A Reflection of my Life Before and After Discovering Cryptocurrency and Blockchain

It's late night here in Nigeria and i am preparing to sleep but before i do that, i just want to reflect on how i have been living my life before my discovery of cryptocurrency and then blockchain and then steemit and then bitshares and then EOS and then SMTs and then i'm checking out what have change and what hasn't.

The list of things i got introduced to after first discovering Bitcoin few year back goes on like a bottomless pit, that's how deep it is. It's really amazing looking back and seeing how my life has transformed ever since i came into this industry.

Before i came into cryptocurrency industry, i use to be a young guy with much interest in online money making opportunities because i practically lack money like some people might lack something important in their life. At that time, the most important thing in life to me was money and that same thing was what i was fucking lacking.

But i am young, just 15 years of age then, so why should money be the most important thing in life to me?

Because at a very young age, i faced the most challenging challenges of life and at a point i wanted to take my life to end everything.

So what i use to think then was that if i had enough money, there is more i could do to prevent or avert some challenges and afflictions of life that i was being faced with. This thinking pattern alter my step into internet money making world.

When i first discovered i could actually make money online, i placed my focus solely on that course of making money but the more focus i placed on making money, the less money i make to solve my money issue and overcome challenges of life. But when my focus changed to giving value out, money became the side effect.

I'm an all around guy and i did virtually all internet businesses at my reach but never found success with anyone because i was never focused and i still struggle with focus till date. But i honestly think i am getting better now as i have been consistently writing on steemit everyday for few months. One of the things most intelligent people struggle with is focus. Somehow i feel like i am losing out on something if i focus on another (I'm not saying i'm intelligent).

I did blogging, and i have admined 3 different blogs owned by myself before, all were later failure. I tried to sell information products by getting master resale right to dozens of ebooks and public articles, somehow i failed at marketing and ended up losing money instead of making it.

I did freelancing and tried to sell writing gig on fiverr but after one week of no order i quit and moved forward. I lay my hands on Binary options trading and it was making pretty good sense with some trading bot at my disposal not until binary.com manipulated the system and my losing trades was getting bigger than my winning.

I tried affiliate marketing but the challenge there was that most of the affiliate marketing companies in the world that are making sense and money restricted Nigeria, my country.

And Cryto Came

I started with faucting, getting paid a fraction of altcoins for wasting time my precious time online (is there anyone still doing fauceting?). Somehow my faucets earning never added up even though i read a story of a 16 year old that made $1000 fauceting.

I was too poor i couldn't lay my hands on a single bitcoin even when the price was $200 and ethereum was around $2 per coin then, that would have been a major breakthrough for me.

I did tried out day trading low market cap coins and i was successful with a strategy i use to buy before there is a pump and sell when the big guys are dumping.

This little success with day trading, made me pay more attention to cryptocurrencies and one day in the middle of searching for undervalued cryptos to buy in 2017, i came across @cryptonick youtube video and from there i joined steemit and came on board.

Wow i can't believe i have typed over 600 words, i need to take some rest guys, we will continue tomorrow.

Goodnight - Goodmorning, depending on what part of the world you are
