Confessions of a Crypto Adventurer:
Between Dreams and Disillusionment
Chapter 1: An Unexpected Entry into the World of Crypto
My name is Emmye, I’m 29 years old, and I don’t work in IT or web development.
I’m just a modest person, full of motivation and conviction.
In 2020, I discovered the world of cryptocurrencies, but only as an investment, creating a modest wallet.
Little did I know how complex and ruthless this world could be.
Chapter 2: An Idea Born from an Innocent Moment
On August 1, 2024, while watching a cartoon with my 3-year-old son, an idea came to me.
I thought it would be amusing to create a community of « beggars » chasing after wealth—of course, with humor.
What started as a fantasy quickly took shape in my mind. I discussed it with my brother, who is involved in crypto, and he found the idea original. He eventually agreed to help me bring this project to life.
We contacted different people for the creation of the characters and the website because, yes, a website was needed.
Although I’m not wealthy, I decided to finance the creation of the site.
Chapter 3: The Project Begins
Once the site was ready, we created a Twitter account for the project. Sure, we were a bit lonely on that platform, but at least the project had an online presence.
We then started listing our project on various networks. We initially opted for the TRON network, then added Solana.
To do this, I used the Sunpump platform for TRON and Pumpfun for Solana.
Chapter 4: The First Disappointments
We were advised to create a Telegram account because it’s a platform widely approved by the crypto community.
So, we created an account and joined the Pumpfun community.
That’s when everything started to go wrong. After my first post, within 5 minutes, I received more than 85 messages.
Desperate, I tried to respond to everyone. Naively, I put some messages aside, thinking they offered useful services.
After responding to about ten messages, I realized that all these messages were promotions, not potential clients. The reality check was harsh, but I didn’t give up.
Chapter 5: Falling into the Scam Abyss
Shortly after, we were told that we needed to build a community.
I trusted someone from the group who helped me set up the channel and management bots.
Up to that point, nothing too dramatic. But then, everyone started telling me that we needed to do advertising, calls, raids, etc.
Once again, I was lost among the 60 people offering these services, all at different prices.
I eventually followed the advice of the person who had helped me on Telegram and turned to a Chinese group.
Chapter 6: The Final Blow
The leader of the Chinese group asked me for payment in advance after I sent him the link to my site and the Shill.
I paid, and that’s when the hammer dropped: he told me he only had Chinese clients, and that I would need to translate my site for them. I couldn’t believe my ears.
He offered someone to do the translation, claiming it would be « free, » but that he would check the price for me.
Imagine my shock and anger when he told me I had to pay because the translation had already started.
Chapter 7: A Hard Lesson Learned
After more than an hour of negotiation, he finally agreed to post my project in a group, and that was it.
I left the page open with my meager 13 views until, suddenly, the post disappeared and then reappeared with 4.7k views, accompanied by the word « modified. »
The scam was obvious.
Once again, I had paid for a service without any results.
Chapter 8: A Ruthless World
Things weren’t any better on Twitter.
Accounts with thousands of followers offered to share my project, promising me hundreds of clients.
Once again, I paid, and although a few people visited my project, the majority weren’t interested.
In just one week, I fell victim to three scams on Telegram and three on Twitter.
Chapter 9: The Harsh Reality of Trust
Through these experiences, I realized how difficult it is to trust people, especially when money is involved. These events opened my eyes to the cruelty and opportunism of some individuals.
From now on, I’m going to focus on my little family life, especially on my son, whom I unintentionally neglected during this month of relentless effort to save this project.
Chapter 10: The End of an Adventure
Today, I’m not seeking help or sympathy.
I just want to inform you that this project,
which was meant to turn beggars into millionaires, is likely to end in failure.
What was supposed to be a fun adventure has turned into a bitter lesson.
I want to thank the few people who supported me and kept their spirits up with me until now.
Thanks also to those who invested in my project and placed their trust in me. I promise to ensure that everyone can recover their investment before
I close the project. I apologize for not being up to the task, and I ask for your forgiveness. If you wish to recover your funds, you can do so now.
I’m not setting an end date because
I’ll wait until everyone has done what’s necessary.
Sorry x1000
Thank you for this adventure, whether good or bad, it will remain unforgettable.
