In 2020, I was a 20-year-old engineering student when I first stumbled upon crypto.
Out of pure curiosity, I did some research on Google, found an exchange and deposited just $1 to try it out. To my surprise, I made some profit. That small win sparked something inside me.
A few months later, I received a $500 scholarship for my university
I put it all into Bitcoin and altcoins. One night, I invested $1K into a little known altcoin. By morning, it had surged 200% on some sudden news. I looked at my account $5K.
I’d never seen that much money before. I was in shock.
Being religious, I went to a nearby park and cried. I asked God, If this money takes me away from You, then I don’t want it.
But the market doesn’t care about prayers or emotions.
Bitcoin crashed to $16K shortly after. I had gone all in on low-cap altcoins and just like that, most of it vanished.
Still i didnt give up, I borrowed money from relatives, invested again, and made it back. Then came the LUNA crash , I lost again. Borrowed more, made some back. Then FTT collapsed. More losses. Then a rugpull. Then more.
Eventually, I moved from spot to perpetuals. I made some, lost some. The leverage, the manipulation, the volatility ,I knew exactly what was happening, but I was trapped in the cycle.
My studies suffered badly.
I nearly dropped out of university and had to join again two to three years later.
Worse, when it was time to repay my debts, I had no money left. The bear market drained everything. My relatives harassed me. I finally left home and stayed away for three months. I remember going four straight days without food. On the fifth day, someone helped me and that tiny act of kindness gave me the strength to try again.
I started trading again. Slowly, I made some gains. I met a friend during this time a true one who stuck with me through everything.
She helped me in every way possible. With her support, I pay off most of my debt.
But just as things were looking better, BitMart froze my assets.
Everything was gone again.
Since then, I’ve only traded for survival. If I calculate everything, I’ve probably invested $30k-40k over the years.
And while I’ve made a lot, I’ve also lost close to half a million dollars.
There’s so much more to my story, but these are just a few chapters of it.
Through all the crashes, betrayals, debts, I’m still here.
And I promise, I will not quit until I make $1 million not for greed, but to walk away forever with peace.
And if you’re someone who’s been through the storms too and you have a strong portfolio, mindset, and patience
I’m looking for people like you.
We can make that $1M together.
Inshallah.
