How an anonymous crypto confession box is revealing investors’ tales of loss and despair

Twitter/Coinfessions

From the father who gambled away his daughter’s college fund and now can’t look her in the eye to the son who blew half a million dollars from his mother’s pension fund, a new crypto confession box is offering a glimpse into life as an investor during 2022’s crypto winter of discontent.

The Coinfession Twitter account is where investors divulge their darkest secrets of loss, heartbreak, and occasional success, to 80,000 strangers online. The sometimes hilarious, often absurd and at times tragic tales are posted anonymously. Often, the tales of woe are shared by people who haven’t even told their story to those closest to them.
