My crypto journey started in 2020. At first, I was in awe of how easy it seemed to earn money. I made $400 in just five days—far more than I earned at my job in the same timeframe. I even made $300 in 15 minutes from a single trade and turned $200 into $4,000 in three months. But with gains came losses. I once lost $500 in an hour when Bitcoin started dropping, though I managed to recover when it rose again. My biggest win was turning $20 into $1,000 in just three days. These successes made me believe I had found the key to financial freedom. I quit my job and went full-time into crypto trading. In 2021, I lived entirely off my crypto earnings, and for a while, it felt like I was on top of the world. But greed crept in. I thought the market would keep going up, so I invested heavily in a crypto game, thinking it was the next big thing. Then came 2022. The market crashed, and my portfolio began to crumble. Fear, hopelessness, and depression set in as I watched my savings vanish. I had no choice but to return to work to pay bills and make ends meet. It was a painful wake-up call. I quit crypto for a while, but not forever. Despite the setbacks, I remain optimistic about its future. If only I had saved more capital during the dips, I could have turned things around. So now, I'm taking it slow, saving, and preparing to re-enter the market with caution and wisdom.
