@Pompapes @onchaindriller nah some people have morals, if he would theoretically enjoy doing that he won't have any self control or moral backing to not do it . which is exactly what happened
Warning to all $CATE holders
I don't usually do these posts, but I've been sitting on this for a while and figured people deserve to see it before they size up a position.
Back in December 2025, I was in a DM conversation with the person now running $Catecoin , goes by " @PoorGoat_ " At the time we were just talking shit about the https://t.co/jfxDxWCWUv meta in general. I made an offhand comment about people rugging live coins at ~$1M market cap, and how they could easily run it to $10M+ first if they had the patience.
His response, verbatim: he'd run it up to the tens of millions before "full clipping" and then retire. Followed by "one day."
After not replying to him, he started to shill me rug companies, which I think was to drain my wallet.
Screenshot attached. Timestamps included so you can verify this isn't cropped or doctored.
To be clear about what I'm NOT saying: I'm not claiming I have inside information that $Catecoin specifically is a scheduled rug, and I'm not asserting he has some countdown timer on this exact coin. I don't have proof of intent for THIS project. What I do have is a screenshot of the person now running it describing, unprompted, exactly this playbook: run it up, clip everyone at the top, walk away, as something he'd be happy to do "one day."
Make of that what you will. Maybe he was joking. Maybe it was bravado. Maybe people say dumb stuff in DMs that doesn't reflect how they'd actually operate a live project with their name attached. I can't tell you which of those it is.
What I can tell you is this: if the person running a coin has told you directly, in writing, that this exact move is something he'd enjoy doing, that's not nothing. That's information. Weigh it accordingly.
Basic ground rules if you're still in or considering an entry:
— Don't put in more than you're fully fine losing to zero, on any https://t.co/jfxDxWCWUv style coin, period, regardless of who's running it
— If it runs, take profit in tranches on the way up instead of waiting for a top you'll never correctly call
Not financial advice, just a receipt and some context I think the community should have before decisions get made. DYOR.
I lost 6.42 BTC overnight.
A little over $400,000 at today’s price.
I noticed it early this morning when I opened Wasabi and the balance immediately looked wrong.
Then I saw the outgoing transactions.
None of them were mine.
What makes this so hard to understand is that this wasn’t Bitcoin sitting on an exchange or in some hot wallet.
My keys were on a Coldcard that had never been connected to the internet and was physically locked away in a safety deposit box.
That was literally the whole reason I used that setup.
No seed in the cloud.
No photo on my phone.
No password manager backup.
No browser wallet.
The BTC had been sitting there untouched for a long time.
Then overnight, several transactions went out within minutes and the wallet was basically emptied.
I spent the next few hours checking addresses, old devices and everything else I could think of, trying to find some obvious mistake on my end.
So far, nothing.
That’s the part that bothers me more than the number itself.
If I’d signed something stupid or fallen for phishing, at least I’d know exactly where I screwed up.
Instead I’m looking at a cold-storage wallet I deliberately made difficult to access, and somehow the coins still moved.
I’m documenting the transactions now and tracing where the BTC went.
Do I expect to get $400k back?
Probably not.
It’s a disgusting amount of money to lose overnight, but I’m not going to spend the next six months staring at a blockchain explorer feeling sorry for myself.
I made the money once.
I’ll make it again.
