Back in 1999, a trader walked away from a massive fortune—all because he couldn't figure out whether FRODO was an actual crypto project or just another meme coin knockoff. The story sounds rough when you think about it. Missing out on life-changing gains simply due to lack of due diligence or market literacy? That's the kind of decision that haunts you. It's a solid reminder for everyone in the space: do your homework before passing on opportunities. Sometimes the ones that seem too obscure or confusing end up being the real gems.

ngl this guy has been in crypto since 1999, how much do you think he regrets now... but to be honest, who can tell for sure, everything back then was like an air coin.

actually, this is a perfect case study in how information asymmetry destroys wealth in emerging markets. let me break it down: the real lesson isn't about missing frodo—it's about the epistemic failure that precedes every regret in crypto.
