I’m the only one to blame, and it’s all my fault.
I got into cryptocurrency in 2021 by putting 700 dollars into Shiba Inu; this was before the crazy pump; so after 5 months, my 700 dollars had turned into 6000 dollars; it was my first time (insert meme here), so I didn’t sell, and I saw it all come down to around 1500 dollars.
I put half of that into my bone and held it for a while. I was doing my own research and realized that mostly hype overshadows utility, but utility is still important, so I decided to put 2000 dollars into BONE, and I now owned slightly more than 8000 BONE.
As Bone gradually went up, I began taking a small portion out and investing it in other projects that I believed had promise. As Bone approached $1, I put about $2,000 into a new coin that went more than 25 times in 2 months (purchased at 0.0006 or so and reaching its total peak at 0.025 cents). It’s the bear market, and here I am making nearly $70,000 from my initial $2,000 investment.
Not long after, I found another project that I downloaded the wallet of onto my computer that had a key logger, and about one month later, my Metamask, Zelcore, and other wallets got drained. I didn’t share my passphrase, but I did log into my accounts from time to time, and this is how they got me.
All I have left is about 300 dollars that I held on another exchange, and it hurts so much, but I will recover. I invested only what I could afford to lose, and I did lose it. Wish me luck next time.
I’ve learned my lesson and will approach security much more carefully now.
