Crypto Journey Part 1😈🎉📈🐂🐻📉
Hey Guys, today want to share personal story about my intro in Crypto, don’t forget to subscribe, like 👍🏻 and comment if you wish to see further posts like this.
I’m working as merchant navy since December 2013, so I have completed my first contract and came back home 🇺🇦 from my first ship in beg of July 2014.
I have a cousin who have been already familiar with #BTC at that time and we were spending a lot of time together.I came back from my trip with a good money in my pocket and had around 8-9k$. The summer in Odesa was hot and nice so I was partying in nightclubs,restaurants and so on quite frequently.
My cousin sees this and he start telling me “Bro, invest at least 1000$ in Bitcoin and forget about it for next 5 years”. I did not fully understand what is this and consider that is completely scam so I didn’t. For your info if we are going back to BTC chart history in July 2014 it was worth ~525$ and price was bearish as it keeps falling. So in the best case scenario I could have bought almost or around 2 BTC but I didn’t.🤷‍♂️
So the next time I have heard about BTC in summer 2017 when Bitcoin was in bull market and my friend just told me that BTC reaches 3000$ but I was keep skeptic and still consider it a scam.
The next BTC story I heard from same friend and he was telling to me that “Imagine bitcoin price reaches 13000$ “ it was back in December 2017 that time I already considered that it will be 0$ and could not rise more.
This was my first time hearing about Bitcoin but I never consider it different than just a scam or financial ponzi scheme.
Finally when I was working in 🇳🇬 company in 2021 the guys keep asking me if I’m in crypto, cause almost all nigerians onboard were doing crypto, and start asking my colleagues how to trade,invest sell and etc. Especially I became interested when one of lowest rank guy onboard had made per one day profit of 1700$ on crypto when his monthly salary been around 1300$. #cryptotalks #lifestory

🔄 What It Will Take to Make Bitcoin a Real Medium of Exchange

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold—it’s digital potential.

But for it to work like real money, we need more than memes and moon talk:

✅ Speed – Lightning network is helping, but it needs to be seamless.
✅ Stability – Volatility must be tamed for daily spending.
✅ Adoption – Merchants, apps, governments all need skin in the game.
✅ Mindset Shift – People must stop seeing BTC as just a vault and start seeing it as a tool.

We don’t need everyone to spend their BTC—just enough to show it’s more than a store of value. That’s how we make history practical.

And it starts with us.

🪙 If You Had 10,000 BTC Today—Would You Ever Spend It?

The real question isn’t “What would you buy?”
It’s “Would you have the courage to use it?”

Laszlo spent 10,000 BTC on pizza. We call it crazy now. But if no one used Bitcoin, it’d just be code with hype.

If I had 10,000 BTC today, I’d probably hedge, stake, trade, maybe even lend. But spend it? That takes belief that what’s coming is bigger than what’s here now.

💡Holding = safety.
📢Spending = signal.
Both matter.

Because for crypto to live, someone’s gotta take the first bite.

🏪 How Crypto Could Reshape Everyday Spending in the Next 10 Years

Crypto isn’t just for charts and trading—it’s a blueprint for freedom.

In the next 10 years, we might not think about using crypto—we’ll just do it. Tap your phone, pay in USDT, BTC, or even that day’s hot airdrop token. No banks, no borders, no conversions.

🛒 Grocery shopping? Instant stablecoin payment.
✈️ Booking flights? Earn cashback in tokens.
🧾 Subscriptions? Auto-pay with your staking rewards.

What we’re doing now—daily trades, hedging, farming, claiming Alpha Points—is building the foundation.

Crypto will be spending, not speculation.

We’re just early.

🍕 What Bitcoin Pizza Day Tells Us About Early Adoption & Risk-Taking

Back in 2010, someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. It sounds insane now—those coins would be worth hundreds of millions today. But let’s be real: without people like that taking a leap, none of us would even be here trading or earning from crypto.

🔸 Was it a mistake? Maybe.
🔸 Was it necessary? Absolutely.

That “pizza guy” didn’t just buy lunch. He proved Bitcoin could be used like real money. And every early adopter since then has carried that same spirit—risking today for the future we believe in.

Fast forward to now—we’re trading, yield farming, airdrop hunting, hedging spot with futures, learning the system inside out. It’s easy to forget how far we’ve come.

Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t just about pizza—it’s about the price of belief, and how bold actions shape the world we’re building.

🚀 Keep experimenting. Keep learning. And always manage your risk—because even a pizza can change the game.

#BitcoinPizzaDay #BinanceSquare #LearnAndDiscuss

🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day: Then vs. Now 🍕
🗓️ 2010: 10,000 BTC = 2 pizzas
💸 2025: 10,000 BTC = a private island, a Lambo garage, and generational wealth 💰

⚠️ Back then? Early adoption = risky.
🔥 Today? Crypto is just getting started.

🔮 In 10 years:
🛒 Everyday spending in crypto
🏪 BTC as a real currency, not just digital gold
📲 Instant payments. Borderless. Permissionless.

💭 Would you ever spend 10,000 BTC today?
Or will we only use sats when Bitcoin becomes the new Visa?

🔸 Binance Alpha Airdrop — Strategy, Risks & Big Rewards 💰🚀

A new Alpha Points-based airdrop is LIVE, and smart traders are securing 198 $NXPC = ~$600 by simply hitting the required score! Here’s what you need to know ⬇️

⸻

🔍 🎯 Goal: Earn at least 187 Alpha Points by the deadline!
👉 That’s just 13 points/day for 15 days = 195 points (safe margin ✅)

⸻

⚠️ Risk Assessment:
Only join if you can consistently hit daily targets. Missing points could disqualify you.

⸻

🔥 Why This Airdrop Is a Game-Changer:
✅ Alpha Point requirements are now fixed, not increasing with every airdrop
✅ Previous airdrops under this system brought $300+ profit each
✅ Run multiple accounts (if eligible) to maximize gains

⸻

💡 Low-Risk Strategy to Farm Points Efficiently:
1️⃣ Use Web3 Wallet trading
2️⃣ Choose BNB with a mild pump (+2–3%)
3️⃣ Wait for a favorable dip — then Buy
4️⃣ Within 30 seconds, Sell the Alpha token for USDT
✔️ This Buy + Sell = Trading Volume which counts toward Alpha Points!

⸻

📌 Pro Tip: Always check your Alpha Points progress on the official airdrop page to stay on track.

🛡️ Simple Guide: How to Hedge Your Spot Position Using Futures on Binance

Worried about short-term price drops while holding crypto? 📉
Use Binance Futures to hedge your spot holdings and protect your portfolio. Here’s how 👇

⸻

📘 What is Hedging?

Hedging is like buying insurance for your crypto.
You open an opposite position in Futures to offset possible losses in Spot.

⸻

💡 Example: Hedging 1 $BTC Spot

Let’s say you own 1 BTC on Spot and want to protect it from a drop in price:
1. Go to Binance Futures
2. Choose BTCUSDT Perpetual contract
3. Open a Short (Sell) position of 1 BTC
→ Now if BTC price falls, your Futures profit offsets Spot losses.

🔁 If price rises, Spot gains > Futures loss = still covered

⸻

✅ Step-by-Step
1. Hold crypto on Spot (e.g., BTC, ETH)
2. Go to Binance Futures
3. Use Isolated Margin if you want to limit risk
4. Open short position = same size as your Spot holding
5. Monitor and adjust position if needed

⸻

🧠 Pro Tips
• Use 1x leverage if you’re just hedging, not speculating
• Close hedge when risk is over (e.g., market stabilizes)
• Make sure you have enough margin to avoid liquidation
• This works for other coins too: ETH, SOL, BNB, etc.

⸻

Hedging = Protection, not profit.
Stay in the game, reduce risk, and trade smarter. 🧠

FORM/USDT is showing increased trading activity, reflecting growing interest in the token. Currently trading in a consolidation range, FORM appears to be building momentum for a potential breakout. The support zone lies near 2.50–2.60, while resistance levels are observed around 2.90 and 3.10. A breakout above these levels could trigger a strong bullish move, especially with favorable market sentiment.

Open interest and volume on perpetual contracts are rising, hinting at increased speculative positioning. Traders should watch for a clear breakout with volume confirmation. Given its volatility, proper risk management and stop-loss placement are essential when trading this pair.

Crypto Journey Part 7 🚀 | All-In on Alpha Points

As of today, I’ve already collected 142 #AlphaPoints — and I’m consistently farming around 16 points per day.

📎 My full guide on how I farm Alpha Points is available via the link AlphaPoints strategy — check it out if you’re just starting.

In my honest opinion:
✅ It’s worth both the time and money right now.

Why?

Because every week, there’s a new opportunity —
Unlike some testnets or retrodrops where I waited months just to receive nothing or $5, Alpha Points campaigns are actually paying off.

For example:

💰 Weekly airdrops via #BinanceAlphaPoints can range anywhere from $100 to $700 — and that’s a game-changer compared to:

❌ Testnets where you grind for half a year to get $20
❌ Overhyped retrodrops everyone’s doing but barely anyone is rewarded
❌ Mainnets where being early doesn’t guarantee anything

That’s why right now, my main focus is Alpha Points — and I’m doubling down.

But I’m also staying active elsewhere:

🧪 Testing Monad testnet
🌉 Interacting regularly with Stargate Bridge to possibly qualify for the $ZRO airdrop
⚡ Farming SuperStacks XP on the Optimism ecosystem
⏳ Tracking potential drops from projects like Eclipse, Solana L2s, and others

This time, I’m more strategic — chasing high-effort = high-reward projects instead of doing what “everyone else is doing.”

⸻

👉 In Part 8, I’ll break down my strategies, what I avoid, and how I decide which campaigns are worth grinding — plus, I’ll share my current portfolio strategy while farming airdrops.

Crypto Journey Part 5 🌊 | From Loss to Cosmos

By June 2023, I had just returned from another contract and moved to Ireland 🇮🇪.
At that point, my portfolio was worth around $11,000.

I was no longer a rookie —
🎓 Took crypto courses
📚 Learned Smart Money concepts
🦈 Understood different strategies
I felt like a shark in the ocean — confident and sharp.

I stored most of my major holdings on a Ledger Nano X for extra security.

But then… disaster hit.

📍 While in Dublin, I lost my Ledger, my phone, and my notebooks — including seed phrases for multiple wallets.

It was brutal.

Especially when I watched $SUI hit $4, knowing a chunk of mine was locked, inaccessible without the Ledger.
I still had access to the wallets — but couldn’t move funds.
That felt like a gross loss, and it crushed my motivation.

I stopped all crypto activity until October 2023.

Then, while working again, I made a fresh deposit of $1,000, bought a few coins, and the market started recovering fast.
Some coins gave me 300% gains, and I was back in the game. 🔥

📆 On January 2, 2024, I returned home and made a shift in focus:

🧭 I started airdrop hunting.

I dove into the Cosmos($ATOM )ecosystem — learning how to:
✅ Stake for airdrops
✅ Provide liquidity on DeFi platforms like Stride
✅ Participate in early-stage testnets
✅ Farm native tokens

Throughout early 2024, I became deeply focused on airdrops, staking, and ecosystem farming within Cosmos.
It wasn’t just trading anymore — it was strategic participation.

⸻

👉 In Part 6, I’ll share my airdrop wins, best Cosmos plays, and how I started tracking Alpha Points to make smarter moves in real time.

Crypto Journey Part 4 💡 | From Liquidations to Long-Term Vision

The morning after my BTC short got liquidated, I barely made it to my U.S. Embassy interview — exhausted and frustrated.
But somehow… it went well ✅

I came home and made a decision:
🔁 No more futures.
📈 Back to Spot investing — with a clearer mind.

I deposited around $1,000 and started over.

This time, I went deep on #CoinMarketCap, researching hundreds of tokens. That night, I began buying $10–$15 worth of every coin that looked promising.

By the end of the night, I held over 30 different cryptocurrencies.
I didn’t know it yet, but this was my first real lesson in diversification.

What happened next?

The market started recovering fast — it was December 2022, and the famous “Santa Rally” had begun 🎅📈

I saw some coins grow from $10 to $15 or $20. Gains were small, but steady.
Still, I realized I had spread myself too thin.

So I made another move —
💡 I sold the small winners
💰 Consolidated into fewer coins with larger positions
💱 Started buying stablecoins with fiat for flexibility

In early 2023, my portfolio grew to between $10K–$14K.
I focused on new promising projects, like:
🚀 #Aptos
🌐 #SUI
🔗 #ARB
…and others I believed in long-term.

That’s when I also got curious about airdrops.
I kept seeing posts and videos about people making real money from simple tasks — especially with the hype around Arbitrum and Aptos.

But back then, I was still just a spot investor — buying, holding, and watching.
I hadn’t yet joined the airdrop game… but I was getting ready.

⸻

👉 In Part 5, I’ll talk about how I started actively hunting airdrops, joined campaigns, and discovered the power of being early.

Have you ever been part of a successful airdrop? Or missed one and regretted it? Let’s talk below 👇

Crypto Journey Part 3 ⚡ | Liquidations, Lessons & Late-Night Trades

After a year of observing the market, I got pulled back in.
📆 In November 2022, I became interested in Futures Trading. I joined a few Telegram groups with signals, saw all the ads promising massive profits, and decided to try again — deposited $100.

I got a signal. Took the trade.
And just like that — liquidated. 🤡

It hit hard.

But instead of quitting, I doubled down — started reading, watching YouTube trading channels, and trying to understand what went wrong.

I deposited another $150 and followed another signal. This time, liquidation hit even faster — right during the FTX collapse, when the market tanked unexpectedly. The bearish move wiped me out before I could even react.

I blamed the signal providers at first. I was frustrated. It felt unfair.

But I didn’t give up.

I found new Telegram channels, more reliable ones — some offering decent signals, and I even started private trading deals, sharing profits 50/50 with a few guys.

By that time, Bitcoin had dropped below $16,000 — if you remember how brutal the crash was after FTX went down.

Around the same time, I relocated from Bulgaria 🇧🇬 to Romania 🇷🇴, since the war in Ukraine had already turned into full-scale invasion. Life was unstable — but I clung to trading as something I could control.

🗓 From November to December 2022, I focused only on futures.
Sometimes I hit big wins — $800+ in a single trade.
Other days, liquidation again.

But this time, I wasn’t just gambling — I was learning, testing strategies, staying connected to the market 24/7.
I was obsessed.

Then came the next turning point…

📉 In late December, as BTC started recovering, I was holding short positions.
It was risky.
I didn’t sleep the night before my U.S. Embassy interview in Bucharest — glued to the charts, stressed, waiting for the bounce.
And yes… I got liquidated again….
Drop a 💬 if you’ve ever been liquidated. You’re not alone.

Crypto Journey Part 2 🚀 | How It Really Started

If you haven’t read the first part yet, you can find it on my profile 🧷 or tap this link 🔗 Crypto Joirney Part 1

Let’s rewind to summer 2021 — I was getting more and more curious about the world of crypto. I wanted to invest, but life was moving fast…

🏝 I was on vacation

🏢 Looking for a new company

🏠 Bought my first apartment

🚗 Got my first Porsche (yes, really)

💸 And most of my money? Locked in Bonds

By the time I got home on June 1st, 2021, I already had an offer to join the next ship on July 10th. I had neither the time nor the liquidity to jump into crypto right away.

But finally — in September 2021 — I returned home, and that’s when it all began.

📲 I registered on #Binance and made my first deposit: $3,000

Crypto was everywhere that year. Everyone was talking about Bitcoin, and one of my friends helped me get started. I bought my first coins without knowing anything about charts, trends, or market psychology.

Back then, my favorite token was #GALA — not because of the fundamentals, but because it sounded like my grandma’s name: Galina. Everyone used to call her “Gala” ❤️

At that time, I barely knew what I was doing — I just figured out how to deposit fiat, buy, and sell. 😅

Here’s a snapshot of my balance from back then (attached 📸).

My early portfolio included coins like:

💰 $TWT

💎 $ETH

🌊 $ADA

⚡️ $XRP

…and whatever was trending on #CoinMarketCap.

I was mainly testing how everything worked. I even started paying bills in crypto — like at restaurants — just to see if I could actually use it.

By October 2021, I had spent my entire balance and simply started observing the market instead.

From October 2021 to November 2022, I wasn’t holding any coins — but I kept reading, watching, learning every single day.
Then something changed…
#CryptoJourney #Binance #CryptoLife

Another day anoter TGE on #BinanceWallet
Here i mini guide if you are eligible and the guide how you should participate in any TGE with #BNB
So frequently you will be able to see that once Binance announced TGE the price of BNB will slowly rise, as per current rules maximum you could deposit 3 BNB per TGE
Todays TGE was #AGT if you had at least 186 #AlphaPoints you will be eligible to participate, in this case you go to BNB/USDT or BNB/USDC and let’s say you have enough to buy 3 BNB, next you need to hedge your position in case after TGE BNB will rapidly decrease in price, you proceed to Futures and open short position. I would recommend leverage not higher than 5x and you will need for margin in this case about 400$ (depends on current price of BNB).
So like this you are secured from losses in case BNB will increase in price you will compensate your short position on Futures with the spot position and vice versa.
Follow me,like and repost if you like future posts!
Wish you always a green PnL 💚
