In the space of a few hours, Nick lost around $60,000 from the $150,000 he had accumulated over five years in his virtual wallets.

Most of his holdings were in Dogecoin -- a meme coin backed by billionaire Trump ally Elon Musk

.

Two words of advice for Nick:Gold, silver.

In the space of a few hours, Nick lost around $60,000 from the $150,000 he had accumulated over five years in his virtual wallets.

Nick got exactly he deserves. Crypto is nothing but ponzis with a different name.

He’s gonna pump this, sell it, and walk away. There is no way he’s gonna allow the fed, to give up control of the dollar for 1s&0s that is so volatile it makes inflation look tame. It doesn’t produce anything. At least with gold I could make a ring out of it. Even with tulips we could plant them and have some flowers. Some will no doubt get rich. And some will lose. I’ll stick with buying apple, Google, Etc etc. if I could I’d take punt, but it would be like going to the horse track for me.

"It took a huge toll on me physically and mentally and I was just like 'I need to stop

All that drama cause he lost $5000?

even “Nick” didn’t lose any actual money, just some of what his account gained over the five years.

Sure, I wish I had bought some Crypto when it was cheap, but it still sounds like one big scam. I hope it doesn't cause a huge world wide economic crash.
