"How are you going to make back the $45M?"
I want to earn as much money as possible from the @X Creator program over the next 6 months.
From there, I will shove it all into $XRP, as I believe the asset is due for a boom.
"How much has your life changed since losing $45M?"
Not much besides being able to Doordash whenever I want and perceived freedom.
Regardless, money is not what truly sets us free.
"How did you make $45M?"
I was early to the memecoin cycle in 2024.
After making my first $100k, I allocated 20% of my portfolio to $POOPCAT and the rest to $WIF.
At ATHs, these positions were up 350x and 48x, respectively.
Of course, I didn't sell the exact top. I roundtripped a fair amount of UPNL gains.
$POOPCAT was ultimately a loss after took on the role of its market maker, pumping millions into the chart.
After that, I began working for @pumpfun.
My investment in an early round as well as the equity I received for my work was worth 8 figures following the $PUMP TGE.
$TRUMP was another huge win, as well as the entire summer '25 crypto bull run (around when my portfolio ATH was marked).
That's where the tide turned though.
My portfolio started slow bleeding. Crypto was getting weaker as retail rotated into AI stocks.
October 10, 2025 was the nail in the coffin.
From there, I took heavy losses on leveraged altcoin trades, buying tops on worthless shitcoins, getting farmed, etc.
All I wanted was $100m, and ironically, that brought me to where I am today.
I've realized that the $ZEC exploit is actually bullish.
Infinite supply implies that infinite demand also exists, meaning the price ceiling for $ZEC is theoretically $infinity.

if you have made a lot of money in crypto and you feel a general sense of numbness or have a deep need for a higher unreasonable figure then pls message me
i really believe i can help. i don't want anything for this but ive just seen too many ppl ruin themselves due to retarded expectations set on CT
it is a part of the heroes journey to lose it all and make it back but we can do so much better to raise the floor so 'losing it all' doesn't actually mean going to $0
ive been there, it's an extremely weird feeling to have big numbers on a screen and no one irl to talk to about it. then you have ppl online who have no idea wtf they're talking about. imposter syndrome is v real
it really doesn't take much to change your life forever and most of these stories are probably a good friend or even a conversation away from keeping some or most of it. having existing capital to compound from makes all the difference
i don't have an agenda i am just publicly stating that if you are going through this very unique experience, you can message me and i will try to help you through it, just bc i think i probably can
there is no networth ath
i love you
