the downside of crypto no one talks about. When they relaunched Luna after the rug pull, many of us bought it at $5; today, it’s worth $0.08. Those urging you to buy are often paid influencers—stop listening to them and trust your instincts. It’s all a game! If you want to avoid losing money, consider more stable options like BNB, BTC, SOL, or ETH, but these aren’t get-rich-quick coins. Meme coins are easy come, easy go. With a patient strategy, your chance of getting rich with meme coins is 2%, while the chance of losing everything is 98%. I’m writing this from experience as a fellow trader.
