  • As a medical doctor living in Germany, my main reason for investing in Bitcoin was to secure financial freedom in my later years. Unfortunately, that goal was nearly destroyed when I experienced one of the most devastating events of my life — my Phantom wallet, containing approximately €200,000 worth of digital assets, was completely wiped out.

    At first, I thought it might be a network glitch or technical issue. But as the reality sank in, I realized I had fallen victim to a hack. The sense of ... more

  • So Well executed!!

    I am thoroughly impressed with the podcast, it’s been great, clear and informative. Flow is really well done. Doesn’t bog down like others.

    I also think you did a very tasteful job at advocating for the patients with out making it overtly graphic.

  • How I Lost $135,000 in Crypto—and Recovered It

    I never imagined I’d lose $135,000 in USDT with one small mistake. But that’s exactly what happened when I accidentally sent the funds to the wrong wallet address—one with no history, no identity, and no way to reach.

    The moment I realized it, I felt sick. I refreshed the transaction over and over, hoping it was a mistake. It wasn’t. The money was gone, and every crypto user knows the rule that blockchain transactions can’t be reversed.

    I fell in... more

  • Worth it

    I'm gonna be the one to go against what everyone else has said here recently, but I did subscribe partly to be able to listen to this and it is so worth it. I had never listened before and it's probably the best podcast I've heard. At least season one and season two so far I started to listen to the beginning of season four I think it was and it seemed weaker.

  • The offer sounded too good to be true, but I ignored my doubts after seeing the high-yield crypto trading platform and observing the market myself. In hindsight, that should have raised red flags. However, like many crypto investors, I was drawn into investing in digital assets, believing it was a huge opportunity for me. Unfortunately, this led to me becoming just another victim of a sophisticated crypto scam, in which I lost $312,000 in USDT (Tether). It was a devastating financial blow that ... more
