I started with $500 in crypto and a big debt to my parents. I flipped that into $1.2M in 3 months trading NFTs in 2021.
By the end of the Solana bull run, that $1.2M turned into a few million.
Then Solana nuked.
I round-tripped a huge bag all the way down to $8.
I had already upgraded my lifestyle based on what I used to have, and now most of it was gone. That part sucked.
When SOL was in the $8–$15 range, I went all in again. I DCA’d every liquid dollar I could find. I was scared ngl. I genuinely thought I could fuck up everything and go back to zero.
In real life, I was “broke” again, but all my belief and life savings were in Solana.
After some time we ran to $280.
That’s where I finally took profits slowly on the way up and secured my position.
Even when it feels like it’s over, it’s not over. You can rebuild. You can bounce back. You can reinvent yourself.
I’ve done it twice now, in two different cycles. Both of them were equally as painful and rewarding.
If you’re down bad right now, don’t tap out. Your next big opportunity is closer than you think.
