Since the beginning of 2025, I have made quite a few stupid mistakes, but this one definitely ranks in the top three.

It was back in January of the early years. During that period, I fell into complete madness — watching the market 24 hours a day, and in a moment of impulsiveness, I poured all my assets into those AI coins that had just appeared 10 minutes ago. Every day was filled with roaring background music, and my girlfriend asked me what was wrong. I couldn’t even answer her. It wasn’t until my account crashed that I finally woke up.

This experience made me realize the true cost of "buying high and selling low." The surge of new coins is indeed tempting, but the risks are equally huge — most of them are scythes. Looking back now, if I had taken two more seconds to think, I wouldn’t have been so reckless. A piece of advice for friends interested in investing in new coins: do your homework, invest within your means, and never put all your assets on a single bet.

Haha, another victim of AI coin scams, me included... Now I see new coins in 10 minutes and I feel nauseous.

Haha, this is me. The moment I put my entire net worth in, I really thought I was going to gg. --- 10-minute coins dare to go all in? I respect that courage. --- My girlfriend must have wanted to smash me back then. Now I think I deserve it. --- Scythe coin is like that. When it skyrockets five times, you're tempted; when it drops to zero, you regret it. --- Doing your homework is so true. Unfortunately, I was brainless at the time. --- Staring at the market 24/7 was really like being a dog. Now I think it's pretty funny. --- It's just greed acting up again. Nothing new. --- Only when the blood is pouring out do you realize what real cost is. The lesson is too deep. --- There are still people repeating my moves now. Sigh. --- Knowing your limits is easy to say but hard to do. I am an example.

Damn, that part about staring at the charts 24/7 really hits home for me, it can seriously drive a person crazy. This is just our fate, we always have to get liquidated once before we learn our lesson.

Haha, ten-minute coins are really playing with fire. I've been hacked too, and my account was directly cut in half. I really can't understand the idea of going all-in on new coins with all your assets. Where's the risk awareness, everyone? That's why I now only allocate 30% to new projects, and the rest is for capital preservation and stability. On my girlfriend's side, it's even funnier. When I got hacked, she didn't want to talk to me anymore, haha.

Going all-in on a coin that just appeared 10 minutes ago? Bro, that's not a stupid move, it's an art.

Haha isn't this just a replay of last year for me? That moment of going all in on the entire position was truly despairing. --- I knew someone would say it was a scythe, but back then I just couldn't listen. --- I totally understand the 24-hour monitoring phase, now that I think about it, it's ridiculous. --- My girlfriend's patience is also incredible, hahaha. --- Only after a bloodbath did I realize this lesson was a bit costly, brother. --- Putting all your assets into a new coin in ten minutes, that courage is truly remarkable. --- Thinking back now, most of those all-in coins have basically gone to zero. --- Two seconds of thinking could save a lot of money, but I just can't do it.

Oh man, that's why I instinctively want to run whenever I see a new coin in 10 minutes. It's really too risky.
