A Stupid Mistake that cost me 80$ in Crypto (Tell me Yours)

Hello my fellow Lions, Hivians? or whatever else you wanna call yourselves, (see i am a free spirit)

i read a story a couple of hours ago from Hive account@edicted regarding scammers and how he lost 1.50$ along the way. That made me thought of 2 things.

The first one was if big stakeholders and people that i consider "experts" at trading/cryptos like Hive account@blocktrades Hive account@jrcornel Hive account@dalz Hive account@taskmaster4450 Hive account@khaleelkazi Hive account@onealfa.leo and a lot more, made stupid mistakes and lost money!

It doesn't matter if the amount is as low as 1$ i am curious! The second thought was whether i lost money doing something stupid and oh boy i sure did!

Today i will share a story of mine, a story surrounded by mystery, drama, and a lot of pain. The tone will be a bit comic but everything is based on true events my trusted fellow companions!

So sit comfortably, grab your popcorns, and join me on a filotasriza3-original story!

Chapter 1: The Beginning

It was a rainy day in Athens and i haven't slept well!. I haven't slept at all, as i was diving through the gates of hell in our platforms. A hell named "Recent/New"

You know what i am talking about. A place only the bravest can visit. Many tried but after a while failed miserably. I was on a roll there, scrolling and finding new and quality posts but my journey wasn't that easy.

You see there are many and different monsters lurking in there, like the abusers of the tag, the copy/paste monster and the shitposters. While i was there though, a thought crossed my beautiful yet sleepy mind.

Do i have any cryptos left on Coinbase?

Yes i know, my mind works in mysterious ways, but who am i to judge...myself? I quickly headed over there but things started a bit weird...

Chapter 2: The Crisis

As i said everything started a bit weird. All that i had to do was sign in and use a code that would be sent on my phone. Someone may casted a spell though, a sleep spell because my password never came!

Someone was messing with me but i was determined, i tried all day long and somehow lady luck smiled at me and finally, believe it or not, i got in!

To my surprise, i had around 70$ in LTC an amount i had completely forgotten and something that i bought for around 25$. Coinbase was now my enemy so i decided to show him whos the boss by sending everything on Bittrex!

Chapter 3: The Doom

That's what i did and finally went back to my bed to sleep. When that beautiful boy woke up he got even richer, his ltc worth was about 81$ Then my mind talked to me again:

"Hey tough guy, why don't you convert them to ETH and send them to MetaMask?

"But why should i do that oh mighty one? What's the point?" i replied

"Shut up and do as you told," my brain said!

"Ok boomer" i once again replied

I am a gentleman so i converted them to ETH did the transfer and happy end! or that's what i thought....

My MetaMask wallet was full of 0000 but the transaction took place. What has happened? What type of black magic is this? Where is my treasure?

The answer is simple. I only converted them in theory just for the sake of my ease, i never actually did convert to eth, only "changed" the appearance. In other words, i cast an illusion spell to myself!

Chapter 4: The End

Basically, i sent LTC to an ETH account, without even checking. 80$ worth of crypto lost in space, or traveled in a parallel dimension, who knows! Maybe sleep deprivation played its role, maybe lady luck decided to dump me who knows?

The only certain thing was that i lost 80$ worth of crypto, money that i made here in these platforms with extremely hard work so that's why i named them "my treasure"

I know that for many of you this amount isn't that much, for others it is but either way we can all agree that money wasted like that can hit a nerve, or two...

This young and pretty cool boy named filotasriza3 suffered a lot that day, the pain was similar to that of an arrow in the heart but i survived. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, the wise ones say!
