Committing suicide Threats Spike on Reddit After Crypto Crash
Many not-so-savvy investors consider Reddit to discuss how they, or even their friends were considering suicide in response to the nosedive.
Victims of the cryptocurrency crash are posting suicidal messages on a Reddit forum dedicated to the cryptocurrency Luna.
This week, Luna token crashed 99 % as the TerraUSD stablecoin it was tethered to also imploded.

The downturn triggered countless not-so-savvy investors to get rid of not only their gains, but their entire investments, with some claiming they lost their whole life savings on the speculative task.
