lost my savings in a liq pull on a coin called, just want to warn other beginners
Today was kinda rough for me and I am still trying to understand everything. I am a student, and I work part time at a local tutoring centre. I do not make a lot of money, so whatever I save takes me a long time. That is why this whole thing hit me pretty hard.
I am still very new to crypto. I only started around four months ago after watching TikTok videos of people making fast profit on small coins. It looked easy to me, so I decided to try. At the start I actually got lucky. I made a couple hundred usd on some coins and it made me feel like I was doing good. That confidence made me take bigger risks than I should have.
I found a coin on a TikTok live called ShitRocket where someone was shilling it non stop saying it was the same team as CumRocket, which went pretty high. They had the chart on screen and everyone in the comments was saying it will moon soon. I took a screenshot from the live, thinking it would be funny to look at later when it pumps. Now it just makes me feel stupid.
People in Discord and TG were also talking about it. They said the dev is trusted, liquidity will be locked soon, the community is strong and so on. I believed it because I was still new and I thought I understood more than I actually did. I kept adding money until it was basically all my savings. Money I earned from long shifts and money I saved for months.
Then all of a sudden, one candle to 0. The chart went straight down and my wallet turned into almost nothing in one second, i coudlnt even sell. I just sat there staring at it. After that, the Twitter account got deleted after i check, the TG group got deleted, everything was wiped like it was never existed. That part honestly made me feel really shit inside, like I am a retard
I want to be clear I am not asking for money. I am not trying to get donations or anything. I just want to warn other beginners like me. Do not trust random shillers on TikTok. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. And do not think a few early wins means you are ready for this kind of risk.
I feel pretty down about it right now. It took me a long time to save that money while studying and working part time. If someone had a similar experience and has advice how to deal with it mentally, I would appreciate it. Mostly I hope this post helps someone avoid making the same mistake I did.
