The currency went up, and the investment was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. The company also had a stable coin worth $1 linked to the Luna cryptocurrency. The more stablecoins were minted, the more the Luna token was taken off, and the market price increased. The reverse eventually, of course, applied as well. But this was the big hype coin everybody was talking about. Big venture capital firms were in it, and the Founder was the poster child on social media.It all came tumbling down eventually. Interestingly, shortly before Lark invested, his research assistant, who does the deep dives for the Wealth Mastery reports, did a report on the Luna crypto and concluded that it smelled fishy and didn’t like the idea of investing in it. Lark, however, went ahead and invested.By the time the coin started going on a downward spiral, Lark’s Luna position was around $100,000. That went to zero in about three days. Luckily, he didn’t ride them to zero. He sold them for around $6, but his profit fell to zero. He also had about $700,000 of stablecoins, in which he took a 20% loss.Lessons learnedNever put your profits into something that could go down.Take your profits, put it in your bank, and run away.Fully understand all aspects of risk exposure.Crypto’s learning curve is massive.Andrew’s takeawaysSeparate your wealth or profit from speculation money and put it in a safe place that won’t go down.When it comes to human behavior, always expect a herd mentality.Actionable adviceGo slow on-chain and test the waters first before you put 100% of your money into it.
