Hi, I’m Crypto Skenderbeu. But you’ve probably never heard of me.
Whether you know who I am or not, you should know my story.
In 2019, when I was 27 years old, I started with crypto. I was in a tough spot in my life, praying to God that would make it out. That something, anything, would help me. At that very moment, I came across an article about Cardano, a cryptocurrency that I knew very little about. It was like God was shining down on the article that lit up my phone...like I knew, intuitively, what I needed to do. That moment could have changed my life. Why could have? Simply put, I had no idea of the golden moment in front of me. My gut told me I had to throw all the money I could into it without even really knowing what crypto meant. So that’s what I did.
I went all-in with $2500 (everything I could muster) in Cardano at a price of $0.03. I owned 80,000 Cardano.
You may be asking, “why in the world would you put all of your life savings into something you didn’t understand?” But, you have to know me, to know why I would do something like this. I’m the kind of person who’s always had incredibly high goals for myself. The kind of goals that were always out of reach, despite how much I wanted them to come into fruition. This felt like the opportunity to MAKE my dreams come true...even if I wasn’t sure how it worked.
I looked at my 80,000 Cardano and automatically started doubting myself. I thought it wasn't enough to retire and provide my family with the life they deserved. It wasn’t long before I understood how much and how quickly one could make money in the world of crypto. Of course, I spent every free minute researching. My doubt crept in even more and I sold my Cardano. I felt that it progressed too slowly and the 80,000 pieces wouldn't even come close to my goals or provide for my family. That was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. If I sold at the top of the bull run instead of selling then, I would have made $250,000 from a $2,500 investment in 8 months.
During this bull run, instead of kicking myself, I looked into other projects. I had about $3,500 in my wallet – enough to try and make some profit. Then I jumped into various coins. Five days in a row, five rug pulls, and $800 left, things were not looking good. Was the bull run and the crypto story over for me? No.
That’s when Shiba Inu came along. Shiba was hard to digest, but I was so deep in the crypto scene that I was among the first 150 holders of Shiba. How did that happen? Luck, research, and being in the right place at the right time.
Through a tweet from CryptoFrog, I stumbled upon Shiba Inu. The tweet said, "I think I’ve found something, but this shit looks like a scam." My mind started racing. I was deep into crypto and felt like I was on the cusp of finally making my life better, for myself and my family. But I thought about all I had lost...all that I tried to get but never managed to. I was being pulled in two different directions. Could it be the sixth scam in a row? Will I lose everything and probably quit?
My first thought was to pass. To stay far away from the coin and wait for a serious, stable project that wasn’t named after a dog. Two seconds later, I was all in.
My $800 made me a top-150 holder in Shiba at that time. I held the coin for two weeks; after two weeks, my balance dropped to $600 and my heart sank with it. I thought, okay, a $200 loss. It could be worse. It could get way worse. I could leave with nothing. So, I thought, “I gotta get out” and I sold. But, I shouldn't have. I made another mistake that cost me a fortune. Eight months later, I would have reached my goal. My $800 bag would have been worth over $20 million. I guess it is what it is.
The bear market had me. I was back to basically $0. I felt utterly defeated. Now, I’m still here, still with the same goal, and still with the same passion for it (crazy, I know!). Luckily, pumpfun changed the game and gave me a chance.
Recently, I created Flushi and landed directly on Dex. I had no idea how to manage a community or launch a coin. It happened as it should: Flushi crashed, and everyone sold their coins. Because of my worldview and my faith, I was the last to sell Flushi. I didn’t make a cent in profit. I even lost money. With Flushi, I rejected 15 Solana for the community.
Despite losing money I gained something important; I met many new people who stood by my side with Flushi and helped me. With their support and my own goals in mind, I created Broco. Many people were waiting for Broco because they knew who I was and that I don’t dump.
Many took advantage of this and sniped Broco. Broco pumped to 69K MC within two minutes and was jeeted down to 8K MC. I didn’t want to believe it and fought. The community stood by my side, and we pumped Broco back to over 69K MC after two days. Unbelievable but true, Broco went to 220K MC and crashed because new people didn’t understand the history of Broco. We were jeeted down to 15K MC. That’s when I knew it was over. I left Broco almost last. Profit? Not a cent. How much did I fade, again for the community? Around 100 SOL. I posted proof.
If there’s one thing you will learn from my story, it’s that I am not a person who gives up. It’s just not in my nature.
My next project will be MAZA, and I hope MAZA will be the last one.
My goal is to create the first cat in the crypto world to reach a market cap of 1 billion.
I hope I am an inspiration for you to never give up. Whether MAZA works out or not I hope that I can come back to this site in 10 years and tell my children about it. I want to tell them my story, and teach them how they can be successful through all of the trials and tribulations that life throws at them.
I wish you all much success on this journey and good health for you and your loved ones.
