Warning: my $12,000 margin call came with a side of crypto trolling

I went all in on a 3x leveraged forex pair last month because a guy in a YouTube comment swore the Fed hint was a sure thing. The broker's platform had a slick app, so I thought, why not, and dumped $12,000 into a trade that went south in 48 hours. The margin call hit at 3am, and the app's auto-response literally sent me a rocket emoji before locking my account. I called support and they laughed, said 'next time read the risk disclosure, champ'. Now I'm back to a basic cash account with a stop loss set every single trade like a terrified grandpa. Anyone else get burned by a broker's shiny interface hiding their fine print, or am I just the dumbest whale in the pool here?
