Don't be like me. I was a retard. I was all-in on a shitcoin. All of my crypto holdings beyond a few hundred bucks were in Truebit. At the time of the hack I had over $10,000 worth of USD in Truebit.

Fact is most of that was from 2021. But since then I had thrown a few hundred into TrueBit here and there and had a couple of thousand dollar purchases. Of course I dabbled with other cryptos, held XMR at various times. But I thought this project was stable, and even if it wasn't pumping like crazy, it never really dumped after years of holding so I was fine just hanging onto it.

It was hacked and I lost all my money. I can't even sell all my tokens for a single penny now because the contract is still frozen. The team has tweeted since the hack but absolutely no plan to airdrop a new token or do anything, they haven't even said that they feel bad for the people holding TrueBit.

And basically my job sucks and my expenses are high enough that I don't really have any ability to keep investing in crypto right now. I could DCA about 300 to 400 dollars a month and I'm probably going to start doing that, but I'm also just frustrated and despondent and have had a very unlucky year so far.

Point of this post is not asking for pity or sympathy, I am warning you not to be like me. Do not put all your eggs in one basket. Do not go all in on a random shitcoin even if it sounds legit. Don't be like me

That's the kind of mistake you make during your first bullrun, not your second. You should have learned from 2021
>>
>>61633160
Not gonna get into the details but yeah I lost money in 2017 but in 2021 I had a 10x and was riding high. Lost a lot of it because it dumped to a 5x then I leverage traded and lost half of that. Bought Truebit at around 60 cents and that just dumped. But I held onto it and just added more here and there over the years because I thought eventually it would go to a dollar or higher, or at least close, and I'd sell. But it never did.

I should have just cut my losses but it seemed like it was a legit project that was going to launch and potentially see big gains. I actually almost bought more recently but I've just been buying drugs instead

too late, I went all in an HODL'd a project that's nothing but a zombie at this point. It ruined me and I had to start over. Fuck me for believing in any of this shit.
>>
You almost bought more? Like a junkie? Dude, crypto is over. I dont know how you managed to be involved since 2017 and still believed in altcoins. I got rekt in 2022, made it back in 2024 and escaped forever. The cohort of potential investors is shrinking because 9 out of 10 market participants have gotten scammed and wont return. Im glad I stopped drinking the koolaid. I was a big believer in bitcoin but it's all bullshit. It's a greater fool thing that has gotten out of hand. The institutions are only involved to make money off of cultists. And altcoins are even worse. Oh well... sucks OP, hope you make it back. I just wonder if you are mentally ill for still believing in the tech or something. I was down like 50k or something insane. that traumatized me and taught me some lessons.

Don't act like bitcoin is the problem. You were warned about shitcoins and you didn't listen.

Bitcoin is also shit it does nothing and it cant be used. The people who shill it are insufferable or mentally ill. Like ''lyn alden''

Buy silver bro. I got burned bad in crypto and I'm not interested in fake ass digital ownership anymore. I will hold and touch my wealth, and the IRS can suck my dick about it since they can't track what I do with my cash.
Good luck.

I would never LARP about being poor and losing shit tons of money. It just sucks, I really thought worst case scenario was a dump of 50% maybe 80 or 90% in an extreme worst case scenario like world war three or another great depression. Never thought this project would get hacked and everything would disappear.

Still waiting to see if the Truebit team tries to do anything, but part of me wonders if it was an inside job. If so, I hope they pay for it

Sorry to hear man. I threw a grand in this back in '21 and forgot about it. I wouldn't hold your breath on getting that 10k back. The reality is no one cares. If it makes you feel any better I lost $20k when livecoin exchange went down last cycle. That one hurt for a while.

top truebit holder anon here. you active on socials? we probably cross paths if so. i sympathize hard - I am/was in top 200 holders and genuinely thought it had the best risk profile in my portfolio. pegged to eth, solid thesis/team. the fact it went to zero is still insane to me.

seeing you held xmr too makes me feel like we're incredibly like minded and i could've easily been in your shoes. i do think they'll have a comeback but probably on jason time which is forever keke. rwa adoption is happening now though so we'll finally see how galaxy brain he really is because he needs to move FAST.

if you're looking to rebuild even one monero is a good goal. just like btc, it'll become unobtainable fast. best of luck anon, here's hoping truebit/jason come through and show everyone what we're made of.

>>61635322
Yeah I'm somewhat active, at least on twitter I basically checked for TrueBit posts daily and often liked TrueBit related posts and commented on them. We've probably crossed paths. I wasn't quite at your level but I was in the top 400 holders, almost top 350

>here's hoping truebit/jason come through and show everyone what we're made of.

I'm surprised Jason Teutsch hasn't posted anything on his account yet. I'm still hoping they try to make it right, either with a snapshot and Truebit 2 token or something. Even if it never got to the same value as Truebit before the hack I'd be happy if they at least tried something.

You people are the target of financial cults. If it's not crypto x y or z it'll be schizo narrative p or q like bbby and all the other generals on /biz/. You guys would be making more money by not following schizo narratives.

Wasn't the code closed source? Why the fuck would you buy into that when the whole point of crypto is that it's trustless?
>>
>>61638126
Yes, it was closed source and the exploit was still manifest in over 40 other smart contracts (by scanning bytecode). Etherscan disabled "search by similar" for the bytecode to keep other vulnerable old protocols safe.

we are just speculators gambling on TRU's gas, Jason is probably on hands and knees for the enterprise customers. he's also a VERY well connected jew, do not under estimate. literal Mossad coming for the hacker. he will do what is best for himself - that may or may not be restoring tru holders

>>61637977
I do have a proclivity for what most would call schizo cults. left curve/right curve look the same I guess. sometimes I wonder myself desu, but I'd bet you're a broke wagie with shit advice anyway

>>61638126
eh, it was leaked but technically the contract was proxied and kind of obfuscated. honestly kicking myself as someone familiar with security, I didn't catch it myself. regardless, to ur point, the idea isn't so different from ethereum's start. start with what needs to be centralized to the extent necessary, then move towards full trustlessness/decentralization. something can't just materialize fully decentralized, it needs to be bootstrapped. LINK was like this in the beginning too. fair point tho

Sucks man. The 'crypto' space is a huge grift. Only bitcoin matters and is ethical. I suggest working on skills so you can generate more income. Money comes and goes and you're not important because of how much money you have. Upskill, get some good money rolling in, and DCA in bitcoin and never look back.

This is the logical conclusion that every reasonable person comes to after being in crypto for a while. Even if you made it big on a coin, even if you made millions flipping a shit coin from $100 into $1m, everyone comes to the same conclusion. All of crypto besides Bitcoin is a fucking scam at worst or VC vaporware at best.
The only people who disagree are delusional newfags or disingenuous scammers trying to convince you to buy their bags.

all you have to do is this:

I may be broke, but I am no nigger

I've had so many opportunities to make it, and I've been afforded nearly every opportunity in life with the exception of good job offers. I may write a long thread about my relative misfortune to see if others can somehow profit from it or at least be entertained. If I had made the right moves, I could be a multi-millionaire by now relatively easily

As much as I'd like to believe that Mossad is going after the Truebit Hackers...is there any reason to think this? Sure, Jason Teutsch is Jewish and he is relatively intelligent and at least well connected enough to know Christian Reitweisser, Vitalik Buterin, and Sergey of Chanilink, but if he really considered very well connected in terms of world Jewry? If so, I hope they come through for us holders. I've always said, with Jews, you win!
