🎯 Can You Survive a Flashcrash? Let's Play!

Think you can outsmart the dreaded Flashcrash? Let's play "Escape the Crash"!

You wake up to your phone buzzing. The market's in freefall.

What's your move?
A) Panic sell everything
B) HODL for dear life
C) Buy the dip
D) Check your stop-losses and take a deep breath

Choose wisely! One path leads to Rekt City. Another might just save your portfolio.

As I crafted this game, I couldn't help but think of WhiteBIT's recent Halloween campaign about crypto fears. It reminded me of my first flashcrash experience – talk about a real-life horror story!

But here's the thing: knowledge is power. The more you understand market dynamics, the less scary these moments become.
So, what's your strategy? Are you the cool trader who sticks to their plan? Or the adrenaline junkie who sees opportunity in chaos?

P.S. No virtual portfolios were harmed in the making of this game. Can't say the same for my real one though!
