Beyond the Loss: Discovering Joy in Life's Little Delights

By katerinaramm | katerinaramm | 22 Mar 2024


I have lost more than 150$ in these last few weeks. And it's never good to lose money :(

This is a short story about how I almost got it back, in a different way! Why I am writing about it? To let you know that you should never give up, there is always light behind the clouds..!

In case you have not seen the news, a couple of weeks ago, there were many authors that were banned when a new algorithm was implemented in Medium Platform.

A great number of authors/platform users (including myself) received an automated message that their account was banned, without more information about the reasons behind this.

In my case, this has resulted to a loss of $138 earned amount for my previous month's earnings, + $20 a few days in March + $15 the subscription that I had paid in Medium. The above amounts are for ever lost (if they do not re-instate my account) - I have requested a manual/human review and I am waiting.

Of course I was feeling lost, sad, hurt. It took me a while until I could deal with it.

But today, I was notified that I won a contest held by Nexo - and I have earned $100! I consider this to be a great luck, because I never win in contests... the most recent contest I ever won was the Bad Luck Prize by @onealfa (and that was laaaaaast year :))

I dont participate often in Twitter contests. When I do, I know that I will never win, but I do it for fun - or to support a project.

In this case, it was a fun contest by Nexo, where we should take a screenshot of their video and post it. 3 winners would win 100$ in the coin of their screenshot.

Guess what I won! $UNI !!

The funny thing is that I never had this crypto in my portfolio.

In total, 667 persons participated to the contest.

This is the message I received

So, I am really thankful to life for reminding me that there is hope and to Nexo of course!

p.s. If you are thinking of creating a NEXO account, you can look for a referral (or use mine here) so that you both earn an extra 25$ in BTC, after you deposit 100$ in the platform. I have been using it for years, keep some of my crypto there and also use the credit card for some of my online buys/bills.

Thank you for dropping by, as always and remember, to never give up!
Keep your head up and be proud of yourself!
