Memoirs of a Crypto OG Episode #1 – "The $PENDLE That Got Away"

So yeah, although I’m not quite ready to retire from crypto (yet), I still consider myself an OG... started back in 2019 with ADA and ETH.

I’ve decided to write some memoirs and share a few stories with you.

This is Episode X.

$PENDLE is one of my top XX fumbles ever...

On February 28, 2023, I bought XXXXXXXX $PENDLE at $XXXX.

A couple of months later, my wallet was compromised and I lost around $7K. I had $PENDLE, $ARB (from the airdrop), and some other tokens I can't even remember anymore.

I rebought my $ARB, but for some reason, I never re-entered $PENDLE.

That wallet held my long-term convictions... I’m still holding $ARB (and taking a beating), but no $PENDLE.

If I hadn’t been hacked, today I’d be sitting on $12.8K worth of $PENDLE... not life-changing, but still a solid 25.6x.

Why am I telling you this story?

Because I just bought back in $PENDLE at $XXXX.
