learned about bitcoin 2010, lost my ~15btc to mt gox. bounced around, was early to doge subreddit, mined some ltc, but didn't commit. i had my first euphoric win w/ @tinydinosnft by arb'ing cross chain, prob 40k profit. spent most of it on more nfts. had some wins, but ultimately down to my last couple eth with lots of jpgs, a big win for me at this time was flipping something for .25 eth, months later money was pretty tight, saw @degenharambe post about $pepe by pure happenstance, hadnt logged in to twitter for weeks and it just popped up. I yeeted my last few thousand dollars when it was 50k mkc, was briefly top 5 holder. ended up riding it to cash out low 6 figs post taxes. felt great, told myself I'd keep some money in. saw mog being posted about. i liked most of the ppl i saw mention it. ended up punting in all my liquidity, ~50k leap of faith on the dip when lotta ppl dumped it. @mogcoin twitter account prob had 15 followers at this point. it went lower, i sold the last of my pepe i said id never touch. was top holder for a little. traded in and out. honestly scared shitless i had taken my pepe win money and wildly spent it. but i grinded w/ my cuzins. i ended up exiting most of my position and bought back essentially for wash sales. realized it was special eventually and just kept holding while others dca'ed out and in. my mog stack was worth 20m Q4 last year, did not exit, sold enough on the way down to buy my wife a house but still hold majority of my position. along the way i completely boofed my spx position because I tax loss harvested it while tripping balls because i freaked out when my wife said she was going to quit her jorb (this was like a week before murad mode). predictably gambled away my hype and hyperrnft airdrops. etcetc. made lots of mistakes. but if u still reading, the take away is that there's alot of opportunities in the space. quality is usually pretty obvious. the hard part is patience.
