I haven't read the thread where there was unicorn talk last night because I don't currently wish to deal with the various trolling I will inevitably have spawned. Live by it die by it.

So at one point i was hanging out on a crypto forum. bitcointalk.org. There is even a climate change thread out there where I take on a fucking squad of deniers single-handedly. There was a crowd-sourced token announced on here. One of the very early ones. So you could get 1/4000th of the coin by paying like $40 in BTC and having a unique email address. So I sat and did about 10 of them before guilt kicked in and I stopped. So this project goes on for some time and I don't pay much attention to it but I own 1/4th of 1%? I forget now. I just see a lot of pumping about community and that stuff. Nothing really suggested the token

So at some point people are able to cash out before the blockchain goes live. The main guy in charge of it says he was taken by an auto-completion + spreadsheet mistake on his part and he just shipped off funds to some unknown person. Very sketch. The whole project just didn't really seem to be going anywhere so I decide hey, I will 10x my $500ish investment and have 4.5k. Easy enough. Executed. THen over the next year or 2 I see the market cap grow and grow. It has went down now so if I had held on it appears it would be worth 500k. The peak was 5 million.

I have lots of other stories though but they're just from projects that I let stall out that would have almost been guaranteed to have made me wealthy if I had finished execution and stuck with it. oh well. life isn't exactly hard for me so how can I complain. It was always my own fault. Well, mostly. If there is one thing I am that is a fuck-up.
