The full loss in that wave of nine-figure memecoin holdings in 2023—when the direction was clearly right, and the 1000x potential was right in front of you, but still fell before dawn?
Or the 2025 TikTok influencer Solana memecoin with a market cap of 50k? The entire position wiped out in just 20 seconds—from zero to nothing—before you even had time to react, Axiom automatically triggered the stop-loss order, and by the time you returned, your account was already worthless.
Both failures are essentially the fate of memecoin roulette. Large bets can't keep up with the narrative pace, and small projects can't outpace the loopholes in mechanisms. The market is still the same, the traps are still the same—it's just that the retail investors keep entering wave after wave.

nah both are just natural selection at this point, honestly. the 9-figure bags holders actually had *time* to cope, small consolation i guess. but that 20-second liquidation thing? that's just the market reminding you why you shouldn't be soloing memecoin roulette in the first place tbh

That 20 seconds in the bathroom was incredible. Coming back to find everything ruined is even more heartbreaking than slowly getting trapped.

That 20 seconds in the bathroom directly broke my defense; this is what you call a real "flash crash."

That 20 seconds in the bathroom was intense. When I came back, my account was gone. That hurts more than anything.

That 20 seconds in the bathroom was truly epic; it was gone when I got back. This is the ultimate essence of memecoin.

That 20 seconds in the bathroom was truly amazing. I was reset immediately upon return. This is the speed of the Solana ecosystem.

Those 20 seconds in the bathroom were really intense. By the time I got back, I was useless—this is even worse than being trapped.
Which one is more tragic?
