Spent over $2000 to buy a crypto account, hoping to create a chance for a leapfrog over others. But what happened? The account was ultimately banned. It's a bit ironic.

Honestly, I don't mind the money spent—what hurts more is the wasted time and the pitfalls I stepped into. Many newcomers are actually like this, eager to get on board, but end up falling into traps. Account risks, platform rules, asset security... if these lessons aren't learned, throwing more money is pointless.

Starting from zero is actually the most honest way to begin. Instead of relying on "shortcuts" to leapfrog, it's better to lay a solid foundation first. The threshold for entering the crypto world seems low, but the bottom line is truly tough.

Short-sightedness really doesn't work in the crypto world; buying accounts is just digging a hole for yourself to jump into.

Spending 2000 bucks to buy an account and still getting banned—that's what you get for not doing your mempool homework, haha. Buying a ready-made account? Honestly, it's just trying to take a shortcut for arbitrage, but you haven't even studied the platform's risk control rules thoroughly. It's better to start understanding the on-chain data yourself. If you can't even grasp the mechanism of flash loans, how do you expect to overtake others on a bend? These days, without some on-chain sense, you really can't play the game. Rushing to get on board is the result of poor preparation. No matter how much gas fee you throw in, if your foundation isn't solid, it's all in vain. I'm just curious how you’ve allocated your assets. Did they disappear along with this account? Honestly, buying a second-hand account is basically gambling on your counterparty. Instead of that, it's more reliable to run your own arbitrage bot. Account bans happen because many people don't see the platform restrictions clearly. Rather than taking shortcuts, it's better to optimize your gas usage thoroughly before considering entering the market. Really, the threshold in the crypto world is low, but the bottom line for due diligence is very strict. Trying to take a shortcut with just 2000 bucks? Well, this is a lesson for yourself.

Buying accounts with this trick has long been outdated, yet some people still fall for it. In the crypto world, there are no shortcuts—only those who cut leeks and those who get cut. Spending two thousand yuan to learn a lesson is actually a cheap price. Really, rushing for quick gains here is just sending yourself to be sacrificed. That's why I advise everyone to start from scratch themselves; there's no other way.

Buying accounts is really a common problem for newcomers in the crypto world, luckily you’ve recognized it. Two thousand dollars down the drain, just consider it tuition. Compared to those who got scammed even worse, you’re lucky. If the foundation isn’t solid, how can it be stable? The shortcut is always the longest way. Getting banned this time is actually a wake-up call; starting from zero is the real way to succeed. That’s how the crypto world is—seems simple but the threshold is actually very high, no rush. Honestly, you still need to understand the rules; otherwise, no matter how much money you have, it won’t help. Trying to overtake on a bend, but ended up flying off the track, haha. This tuition fee is expensive, but at least you weren’t completely stripped of everything.
