'I Lost Everything'—Trader Turns 0 Into $5 Million, Loses It All With Meme Coins That Were Supposed To Become The Next Dogecoin, Shiba Inu

An unlucky trader shared his story of turning nothing into $5 million over the course of the crypto bull run, only to lose it all again with meme coins.

What Happened: Pseudonymous trader 0xforeverblind, shared his devastating losses on X on Tuesday, revealing that he had gone through two crypto cycles—both times losing everything.

Despite making over $5 million, he kept buying dips in meme coins like Popcat POPCAT/USD, Gigachad GIGA/USD, Mumu The Bull MUMU/USD and Retardio RETARDIO/USD, which later collapsed by 90-95%.
