Crypto Journey Part 5 🌊 | From Loss to Cosmos

By June 2023, I had just returned from another contract and moved to Ireland 🇮🇪.

At that point, my portfolio was worth around $11,000.

I was no longer a rookie —

🎓 Took crypto courses

📚 Learned Smart Money concepts

🦈 Understood different strategies

I felt like a shark in the ocean — confident and sharp.

I stored most of my major holdings on a Ledger Nano X for extra security.

But then… disaster hit.

📍 While in Dublin, I lost my Ledger, my phone, and my notebooks — including seed phrases for multiple wallets.

It was brutal.

Especially when I watched $SUI hit $4, knowing a chunk of mine was locked, inaccessible without the Ledger.

I still had access to the wallets — but couldn’t move funds.

That felt like a gross loss, and it crushed my motivation.

I stopped all crypto activity until October 2023.

Then, while working again, I made a fresh deposit of $1,000, bought a few coins, and the market started recovering fast.

Some coins gave me 300% gains, and I was back in the game. 🔥

📆 On January 2, 2024, I returned home and made a shift in focus:

🧭 I started airdrop hunting.

I dove into the Cosmos($ATOM )ecosystem — learning how to:

✅ Stake for airdrops

✅ Provide liquidity on DeFi platforms like Stride

✅ Participate in early-stage testnets

✅ Farm native tokens

Throughout early 2024, I became deeply focused on airdrops, staking, and ecosystem farming within Cosmos.

It wasn’t just trading anymore — it was strategic participation.

👉 In Part 6, I’ll share my airdrop wins, best Cosmos plays, and how I started tracking Alpha Points to make smarter moves in real time.
