Life is full of ups and downs, every human is expected to miss at least one opportunity once in our life time, it can be knowingly or unknowingly. It is easier for a human, to miss what you aren't looking for and in that moment, we miss opportunity that could have last us for a life time.
Speaking of lost opportunity, I have had some but I would only be talking about the most popular on the list, since I still have memory of the details. One of the greatest knowledge I'm proud of acquiring, is the knowledge of the crypto space. The crypto space is filled with lot of opportunities, having access to the right opportunity at the right time could change the narrative of a person's life forever.
Around 2017/2018, I was introduced to an app called slidecoin, it was used for mining BTC for free without buying any miner or equipment; I had zero knowledge of cryptocurrency. The task was simple, all that was needed is to connect my Coinbase account and Twitter account to the app, every single day, I performed daily tasks by clicking on the task which will redirect me to my Twitter account, it would automatically generate a post for me to publish. Every time I performed a task, the reward was BTC which will be paid to my Coinbase BTC wallet.
A friend of mine introduced me to it but I did it for the fun of it for awhile till I was tired of it and I stopped, fast forward to 2021, when I started paying attention to the crypto space. The news of BTC was already on people's lips, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown, I had a feeling I knew about it but I couldn't figure it out. The mining app was no longer functioning but I still had access to my Coinbase account. I logged in and the BTC I mined was lying there in my wallet.
The value of the btc I had in my wallet was around $3, when I mined it, it was just cents and I mined it for a week or more. Anytime I tell people that I was opportune to mine BTC when it was below $1000, most people think it is a joke, I still have record of it on X (formerly Twitter) till today. If I had mined it more diligently and passionately, who knows what I could have accumulated.
