I was able to dodge Celsius and such, but eventually came across a small local group of traders in 2023. They had a really impressive track record, taking money only from friends and families, basically flying under the radar of bigger whales. I was intrigued but was able to keep watching from the sidelines up until September 2024. But of course, luck run out eventually. Their trader got hit hard in late 2024. The protocol stated, should this ever happen to halt all trades and consult with us “clients”. They didn’t. An attempt to cover it up has occured down the line and they went for bigger leverage eventually blowing it all up. Or most of it. Noone really knows at this point for sure. Maybe I get something back but for now it’s a big fat ZERO. Such a waste. 5 years of saving. Money that in a few years could mean a very comfortable retirement money. All blown away by my greed.
