Exactly one year ago, after months of running a project, I watched it all get obliterated in an instant. I gave so much for that project just to see everything collaps. First hit was on 10/10 and only 2 days later it also got hit with copyright claim and dex took away name/ banner, which made all the whales panic and sent it to zero. The amount of money I roundtripped and all the effort I put in really made me upset and question my whole perspective on the space. No matter how strong the holders, the community and narrative, sometimes factors that aren't in your control can literally send a coin to zero at any time. Most of my port got wiped out and I was lowkey depressed. However, I got lucky. Ironically at that time I felt the worst happened, but in fact actually something good happened. During this project I made really good friends, and some of these friends helped me to get back on my feet. If it wasn't for them I most likely would have left the space and haven given up on my dreams. Lots of times I was so close to give up, but they motivated and inspired me to stick around. Shoutout @OnlyLJC , @SUIT_DIPER, you guys are the realest niggas in the space and all the good stuff that is happening to you guys is truly deserved. So the biggest advice I wanna give you is to make absolute sure you got the right people around you that actually want you to succeed. They are the ones who can lift you up when you're down, and once you found some mfers that aren't trying to steal your money you only need 1 opportunity, and once it presents itself you gotta take it and go all in for it. Don't wait for stuff to happen, be pro active, be a nice person and eventually opportunity will come to you, even when you're at your lowest and everyting goes terribly wrong for you. You just need one opportunity or one good trade and you will be able to get back in the game. But the question is: Are you gonna act like a victim and blame everyone else for your situation, or will you actually take responsibility and start taking action? Once I stopped blaming others for my failures everything changed for me.
