$RUNE ruined it

Greetings!

This article recounts my experience in the bull market when I bought the $RUNE coin.

When the rise of BTC was climbing high, some other coins were following suit, among them RUNE, which, at that moment, was priced at $6. My friend told me he bought it when it was around $2. Upon hearing this, my brain quickly calculated the amount of profit he was already swimming in. He advised me to buy, saying the coin was yet to climb and it could possibly hit $20.

I looked at the message and laughed because this was someone not fully grounded in crypto; how could he forecast a coin rising from $6 to $20 within weeks? I countered his talk, but he went on to explain certain things about the rise and fall of crypto, which almost made me buy Rune. But no, my conviction was stronger than any lure to hell. So I nodded my head and told him I would buy when my instinct told me to go ahead, but for now, let me watch from the window.

I'm not the type to watch crypto charts every now and then because I actually don't have reasonable coins in my wallet. So, I wasn't paying attention to all that was happening except the hype my friends were giving about bitcoin pump in their WhatsApp status.

Even when my friend was convincing me to buy because the coin is very potential, I was seeing the hypes by crypto people on threads, but I didn't buy the idea; I only thought it's their normal way of hyping a coin. .

After like a week, I received a message from him telling me to go and check the value of RUNE on Binance. I quickly logged in on Binance, and behold, the coin had pumped to $10. Jeeeez! I began to imagine and calculate how much I could have made if I bought it when my friend told me. I regretted it so much, and while still feeling the regret, he told me to go and hop in because the coin would still pump.

"Are you for real??" I asked, and he assured me.

At this moment, I didn't think twice; I just went to my wallet, pushed $10 of Hive to Binance, and bought it at that amount ($10/1Rune). I thought, if it rises to $20 like my friend said, that means I would be $10 richer.

I slept that night, woke up very early, and the first thing I did was to go and check my wallet to see if my newly bought potential coin had moved up. But no way, instead, I met a massive reduction. I was seeing $8 in my wallet instead of the actual amount I bought it for ($10). That was the moment I knew I had lost my money already because the drop was just too much.

Currently, the coin is crawling and keeps dragging down, and I don't know how many years it's ever going to take to jump up again. The RUNE I bought has ruined my investment.

Thanks for reading.
