“How Solana Made Me Feel Like a Genius (For a Moment)”

I’m not going to lie: when I started investing in cryptocurrencies, I was that typical curious person who barely knew the difference between Bitcoin and blockchain. But curiosity has always been stronger than fear, so I started spending my time (and money) exploring the crypto world.

It was in 2020 that I heard about Solana. A friend told me: “Man, this currency has a future, it’s fast, cheap and full of projects emerging”. In my beginner’s excitement, I threw R$500 in what seemed like a very random guess. I confess, I didn’t even really understand how this “fast blockchain” worked.

Months later, I started following the price. And what happened? The thing went up. Then it went up more. And more. Out of nowhere, my investment became something close to R$8,000. I felt like the Warren Buffett of crypto! But don't worry, it's not all glamour. I was so happy that I sold too early and missed the chance to make even more profit when the price soared again. The lesson is this: the crypto market is a mix of strategy, patience and luck (sometimes more luck than strategy, to be honest).

Today, I look at Solana not only as an investment that worked out, but as the currency that taught me not to underestimate any project. And, of course, that gave me a good story to tell.

Moral of the story? Never ignore that friend who talks about crypto. Sometimes they're right.$SOL
