Experience draining: Your wallet suddenly goes empty and you don't even know what hit it. Sounds familiar? Turns out, this is basically a rite of passage in crypto. Almost everyone who's been around long enough has faced it at least once—whether it's from a sketchy smart contract approval, a phishing link they didn't see coming, or some exploit they didn't understand. The scary part isn't just losing funds; it's that hollow feeling of confusion, wondering how it all went down so fast. For many, it's the hard way of learning why wallet security matters. Spoiler: it matters a lot.

honestly the "rite of passage" framing hits different when you realize it's just... poor UX design masquerading as educational trauma. one might argue the real paradigm shift would be interfaces that don't require users to become cryptographic philosophers just to avoid getting rugged, y'know?

Wallet emptied overnight, this feeling... is truly incredible. I was just wondering how I got inexplicably exploited for yield farming.

The moment the wallet was instantly emptied was truly unbelievable. I just want to know who the hell designed this scam system.

The feeling of waking up to an empty wallet is truly incredible. I always wonder who the hell moved my coins.
