Back in early 2021, NFTs were still a joke to most of the world. But I saw something brewing — digital ownership was about to go mainstream.
That’s when I stumbled on a new PFP project launching on Ethereum. Mint price? 0.03 ETH (~$90 at the time). No roadmap. Just vibes and great pixel art.
I minted 3 and forgot about them. Literally. Months passed.
💥 Then It Happened...
One random night, I got a notification:
> "Your NFT received an offer: 6 ETH."
I thought it was a scam.
But it wasn’t.
Checked OpenSea: floor price was 5.8 ETH and rising. Hype was real. Influencers were talking. Discord was exploding.
I sold 1 NFT for 6 ETH (~$18,000 at that time).
Held the other two and sold them weeks later for another $22,000 combined.
🎓 What I Learned:
✅ Early conviction pays — not everything needs utility on day one.
✅ Community drives value, not just art.
✅ Have an exit plan — I didn’t fall in love with the JPEG, I sold the hype.
Today, I still mint occasionally, but smarter. I never chase. I plant seeds.
