Writing My Story While I am Alive, Not For The Bloggers To Write Nonsense About Me Tomorrow When I Become Wealthy
Joining the world of cryptocurrency and blockchain in 2014 after a staggering loss of over 14 million Naira felt like falling into an abyss. Despite initially investing just 100k Naira, I fell victim to a Ponzi schemes. As the saying goes, "Easy come, easy go."
I cried for days, engulfed in frustration and confusion. Yet, I held onto my belief in God's love and faithfulness. "When the going gets tough, the tough get going," I reminded myself. It became my ritual to seek God's direction before embarking on any work.
One fateful night, I met Mr. James of Embermine Coin, an American who guided me to my first ICO investment with the remaining 10,000 Naira after the Ponzi scheme collapsed. "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
Within a year, my modest investment grew to 10,500,000 Naira, teaching me the power of persistence. "Rome wasn't built in a day," and neither is financial success.
In 2017 and 2018, I became a skilled Airdrop Hunter, earning over $200,000 from my activities. However, pride and recklessness took over, leading me away from my principles. "Pride comes before a fall."
In 2018, my world crumbled. I lost everything, even the ability to afford 50 Naira for a week. My depression deepened, my relationship failed, and I contemplated suicide. "When it rains, it pours."
But God, in His mysterious ways, reached out to me through a stranger who later became my best friend. "God works in mysterious ways." This stranger reintroduced me to the online world, and soon after, I landed a $400/month crypto job in Moscow, Russia.
I began to rebuild my life. "Every cloud has a silver lining." I saved money, got a new apartment, and started anew. Today, I can support my immediate and extended family and friends, both online and offline. I owe my gratitude to the Lord.
The lessons from my journey are clear:
1. "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you."
2. "An investment in knowledge pays the best interest." Study financial education and investment.
3. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Invest your money in real estate or physical businesses once you've made significant gains in crypto.
4. "Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it." No matter how wealthy you become, careless spending can lead you to poverty.
5. "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." Stay modest and avoid arrogance.
6. "It's not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves." It's harder to stay at the top than to get there. Work diligently and don't relax prematurely.
