I lost $5k on my own coin. yeah… here’s what happened today: after getting rugged/scammed literally 1000 times on Solana, I wanted to prove something — that a coin can actually run without a scam dev behind it. so I launched my own. found a meme, tokenized it (it was actually cute af), but nobody really cared. bonding took ~2 hours. we pushed to 120k mc but jeets never stopped — price kept bouncing between 20–30k. community was ~100 people but only 2–3 actually active. no one bagworking, everyone expecting everything from me, and dumping every pump. what I did: •bought back 160M tokens and burned them •bought 25M and locked for 30 years •paid for boosts twice •spent countless money on volume bots and every dip, I kept buying from my own fomo wallet to keep the price alive… and every time I bought — they dumped on me. honestly I don’t even know what to do anymore. this space is insanely hard when it’s full of scammers and bad actors.
