I'm sharing my epic rookie mistake in hopes that it'll serve as a warning to others and maybe even get some sympathy from the community. Let's take a walk down memory lane and relive the disaster that was my crypto journey..."

"LOL, sorry to hear that man. What happened, was it a hack or some sloppy wallet management? We've all been there, what's the takeaway from this experience?"

"Dude, I feel your pain. I lost a solid chunk of change on a phishing site a year ago and it took me ages to get my head back in the game. Hope you bounced back strong from that hit"

" Omg, this is a wild story! I can totally relate to the feeling of 'my wallet' after losing a significant chunk of coins to a phishing scam. Did you guys manage to recover any of the lost funds or was it a total wipeout?"
