Since @MJ DeMarco decided to close my original thread while I was in the middle of replying to his comment and couldn't publish it after taking some time to write my POV, I'd like to post it on here to get my final message across. (I hope that's ok and I don't mean to break any rules).
This is what I wanted to say:
First off, I NEVER said that achieving a $100m+ networth is equivalent to investing in 50-100 shitcoins hoping 1 of them hit. Please reference exactly where I said this, otherwise it's simply your opinion and not a fact, and in that case at least write it that way and remove all bias.
2nd, I never laughed at nor disrespected anyone here - but the opposite is true. I'd like to think most people who were showing criticism did it with good intentions, but many didn't and said things in a very disrespectful and derogatory way. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but there's a difference in simply disagreeing with someone and giving a recommendation, vs trying to completely brush them off/put them down.
3rd, this is an introductory post with the aim of sharing my story and my plan going forward. I'm not sure what kind of "value" you or others expected me to give here, but if you read carefully everything I shared, you will find plenty of value and lessons to take away from what I shared here. But it's up to you or the individual how they interpret it. What's valuable to me me seem not very valuable to you if that's how you interpret it as, which is fine.
4th, as I said many times - my success was NOT a result of "luck". And while yes luck played a factor, and yes I was at the right place at the right time - if it was so easy then everyone would be getting "lucky" and making bank with crypto, which obv wasn't the case. I created my own "luck" by timing the market in the right moment, going all-in, dedicating a lot of time to research promising projects (not just shitcoins), personally assisted the teams of many of those projects with marketing + positioning to grow quicker through the network that I built, and came across DOZENS if not hundreds of projects that went from nothing to 100m+ MC (from <100k), more than anyone else I know of in the space. Some of which I sold too soon, some of which I didn't sell in time, but ALL of which I discovered super early & earlier than 99.99% of people, shared it in my groups, and me + my friends won together and made a lot of money from. And again, not all of them were complete shitcoins, some were also legit projects with an actual & valuable usecase, hence it blew up. Also a lot of the shitcoins also had ambitions to create utility as well, but very few actually delivered on their promises (whether it was intentionally or unintentionally, I have no idea).
That's why it's quite annoying hearing comments like these from people who don't know or understand what they're talking about. Not every meme/shitcoin was completely & utterly useless like Doge (even Shiba had a usecase and created a DEX of its own at least later on), and not every project that went to 100m+ as a fair/stealth launch was a meme/shitcoin either. There were a lot of great projects along the way too, one of which funnily enough called Poocoin, but despite the funny name - the team has created a very impressive platform where you can see charts, buy/sell tokens, check your wallet balance, etc. and became the go-to place to trade crypto for BSC projects. Interesting enough, speaking of which - one of my friends bought a bunch of these when it just launched just for fun for like $100-200, and if he held them for another month or 2, that would have turned into $1-2m. And once again, it is ironically NOT a shitcoin, because the team actually developed incredible usecase for it through their decentralized trading platform.
And there's nothing wrong with taking advantage of an opportunity to make easy money in a moral & ethical way. Let me ask you something - hypothetically speaking, if someone told you that you had a ~50% chance of winning a $1m lottery if you buy 100 $100 golden lottery tickets (while for this example's sake a standard ticket was $3-5 with extremely low odds of winning) - wouldn't you take advantage of this opportunity, make a calculated risk, and go for it? And this doesn't mean that you can ONLY do this OR start/run/own a business - they are not mutually exclusive and you are welcome to do both. Pretty sure most people would take a calculated risk and go for it.
Finally, I don't really care what other new people did or what happened to them in the past, and there's no need to compare me to them. I am my own person and on my own journey, and I do expect a lot of challenges along the way, but I will never run away from those challenges and give up on my dreams like they may have done, no matter how hard things get. I understand it's necessary to pass them in order to level up & reach the next stage in life, much leveling up in a video game and getting to level 100 comes with a lot of challenges, but incredible rewards as well when you get there.
And life is much like a video game, where you have to play to win and constantly level up and go through all the challenges that are thrown your way to prove your worth.
