Life is so private CT doesn't know my story. Three years in crypto taught me one thing: Your biggest losses can become your greatest lessons. Here's what happened. 2020: Where it Started I got lucky after getting to know about Crypto basics during lockdown, I had no idea what I was doing. I put $2k into Dogecoin. Nobody was talking about it. By 2021, I had $80k+ in floating Profits. I felt unstoppable but I had no Structure. I was wrong. The Fall I know what you're thinking, that's a lot of money, why didn't you take a profit? "Hold to the moon!" everyone said. I rotated my Floating profits into buying so many tokens on BSC as I wanted to grow my portfolio to $1M+ and retire my entire bloodline and build a foundation to support Charity across the Nation. So I held everything. Honestly, then, the money felt unreal and too easy to replicate the result, I was in year 2 then in uni, I felt I'll make better decisions with it when done with school, I was thinking long-term..... omo That $80k+? Today it's worth $15 not because I spent it, but because the market crashed, then I discovered I was holding a bubble all this time. But something else was happening... In late 2021 while losing money, I joined @_CryptoBootcamp I wanted to learn how crypto works and gain insight from industry leaders. I met @iwuno_Obinna, He taught me about leadership, Web3 Marketing, Blockchain Education, and Community Building. He saw potential in me that I didn't see. He believed in me. He allowed me to serve and contributed to the growing Web3 ecosystem in PH Nigeria. He buried a vision in me that will outlive time. In 2022 I joined X., My account @SalvationEnergi got suspended the Following year so I started @Dexchad_ in June 2023. In 2022, I kept learning and showing up Daily. 2 years later after @_Cryptobootcamp, I went on to build one of the most influential Campus Blockchain communities in South-South Nigeria @BlockchainRSU_ with my Co-Founder @CryptoMariner1 We Started Onboarding and educating students about Opportunities in blockchain For FREE. ✅ 1,000+ students trained ✅ 50+ scholarships given ✅ 50+ projects collaborated with since 2023 We hosted Quarterly Workshops, IRL/Virtual bootcamps, and Annual Conferences where we taught: -Web/Blockchain Development -Web3 Content Creation -Product Design & Management -Web3 Investing -On-Chain Trading -The Future of Money I ALSO ran @EnergySalvation Where I started sharing web3 opportunities to Non-Campus Students ( Anyone interested in this new technology): •Web3 Onboarding •Trading Idea •Investment Strategies •Tokenless opportunities •Web3 Researching •Annual Web3 Workshop/Conference I Became an Ambassador for: @bantublockchain @FTX_Official @Xion @StepFinance @AllstarsAC and others. Web3 became my way of life. I made $40k+ back by the End of 2023. Then 2024 came. My First Hack happened Woke up one morning. Everything gone. My Extra $10k in $JUP? Drained! All my positioned wallets from 2022 to 2024 for Airdrops? Compromised! I sat there. Empty. My hands were shaking, the thought of Suicide was almost attacking me, I was traumatized, remembering how I lost so much in 2021. But I didn't stop building. Inside, I was hurting. But then I rebuilt to $20k+ from Early 2024 to Early 2025. Hard work, Airdrops, Trading, and Consulting. I was recovering. Then in Early 2025: I started serving in the North. I got hacked again. $HQ $20k+ gone. My savings? Gone. My NYSC allowance? Gone. Serving my country with nothing most of my CDS plans were crushed. This time almost broke me. My Decision After the second hack, I chose: ❌ Stop Web3 temporarily ✅ Focused on trading $XAUUSD & $BTCUSD ✅ Master project management ✅ Get @solanamobile for security then Return to web3 in Q4 2025. I lost my Mind trying. But I kept showing up. What Happened/What I Gained During These Dark Periods. 1. Lost over $120k+ ❌ 2. Hacked twice ❌ 3. X Account suspended once❌ 4. Lost My Savings❌ But I..🧵
