🤦♂️ Sold Before the Pump — Lost $10 Million: One of the Biggest Mistakes of the Year
The crypto market has once again proven that it punishes the impatient. One investor sold 22.1 million Binance Life (BFL) tokens for just $23,000, thinking, “Better a small profit now than a loss later.” But fate had other plans.
Just one hour after the sale, the token’s price skyrocketed, boosted by news of BinanceLife’s partnership with several major DeFi projects. Market hype and FOMO did the rest — the asset surged hundreds of times in value, and the same coins the investor sold are now worth over $10 million.
Analysts note that such stories are not rare in crypto, where prices can swing wildly due to tweets, rumors, or even casual mentions. However, this case feels especially ironic — the investor sold literally right before a historic pump now discussed all over Crypto Twitter.
The incident has already been dubbed the “mistake of the year” — a reminder that in the digital asset market, patience can be worth more than any trading strategy, while greed and fear remain a trader’s eternal enemies.
According to Lookonchain, the wallet that sold the tokens belongs to an experienced trader active within the Binance ecosystem. It appears the decision to sell was made manually — without the use of algorithms or stop orders.
Now the internet is speculating how the investor reacted upon realizing his $23,000 could have turned into $10 million in just one hour. One X (Twitter) user sarcastically commented: “That’s why you don’t close the chart before the candle burns out.”
😬 Once again, the crypto market has shown its true nature — the winner isn’t the one who guesses right, but the one who knows how to wait.
