I was broke, defeated and in debt, But I found a wallet worth 6m. 💰
NFTs were my gateway into web3. Here's my story 👇
Sharing it in collaboration with @MEFndn#NFTsandME.
Mid 2021, ETH was around $2000 each, I had lunch with a friend that told me to buy my first NFT, a dumb ape picture called BAYC for a few ETH.
Having made some money, I wanted more alpha. This time we met up for lunch again. But my friend was visibly stressed.
i asked him what’s wrong and he told me his other friend had minted 400 Loot (for adventurers) last night.
It was a JPEG with a black background and 8 words on it. Each were worth 1e. That play was worth 400e and the guy minted them all for FREE! 🆓
These were the rags to riches story everyone dreams of. But here's the kicker, when I got home that day, it was 2e. The next morning it was 5e, then 10e, then 18e.
This guy made 18e x 400 NFTs = 7,200e in 2 days and only paid gas to mint them. Thats 14m for just knowing what to do and taking a chance on it. 🤯
Loot's success drove a massive wave of Loot derivatives. Black background jpegs with 8 words on them. I was coping hard.
For the next 2 days I was feining in front of my computer, hunched over, buying 10-20 of every Loot derivative I could find. I was deep into the NFT rabbit hole.
Some did well, some rugged. But ultimately, I was down to my last 4e. I chanced upon a project called Loot for Treasure and for some reason, someone had posted a rarity chart for these treasures.
For the entire day, I sat and sniped every rare treasure on these NFTs that were listed near floor in hopes that I could flip them. (Floor was around 0.2e), I had spent my last 4e. I had spent my last chance at this dream of making it.
The next day, the project floor tanked and it was 0.02e. I had lost 90% of what I had invested.
Fast forward a few days later, the community miraculously stuck around the project and the founder promised to keep working on it. They had introduced staking and had plans for a migration to this little known network called Arbitrum (no one knew what it was). I was broke so I stuck around and hoped for the best.
During this time, Treasure had introduced an NFT project called Smol Brains. We had to draw a picture of a monkey with a big brain to get a WL. I had spent my last liquid dollar on this project and had nothing better to do. So i drew 7 different monkeys with large heads and acquired 7 WLs.
30 days pass and migration day arrives, I acquired 1m MAGIC tokens from staking my worthless NFTs.
I was also airdropped about 400k MAGIC worth of NFTs and 14 Smol Brain NFTs. All this combined were kinda worthless at the time. But I somehow managed to recover my investment of 4e through selling a bunch of my airdrop.
It wasnt too bad, my world was not finished. But I had gotten busy during this time and just left everything staked.
Fast forward 2 months, a project I was working on failed and I was really struggling to make ends meet. I start liquidating my crypto assets to try to find a way to pay off some debts.
Then I chanced upon my Treasure NFTs and tokens.
During this time, @garyvee had just mentioned Treasure and Smol Brains. So each MAGIC token was at its peak and worth $6 and each Smol Brain was worth 5e each. Combined with a bunch of Treasure Ecosystem NFTs. I had a portfolio of over 6m.
Having faced the darkness of having everything in my life fail and then suddenly seeing a wallet I owned have over 6m USD worth of assets. That is the beauty of NFTs.
NFTs saved my life.
But more importantly, NFTs to me represent a paradigm shift. A democratization of opportunity that anyone can make it in this world. It has become my identity and unlocked access to a world beyond my imagination.
Never give up 💪
Animal coins seem to be leading this pump.
Sharing a tool I created while building @cabaltothetop
https://t.co/PCfVGvg0tO
It’s a telegram bot that aggregates all caller groups and indexes their profit/loss on their calls.
It will scan for every call in this broadcast and alert you if multiple callers call a coin.
You'll know which cabal is backing which shitcoin here
I’ve had this running for awhile now. Mapping callers to certain cabals and indexing how profitable their calls are.
You may not be part of the cabal, but shitcoins are an information game. The more information you have, the more successful you are. 🤝

Sun Tzu, in his book “Art of War" taught armies to burn their boats and destroy the bridges behind as they advanced into new territory.
He argued that soldiers without the option of going home are more likely to succeed in their objectives.
I am burning my boats and destroying my bridges. There is no turning back, I have to succeed. There is no other option.
Success is when preparation meets opportunity.
I have been on my grind, I have been here all bear. I forced myself to keep learning when everyone said it was pointless, I kept working hard even when people told me not to waste my time. This my time. This is our time. This is Game of Gold time.
Don’t fade @gameofgoldblast. Mint is tomorrow.
This is your warning shot 🔫
This is something I’m very excited to put out!
i want a second shot at something that has lived rent free in my head for the last 2 years. 🆓
Many of you know my first ever web3 project was a p2e game that was incredibly hyped, but I failed to launch because I got screwed over by my inexperience trusting some malicious devs. I missed my shot and I have been paying the price.
I've spent the last 2 years growing and learning and this is my time for redemption. 🐯
Having followed everything that has been happening on @Blast_L2 since the start, I see weakness in the ponzi division and I strongly believe there is an opportunity for a p2e game that can capture mindshare on Blast, while also drawing in funds from other chains, helping grow Blast TVL hand in hand.
