Cryptocurrency traders constantly look for the next big project to yield significant profits. However, not all of their investments result in massive gains. A recent report by Lookonchain revealed that a trader lost more than $1 million within three days.

Per the report, the trader bought Slerf (SLERF) for 4,958 SOL, worth around $1 million. The different transactions occurred when the price hovered between $0.8 and $1.4 on its launch day. A couple of hours later, the trader sold its SLERF tokens, losing 2,793 SOL after the tokens price plunged to the $0.4-$0.6 range, for a loss of $564,000. This #FOMO buyer sold all $SLERF at a loss of 6,039 $SOL($1.15M) again. Then he deposited all his $SOL to #Binance and may no longer trade #MEMEcoins.https://t.co/ubHQwYoM54 pic.twitter.com/RIJkDF103C — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) March 21, 2024 Seemingly, the fear of missing out made the trader buy SLERF a second time when the price neared its all-time high (ATH) of $1.30. The address bought 3 million Slerf at $1.17, spending 19,133 SOL, worth around $3.152 million. At the time, the pending question was whether the trader would profit from this second attempt or lose more money. As Lookonchain reported, the FOMO buyer sold all their SLERF tokens at a loss again, losing 6,039 SOL, worth $1.15 million. The Slerf token, which has been all over the news for its dramatic launch, saw a significant price decrease of 52.39% from the ATH registered the day after launch. At writing time, SLERF is trading at $0.6351, an 18.4% decrease in the past 24 hours. oh fuck#Slerf #Slerfthesloth #slerfsup $slerf pic.twitter.com/MZes6fVjHN — Slerf (@Slerfsol) March 22, 2024 A second trader lost 3,731 SOL, worth $775,000, just one hour after buying 790,236 SLERF at its ATH price. The trader then doubled down on its bet and bought another 650,000 SLERF. Unluckily, the tokens price plummeted after both purchases. Is The Crypto Presale Meta Hand In Hand With FOMO? To paint an even bigger picture, another crypto trader lost money yesterday after buying a different ‘presale meta’ memecoin. Although the figures are more modest than the other two cases, this trader bought SMOLE and lost 371 SOL. Later, the address spent 2,549 SOL to buy SLERF. This guy always buys high and sells low. He lost money on $SMOLE twice in just 20 minutes, with a total loss of 371 $SOL($70K). Then he spent all 2,549 $SOL($484K) to buy $SLERF.https://t.co/X4aRpNrZuC pic.twitter.com/oZlWkyKD8B — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) March 21, 2024 SMOLE, despite only being out for one day, has already seen massive criticism and a 17.1% price drop. At writing time, the memecoin is changing hands at $0.0001499, a 70.39% decrease from its highest price of $0.0005086. As this might suggest, FOMO seemingly drives memecoin traders decisions during this presale meta. The trend has seen hundreds of millions of dollars sent to memecoins, most of which report millions in losses for investors. 2024 is a #FOMO #YOLO kind of year go for it ! pic.twitter.com/AT8iMZchdQ — Crypto Damus (@AstroCryptoGuru) March 20, 2024 Despite experienced traders being able to profit from this trend, the current numbers hint at a considerable amount of traders losing massive figures while trying to catch the next memecoin to go turbo parabolic, even if it doesnt have a long-term roadmap.

Price crashes are a normal part of cryptocurrency investing. It is important to be ready and understand how to minimize losses during a declining market. (Read More)
The crypto market is still displaying poor performance. This post is all about the top 5 worst cryptocurrencies of the week.
The Bitcoin Crash has unsettled many investors in the last few days. Can you still trust Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as investments? Well, a crash always offers an opportunity to buy cheap and profit big in the next few weeks and months. Let's talk about 3 crypto buys that you could invest in right now, and will recoup your previous losses from the crypto crash.
#1 Terra (LUNA)The Terra network aims to promote the acceptance of cryptocurrencies in the financial world. It introduced Fiat-based stablecoins. The prices of these stablecoins are calculated by decentralized oracles on the chain. LUNA is Terra’s network token. In the last few weeks, the LUNA token has risen to the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap.
The rise of Terra began as the classical financial world became more closely intertwined. Furthermore, the growing market of decentralized financial products (DeFi) benefits the value of the LUNA token. The increase in value should continue over the next few weeks. Due to the crypto crash on the market, LUNA is relatively cheap to buy at the moment, and happens to reach a support area.
Fig.1 LUNA/USD chart for the past month - coinmarketcap #2 Avalanche (AVAX)Avalanche was called an "Ethereum killer" in 2021, along with other cryptocurrencies such as Cardano and Solana. This is how smart contract platforms are called, which offer significantly lower transaction fees and other advantages compared to Ethereum (e.g. security). Avalanche can process up to 4,500 transactions per second because, unlike other cryptocurrencies, it uses multiple blockchains.
Especially in the area of ??NFTs and DeFi, the Avalanche network has seen more and more opportunities in recent weeks. The network continues to grow. Indeed, there is a possibility that Avalanche could at some point be on a par with Ethereum. Here, too, you can take advantage of the low prices of cryptocurrencies at the moment due to the recent crypto crash.
Fig.2 AVAX/USD chart for the past month - coinmarketcap #3 Fantom (FTM)Cryptocurrencies that are extremely fast and extremely scalable should determine the future of the market. This includes Fantom, which uses a novel consensus mechanism called Lachesis. As a result, the transaction speed in the Fantom network is very low. The average should be less than a second.
The network's native token is the FTM token. This could be an excellent long-term investment in the next few years. Decentralized applications should queue up in 2022 to use the Fantom Blockchain. Last week the FTM course exploded. Due to the crypto crash, the token is currently cheaper again.

We are seeing the crypto market at an all-time high and it seems that the market is showing no signs of stopping. Yet, certain cryptocurrencies displayed poor performance. This post is all about the top 3 cryptocurrencies that lost in value while the crypto market is booming. Let's take a look at it in more detail. At the time of writing this, the BTC price is sitting at $65,483.04.
3.Top 3 Cryptocurrencies: Compound (COMP) -28.8%According to its whitepaper, Compound runs on Ethereum that enables users to lend and borrow cryptocurrency. It also allows users to have a right in its governance with its COMP token. The COMP cryptocurrency is the governance token of the protocol. The predefined number is shared with all lenders and borrowers on the Compound protocol regularly.
In the last 3 months, the COMP price has decreased by almost -28.8%. The crypto market is booming yet the COMP price has decreased. The reason behind this could be a buggy software upgrade. Just a few days ago, users of COMP tokens were surprisingly given $90M worth of COMP tokens after a buggy software upgrade.
2.Top 3 Cryptocurrencies: Flow (FLOW) -43.50%According to its website, the FLOW is the native token (“FLOW”) of the Flow network. The network defines itself as a unique blockchain that is built for the next generation of apps, games, and the digital assets that hold them. Flow is powered by Dapper Labs. The Dapper Labs is the same company that created the famous CryptoKitties. The purpose of the FLOW blockchain is to be fast, secure, and developer-friendly.
In the last three months, the FLOW price has decreased by almost -43.50%. The reason behind this price drop is still unknown.
1.Top 3 Cryptocurrencies: Braintrust (BTRST) -80.5%According to its website, Braintrust is the first decentralized facility that connects freelancers with the world’s major firms. As compared with other cryptocurrencies, BTRST's price has declined. In the last three months, BTRST's price has decreased by almost -80.5%. Braintrust price in BTC has dropped by almost -36% while it is down -51% against Ethereum.
