@dammiedammie35 The other officer separating them also saw the Meta eyeglass, that’s why he separated them to avoid anything incriminating.

That’s how they always compose when they realize they are on camera.

BULL RUN to BURNOUT: How I Became a “Millionaire”…. and Why It Didn’t Last

Recently, I came across a post by @Ssaasquatch where he shared his financial journey, moving from simple salary savings to crypto, stocks, and various investment instruments. He spoke about the highs and lows, the thrill of gradual progress, the disappointment of setbacks, and that moment when you realize diversification isn’t just a concept, it’s survival.

Reading it felt like someone took pages out of my own story.

THE RISE

My journey started in 2017. I was a young university fresher in Obafemi Awolowo University, with ₦50,000 in capital, money I got from my parents. I stepped into cryptocurrency P2P (peer-to-peer) trading. The first time I started to see consistent profits in my account? Pure joy. For me then, it wasn’t even about “wealth.” It was about survival and escaping the reality I came from. Stability felt like a luxury.

Then the crypto bull run arrived, and with it, a wave of opportunities I didn’t even know existed. This was the golden era of aidrops. Projects were fighting for attention, rewarding early users with tokens that could maybe turn into something someday. I participated in as many tasks as I could, never expecting much, just hoping one would click.

Then came HYDRO. I joined their airdrop, got rewarded, and before I knew it, those tokens were worth $3,000 and that was about N1,000,000 at that time. 

Just like that, one small win turned a struggling boy into a “naira millionaire”.
 That was my first taste of stability.

I stayed deeply involved in crypto, from P2P trading to spot trading, airdrop hunting, ICOs…..everything the market offered. Money was flowing. Opportunities were everywhere. And I genuinely believed the good times would last forever.

In my head: I’ve escaped struggling. Stability? Secured. Next stop: multimillionaire or even maybe Billionaire soon. Energy!!!

Becoming a millionaire at that age felt like the beginning of a lifelong upward journey.

I thought I’d escaped financial struggle for good !!!

I thought the bull run would last forever !!!

 I thought I had hacked wealth !!!

But what I didn’t know then was that the market was about to teach me a lesson I will never forget.

In the coming part, I’ll share how everything changed……and how the same journey that made me a millionaire almost destroyed me”.

A new year always does something to me, or maybe “us.” And if we’re being honest, it really does feel like a fresh page. A reset. Another chance to do things better, or at least do them differently.

For me, and I know I’m not alone, money naturally becomes part of that reflection. Not because I’m obsessed with it, but because it affects almost everything: freedom, choices, stability, peace of mind.

Questions we all ask ourselves, sometimes out loud, sometimes quietly in our heads:

“How do I make money?”

“How do I earn more?”

“How do I save better?”

“How do I invest wisely?”

“How do I grow what I already have?”

“How do I actually build wealth and not just get by?”

Over the past year, I stopped overthinking and just tried things. I explored several investment vehicles across different financial platforms. Some were experiments, just to understand how they worked. Others involved serious money, where every movement mattered. I wanted real experience, not theory, not screenshots, not people’s opinions.

From Safelock to Treasury Bills, U.S. real estate investing, Nigerian stocks, U.S. stocks, crypto “safe havens,” land banking, and even traditional thrift savings, across platforms like Bamboo, Rise, PiggyVest, and others. From all of this, I’ve gathered enough first-hand experience to understand what works, what works better, and what honestly isn’t worth the stress. Each came with its own lesson.

Some are easy to start but hard to sustain.
Some don’t care about your mood, your emergencies, or your life situation, you commit, and you’re forced to follow the plan, whether it’s convenient or not. Sometimes that discipline is good for you; sometimes it’s frustrating.
Some are high risk, some low risk.
Some feel like sure bankers, predictable and steady.
Others are uncertain and demand patience and emotional control.

What stood out to me most is that there’s no single “best” investment. What matters more is understanding what works for you, how you behave with money, and what fits your goals at a particular time.

And then there’s timing.
Timing matters, a lot.

I remember starting later than I should have. Still, I started anyway, mostly for education, for experience, and for perspective. And honestly, I got positive results. Solid returns, even. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t think about how much more could have been achieved if I had positioned earlier. That thought alone has shaped how I’m approaching this year.

Over the next week, I’ll be sharing my journey, openly and early enough, to help you set the right trajectory for your own financial and wealth-building journey this year. What I tried, what worked, what didn’t, and what I wish I knew earlier. If it helps you avoid even one wrong financial turn or make one better financial decision, then it’s worth sharing.

No hype. No promises.
Just lessons from experience.

Let’s be intentional.
Let’s be realistic.
And let’s make the most of the year.

Cheers 🥂

If you’re over 30 and found crypto in 2021 or 2025 instead of 2017, I have some very bad news about your level of intelligence
