Unpaved Roads

I remember back in 2018 I was listening to an interviews of Alessio Rastani with a crypto retail investor that made around $4 million dollars in profits during the 2017 bull market, and I was fascinated about the number and also the prospects that this crypto sphere has. I wasn't understanding too much the tech, but the profits were damn tasty.

At that time I refused to believe that the bull market was actually over, and that poor strategy has weighed painfully on my investments in the years to come, but what I remember quite vividly is the fact that the millionaire from Alessio's interview made all that money with ETH. He was able to mine some and also buy some ETH at $4 and held to it up to $400. He hasn't caught the exact top, but 100x is not to be overlooked. Not too many have such strong hands.

Quite often I found myself calculating how much will I get with this coin if the price goes 10x or more, but rarely do I think the other way, like how much will I loose if the coin dumps 10x or more and that's where my weakness lies. The road to abundance is an unpaved road and rare are the cases where luck makes you rich over night. I have yet to become rich as such.

Looking back to where I started I realize that although unconsciously, I've been walking this unpaved road for quite a while... I'm close to four years since I started investing in crypto, I am almost three years on the chain, and in regards to what @taskmaster44le was talking yesterday in his video about the era of abundance in crypto, I've managed to add three additional crypto incomes to the singular Hive one that I had for much time before digging into the other projects.

You get to make connections all this way and aside the money that I will be earning as profits for my investments at the end of this bull market, I realize that I got some important knowledge for showing up in here everyday and following all sort of people from all around the world. Especially on leofinance you can get into some really good trades if you keep your eyes open and there's so much to learn in this ever developing environment.

Being here through a bear market and getting out of it alive and bags floating means so much, and only the ones that have gone through bear markets in crypto know what I mean. Plebs coming in the next few months will get burned painfully in the coming years and it's part of the evolutionary process, the best lessons are the ones written with your own blood. The crypto road to abundance is not a German highway though, but rather a Romanian dirt wood road.

The view from above and the fresh air will for sure make all the pain worth. It's a continual educational process, as this space develops itself in one year so much that if you get a 365 days pause from it you'll feel like being frozen and got back to life in a whole different world when coming back to crypto after all that time. One topic that @taskmaster4450 also mentioned yesterday in his video was DEFI.

Where was DEFI one year ago?... Some are comparing it with the ICO hype, but although I'm not invested or part of any DEFI project I'd say it's much more than the ICO saga. Being part of crypto is a risky ride and you can get out quite bruised from it if you don't hold tight, but if you're able to jump off the bear onto the bull when the time's right, it's definitely worth it.

I don't know how this blogging career feels for you guys, but in my case it's a continual hustle. Nothing is a given for me and that's the exact spice that motivates me to move forward. I don't like warm water, not even for showering. It's either cold showers or damn hot ones. We're still early on in this crypto revolution and for the ones invested both financially, but mentally also, is going to be life changing. At least that's how I feel.

I was inspired to write this post, although had quite a painful day, just because I feel like the run up is about to continue after the correction we had. I feel like when ETH will get past its previous ATH, a new era for altcoins will commence. Some are already doing pretty well, but not all of them, and we haven't seen retail FOMOing into shitcoins yet. Waiting patiently for that to happen.
