An investor jumped into the hype surrounding the meme coin DogWifHat (WIF) by investing $5,000 during its launch in mid-December 2023. At that time, WIF was trading at a mere $0.004. However, as the year progressed, DogWifHat started a remarkable rally, skyrocketing past the $3 mark.

Despite the potential for massive gains, the investor cashed out early, selling WIF for $7,000 after its initial rally, pocketing a $2,000 profit. However, what followed was a shocker: DogWifHat continued its meteoric rise, with the same $5,000 investment now valued at an astonishing $12 million.

Reflecting on the missed opportunity, the investor rues the decision, realizing they could have become a millionaire in just four months. Instead, they find themselves regretting the loss of over $100,000 while chasing the next big thing.
