My phone vibrated, not a notification, but the echo of my last $600 hitting zero. ADA at 100x. The chart blinked mockingly. My hands were shaking. For a good hour, I just stared, numb. Then came the anger. I remember pacing, yelling at the screen like it could hear me. *It’s gotta bounce back, right?*
The next 24 hours? A blur of denial and desperation. I topped up again, another $100 – straight from my grocery money. YOLO on DOGE, 50x. Just to 'get it back.' That one lasted maybe ten minutes. Then SOL, 20x. It was a stupid, emotional spiral. Sleep didn't happen. By morning, I was empty. Not just my account, but my gut, my head. Took me a long time to forgive myself for that night. What did you do after your first hit?
