He typed 0.75 instead of 75.
One missing digit. A quarter of a million dollars.
December 11, 2021. A trader called maxnaut lists Bored Ape Yacht Club 3547. He means 75 ETH, about $300,000. He types 0.75 ETH, about $3,000.
He saw the mistake the instant his finger came off the mouse.
Too late. A bot had already paid over 8 ETH in gas, about $34,000, purely to make sure its transaction landed before he could reach cancel. Then it relisted the ape at $248,000.
Sit with that. $34,000 in fees, spent in the time it takes you to say "wait".
His own explanation afterwards: a lapse of concentration.
That is the part nobody wants to hear. Not stupidity. Not greed. Concentration.
The bots are not smarter than you. They are just AWAKE, and they are aimed at the exact second you stop paying attention 🫠
Every interface that lets you do this in one click will eventually do it to you.
Slow down on the last click. That is where the money leaves)
