But I hope it helps some of you achieve what you want & believe it's possible. I have waited for this day for a long time. I entered crypto right as covid hit. I started playing around & buying things. Not really knowing what I was doing, but enthusiastically reading, researching & following people I thought knew what they were doing on CT. Whenever I get passionate or excited about something, I throw a lot of time & energy into it. Crypto was no different. I spent hours & hours on CT looking at things, reading white papers (lol), looking at charts, watching interviews etc. Eventually, I stumbled onto $LUNA and Do Kwon. It immediately resonated. The mission, the tech, the community - it all clicked. I started buying around $X and kept averaging in on every dip until ~$40. I was fully committed. I invested a low six-figure sum and became active in both the community and the NFT scene. It felt like this was the thing - the one that would change my life. Well it did During this period, my, at the time fiancé & I decided to move across the world to try something new. Everything was going great. Luna ended up getting to around $XXX & my portfolio had grown to over half a million $. Then within the space of a day, it was gone. The major fear of the luna ecosystem had been realised, an attack to depeg the stable coin. The worst day of my life, as I watched helplessly. Half a million of unrealised gains vanish & my house deposit go up in flames. In the end 40-50 billion was wiped out from the luna ecosystem. This is a scar I am not sure I will ever lose, I think about this day at least X or X times a week. It literally keeps me awake at night still. A lot of my friends disappeared that day from crypto to never return, dormant X accounts. That was the end of the cycle for me, I went all in and lost. I was left with dust. My mistakes in hindsight were so obvious, I had become married to the bag, to the ecosystem. I was blinded to the criticisms and just wrote them off as haters. This was a super harsh lesson to learn. My emotional state after was numbness, I was lost. I was on the other side of the world with just my partner trying to support me after id potentially financially ruined us. Fast forward to this cycle. I started this cycle with nothing more than a few hundred to thousand bucks. My X goal was to wipe out that debt from Luna, to be honest, I never thought I would get there. But it was my goal nevertheless. I was one of the first users of pumpfun back in the day & saw the idea that this was what this cycle was going to be about. So I did what I do best. I got to grinding. I still made so many mistakes, roundtripped so much, sold so much early, but I was still making progress towards my goal. I didn’t really know what I was doing though, copy trading, tracking kols, apeing X shills etc. But then something just clicked, and I figured it out myself. Within the space of the last X months I have at least 25x’d my entire portfolio. In what many would say has been the hardest time of the market. As of today I have won. I have cashed out a huge amount at $XXX SOL & achieved my goals. I have wiped out my debt from Luna, I have bought a house, I have a wife & I just bought a beautiful new puppy. Now I sit here typing this, the flood of emotions & thinking about what I went through, what my wife went through, what I put her through a few years ago makes me well up. As I told her last night that it was all over, my nightmare was over & it was time to move on. To see the smile & shock on her face as I told her what id done. To right my wrongs. I truly cant believe that I made it. I could not have done it without her support & encouragement. Many others would have left me for a lot less. I don’t know how many of you will read this, I know its long and at times probably doesn’t make sense. But I wanted to let you know that you CAN do it. You might be so close to figuring it out. To getting over that hump. I hope I can inspire you to do that and be proof that it is possible!
