most terrifying moments in your crypto career
>thinking you sent tens of thousands of dollars to the wrong address

>> No.9309830

I get extra autistic when I'm about to transfer crypto
I literally back-and-forth check every single individual character of the address after copying and pasting. Twice. And I also make sure I didn't accidentally highlight & copy a space at either end of the address

How about this:

>hear verge is rocketing beyond the moon
>Exited like i've never been before, having 200K XVG
>Go fetch my wallet to sell said xvg.
>login
>wallet says amount is 0
>turns out coin pouch wallet was hacked. everything stolen
>Darkest december ever, still recovering


A while later, millions upon millions of xvg suddenly pop up all over the place to fund shit with such as the pornhub deal.

>know that the verge hack was an inside job and that the devs robbed their earliest holders, and that my xvg are now resting in some shady pornhub wallet.

Feels. so. fucking. bad.

At the very beginning of my crypto journey I wanted to send my freshly bought BTC to buy some alts at Bittrex, so I just copied and pasted exchange's address. It was my very first BTC transaction so I was very careful with it and thank God I've checked it twice... Somehow just TWO (2) characters in my entire address were completely different from the copy&paste one. How the fuck did that actually happened? I will never know that. I ended up writing my address manually and double-checking it again. That was some scary shit.

theres always next time anon, life is one step forward two steps backwards usually
I bought xrp when it was building, rode it to the top then took the advice of fuckwits facebook groups I follow to not sell, panic sold when it was at its lowest. Took a month off crypto and been making good gains trading between now and then, for all my gains I'm still not at my initial investment yet.
I see the sadness in my eyes every day I look in the mirror
