Remember the wild ride altcoins took us on during 2021-2022? That bull run had everything — insane pumps, random coins doing 100x, everyone and their grandma aping into new projects. Then came the reality check. The crash hit different. Portfolios bleeding red, projects vanishing overnight, and suddenly everyone became a "long-term investor."

Looking back at those charts now hits different. That cycle taught expensive lessons about timing, risk management, and why you shouldn't mortgage your house for dog coins. Wild times.

Haha, I must have totally lost my mind back then, all in on Dogecoin thinking I'd get rich overnight. You really have to be a bit savvy—not every pump is something you can catch. That trick is still being repeated now, it's just a new batch of newbies each time. The guys who hyped it up the most back then are all silent now, where did they go? The friend who borrowed money to trade crypto said that was his last lesson—literally paid tuition for it. This cycle is starting again, feels like some people are about to pay tuition again. 2021 was pure madness, dared to touch any coin—thinking back now, it's scary. At least I learned a bit after losing once, but I still can’t help checking the market, haha.

Ha, I completely forgot about that wave in 2021. Looking back now, I must have been out of my mind.

Bro, that period was really a nightmare. My friend went all in on Dogecoin and got completely wiped out. He's still struggling to get by now.

Haha, no, I must have been out of my mind at the time—going all-in on Dogecoin and even using leverage... Now when I look at those charts, I just want to smash my screen.
