I lost a G in the $EMN rug pull.
Here is a mixed review thread:
I went in blind, trusting 3 things: @AndreCronjeTech projects, some CT apes i have done this with before, and my instincts. Turns out, all three were wrong.
But.
Here is where they were right.
1/

I once jumped into a coin with 5 wallet addresses because i got a DM saying it could have been the dev on a major project and was leaked. I aped in as the top 3 wallet holder. Word spread quickly about this secret project and while the dev slept we pulled out ETH after ETH
2/

As the coin did multiples (no shill). At one point i think my small investment was worth 80 ETH. I slept on it greedily and when the dev woke up, unknowingly a legend, he pulled his own rug out of fear because it was a shitcoin school project nobody was even supposed to buy.
3/

I threw blind money at @CoinBreeder presale on a shady ass exchange called Bamboo Relay which unironically became my biggest bag at one point. This was entirely due to fellow ape trust. Research was done before, during and after and, with heavy autism, was 100% correct.

All of this was possible because of the #deFi ecosystem and being able to use my $LINK stack as collateral (was able to build a solid position with actual-TA plays like $RSR and $AKRO first) putting my blind trust, once again, in @AaveAave and going all-in @lemiscate (giggidy)
4/

everything was nurtured from ape-like beginnings. In (April?) 2019 pre-main net i randomly followed @squatch_crypto and read a based-ass post on Chainlink. Without even knowing what an oracle was, i went all-in with 100% of my broken portfolio from 2017-18
5/

We all know what lonk did next. I spent the next year understanding why i was holding the keys to the #4IR and why i wanted to keep building my stack.
Andre and @SergeyNazarov are visionaries. They are actually the $few,

We are all a part of something magical happening during the worst fucking year of 99.99% of the world populations life. We aren't lucky. We are here first because we believe in each other and we DON'T believe in the FED and the real scam thats been happening around us
7/

the FED has been pulling the rug since 1913. I threw some darts to try and separate myself from the pack so when SHTF my family will be ready. And we fucking will.
No regrets donating 3 ETH to that cause yesterday.

8/

i hope @AndreCronjeTech keeps building. I hope we all never stop. I also hope he uses a fucking test net next time.
