Recently, an anonymous netizen shared on PTT a story about mistakenly transferring 100,000 New Taiwan Dollars to the defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX due to a small oversight, sparking discussions in the community. This case reminds us once again that even experienced investors can make 'expensive mistakes' in a moment of carelessness. Veteran's negligence: 100,000 mistakenly sent to FTX This PTT user shared his personal experience. During a midnight buy-in operation, he intended to transfer 100,000 New Taiwan Dollars to the Pionex exchange but accidentally chose the address of the now-defunct FTX exchange. The transfer was successfully completed, but since FTX has entered bankruptcy liquidation, he did not know how to recover the funds. The user recalled that he did not carefully check the address due to being sleepy and directly used the address saved by the system. After realizing that this address was an old address of FTX, which had not been deleted, he chose to share his experience in the community after multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact FTX's liquidation team to remind other investors to pay attention to operational details. Learning from experience: check and recheck This investor admitted that he had previously successfully avoided the FTX collapse storm, but this oversight left him feeling guilty. In his post, he lamented, 'The necessary checks should be done properly; one must be responsible for their own assets.' Experts point out that whether new or experienced, traders should pay attention to the following when trading cryptocurrencies: Check the transfer address: Always confirm that the target address is correct before every operation to avoid selecting outdated saved addresses. Keep clear records: Record all transfer information, including transaction counterparts, amounts, and times, so that issues can be quickly verified when they arise. Avoid late-night operations: Being mentally fatigued can easily lead to mistakes, so it's advisable to make important trading decisions when alert. Enthusiastic responses from netizens: from sympathy to humor This experience of mistakenly transferring 100,000 to FTX sparked lively discussions on PTT, with comments from netizens offering warm consolation, as well as humorous jabs. Some netizens joked, 'FTX: Thanks, Daddy,' while others lamented, 'At least it wasn't 100,000 USD,' and some quoted, 'SBF really said there is a Santa Claus.' Meanwhile, many netizens reflected on this, reminding themselves to check and delete all FTX wallet address whitelists to avoid repeating the same mistake. Another group expressed support and care, saying, 'You can earn it back in a bull market,' and 'Pat on the shoulder.'
