I was on a weekend-long DeFi Hackathon and came up with an idea. Towards the end, I bailed and asked for my name not to be submitted as I didn't feel like I did a lot of work. Nobody did a lot, but I let my stupid moral compass make the decision. It won first prize and 70k. Open / Comment

Every time my dad FOMO shorts/longs or panic-hedges floating positions, I do the opposite and am very profitable doing so. Open / Comment

I spent £200 on a coin I researched online and was happy when it went to £3500 a few days later, as money was tight. A month later it would have been worth £1,300,000. No regrets just lessons learnt. Open / Comment

I got lucky into a presale that was worth 2m at peak. I could have made 500k at least but shared the allocation with a group of friends. It still haunts me to this day. I could have been set for life but I let go of the opportunity by being a pussy. Biggest regret of my life. Open / Comment

Got my artist friend to do some art for an NFT project. Gave him a good cut (40k). After I paid him, he ghosted the project, even though we needed him to create more content post-mint. The project died and he's since ghosted me IRL and now hangs out with other friends. Open / Comment

I borrowed 30k€ from my father to cover the electricity costs for my miners so I didn't have to sell ETH cheap. I lost the 30k in a crypto casino and ended up selling my ETH to cover the electricity. I still owe my father 30k. Open / Comment

Web3 investors from overseas come to our country (3rd world) because of the huge unbanked numbers and traction of crypto. They hold meetups and workshops to steal ideas and bring them back as Web3 projects. They fuck local communities over with the principles of Web3 being open. Open / Comment

Spent close to half my father's crypto on NFTs with nearly all those projects going to zero. Had one lucky break this past month and recouped over 30ETH to get his stack back. Haven't felt more relieved and stupid in my life. Open / Comment

Started learning how to use adobe software to try to make an NFT project in June 2021. Ended up making an onlyfans of someone who doesn’t exist using deepfakes. In my best month, I made $14,000. Open / Comment

I work on the due-diligence team for speaker approvals for a conference and the number of speakers trying to apply despite only having 2 months of experience in the industry blows my mind. Open / Comment
