I started my crypto journey in 2021 and this year I show opportunities as also many some drawbacks. But at the end of the year, I could say that crypto has changed my life and I can run my life depending on crypto. I knew about cryptocurrency from 2015/2016 but never worked in its ecosystem or just go preev after 4/5 months and saw the price of BTC. At the beginning of 2021, I got an Airdrop(I am thankful for the moderators and admins of that project) that helps me to get into the crypto world. I sorted some points about losses and gains.

Losses:

• I always try to figure income sources that come from passively. Whenever I saw that any project gave an opportunity of earning passive income, It caught my attention. I saw some gaming projects on wax blockchain that are giving passive income by investing in them (purchasing gaming items). So, I put more than 50% of my savings of crypto, put on two projects. Believe me, it was the worst decision I have ever made in the whole crypto journey. I withdraw my savings from a project that have huge potential at that time(still with high potential). These 2 projects give me nothing but dust tokens with zero value of money. Still, now, I can't even get 20$ from these two projects. Waste of money, waste of time, wrong decision of withdrawn savings.
• When any high-potential project was listed, most of us knew that it made many corrections before reaching a high price. A couple of months ago, a project of my holding got listed in tier 1 exchanges, I dumped it after a couple of hours, I thought, the token will be dumped again, so I should exchange them now. Yes, they dumped. But after some days they gained 400% compared to the price when in sold.
• In the beginning, whenever I saw any coin or token performing great, breaking all-time high prices. I brought some of them. But just then the market crashed. I waited months to recover my losses.
• I made many silly mistakes like sending coins in the wrong network, lost seed phases and authentication phone, forgetting to put stop loss, and many more.

If I side all the mistakes and decisions then I can say that 2021 is a better year to start a journey of crypto. I mentioned some achievements of crypto ecosystems.

• I got lots of airdrops that get me a good amount of free money to start the beginning. I just keep on my eye on various youtube channels and telegram groups that help me to know about new airdrops.

• We all know that the crypto world is full of opportunities and scopes, so I keep my eye on various exchangers and projects, that might give any promotional offers to engage more users. Sometimes, these types of promotions give me a good amount of money.

• I met lots of people that helped me to build a community. People from different fields of crypto helped me to gain knowledge and information about the market.

I admit that the crypto market is full of ups and down but if we research properly, we can be wealthy by crypto. Crypto is a well with no bottom, and I'm still a learner of this market, need to learn lots of things.
