Why I consider leaving Crypto..

(So apparently, this is like a sort of part 2 to the post I made yesterday)

As someone with so many crazy ideas in my mind, I've realized that healthy desperation can drive creative innovation, and even at that, one thing I'll never do is do anything that's not ethical. For example, in 2025 I realized that crypto KOLS could make money from talking about other crypto projects on twitter.

This crypto KOLS made a lot of money, and the efforts they offered was very little for how much they made, so I thought about what I would do, and discovered a very brilliant plan.

I decided to check for an average big account on twitter, pitched this idea to them. The idea was that they were going to let me run their account, contribute to these crypto project and then we can get paid together.

The person in question had no idea this was possible, so I taught them how it was supposed to work.

First two to three months, we almost didn't earn anything, but after the business partnership (about 9 months) this person earned $50,000. although the problem was that the person majorly scammed me, and never really gave me the money I deserved, and even after the small percentage I was able to wrestle out of them, 50% of the money still got hacked from my wallet which was actually what has left me in my current financial position.

The reality of the situation is that there's money to be made on the internet. I've seen it first hand and seen it elsewhere with crazy proof.

However, it's not the same for everyone, and this is why partnership makes the biggest sense.

But before we talk about that, let's talk about essential things that are honestly necessary, which are **the knowledge on how to do it, a little investment, time and patience, effort, creativity and consistency, with the biggest and most important ingredient being the LOCATION of the person(s) aiming to make money.

Let's talk about why location is very important.
The US, CANADA, GERMANY, AUSTRIA and even the UK are some of the places with the biggest purchasing power in the world. So there are more online opportunities opened to people who are in these locations.

Now why are people there not taking advantage of all of these opportunities?

The answer is that a lot of people in these places either don't know about them, or they're actively busy with other things to start chasing internet money. The third excuse would be disparity in connection, trust and communication (which I think Hive actually bridge, i.e a person from Pakistan can easily build something online with someone in Germany because the Blockchain has already bridge whatever divide that may have kept them apart.

The non-invasive method

Now YouTube is one of the biggest opportunities especially for a person who is in most of the locations I mentioned above.

I tested this theory myself. I've been doing YouTube for a few months and I've seen accounts based in YouTube pulling in crazy numbers in revenue, subscription and views even though we made almost the same type of videos, with my video actually being the first to be uploaded.

So basically the location means you actively get pushed to more audience in the location before content quality is even considered, now how about that? This isn't even all. This content can be cross posted on Facebook and you get to earn from Facebook and YouTube for the same content..

Now this isn't a "GET RICH QUICK SCHEME" apparently the content has to be somewhat "very good" but basically if the content is good and you follow other rules very holistically, then monetization should follow after posting twice or thrice a week for 3 months.

The advantage is after monetization, you can hit ~$1000 a month, especially if you follow the YouTube rules, and not get demonitized (depending on niches) and after 6 months $6k to 10k should be bagged, which should be more if you reinvest a bit of that back into buying some tools, then 15k to 20k after one year is more than possible (that's if your subscribers don't grow which is almost not possible)

The INVASIVE METHODS

now these methods are the AI training platform. We have a few like OUTLIER and HANDSHAKE. So I'm not really going to go into a lot of detail except I get someone who is willing to partner with me on this.

I have a professional who's basically one of the best in the business, and this is a partnership that could potentially print $10k a month, and if you do this for four months without the accounts for the job not getting restricted, then this is a potential 40 to 50k after 4 months, completely ethical, legal and best pays for UK and US citizens.

Now the reason why I call it invasive is that you'll be required to put in your CV, and other details, but the biggest advantage here is that you can participate for just 4 months, make $40k in income, stop the job, buy crypto, wait for the market to pump, make a little X10 and then just take that money and invest in an IRL opportunity and end all your struggles.

The advantage is, it's a quick money, I've got a professional already to work on the jobs with training the AIs, but our partner in the US or UK has to be willing to put in their details while we actively manage the accounts from here do the job interviews and do the work. If you're interested in this one, then do your research about handshake AI, or OUTLIER.

Why I'm doing this?

Well it looks like crypto is mostly not going to be life-changing, and having been in it for a while, it's that time to consider something a bit different.

so I and my partner (who is a STEM professional) wants to invest in an interview real life business, which is basically a money printer in Nigeria, but we simply need initial money to invest on this. With the YouTube opportunity, we can take our share of the profit and build this business offline, while also making sure our potential partner in any of the country we mention above gets a huge share of the money instead of just a "thank for helping us".

I believe in someone being rewarded for having the courage to help us establish. Because they're like an angel investor that believed in US when no one took the bold courage.

Sort:  

Sorry to hear about what happened with your wallet, losing 50% of what you'd already fought hard to recover on top of being underpaid by that partner is a rough combination. That kind of setback would make anyone reconsider their path.

The YouTube route you tested does sound like the more sustainable option of the two you mentioned, consistency and content quality compounding over months is a model that's proven itself for a lot of creators, and it doesn't carry the same risks as chasing quick wins.

Wishing you the best in finding something more stable, whether that ends up being content creation, the real-world business idea, or something else. Sometimes stepping back from crypto for a while is exactly what's needed to reset and rebuild with a clearer head.

Actually the plans I have are almost raw plans that still needs a lot of fine-tuning to work. But I'm definitely certain it's going to work the partnership I seek works out completely.
Also, it's not more guaranteed than being involved with crypto, it's just looking for something that could even help me be an independent crypto investor without worrying about bull or bear market.

In reality, crypto is what I'm actually very passionate about, thanks to Hive. So it's just me, seeking for an opportunity that lets me invest in crypto and not worry about when it pumps or dumps.

You get it?

I'm very interested in what you're building too. The idea of finding an opportunity that allows you to be independent from the pump and dump cycles of the crypto market is fascinating — that's exactly what many of us are looking for.

I think the combination of a solid partnership and a conscious crypto investment strategy could really work. I'd like to stay in touch with you and follow how your plans develop.

Keep going! 🚀

You're right about these countries having more online opportunities and the pay is really good. Survey gigs, Ai training and the rest. And that Handshake and Outlier are the real deal.

I belong to a WhatsApp group where some of these gigs are shared but location is the challenge.

I hope you find one who'd be willing to partner with you.

Yeah, there are lots of WhatsApp groups and places, the problem is always finding that Yankee connect that's willing to help or partner with you. In reality there are, but the truth is that they're few. Don't even count fellow Nigerians over there, because those ones wouldn't even listen to you.

Thank you so much for your well wishes..

This is a great innovation, I don’t know that idea like this exists. One of the problem will have in this part of the world is that we are limited in a lot of way in setting up an online account, most of platforms doesn’t allow Nigerians to register for reasons best known to them. Getting initial capital is also important as it determines how far someone will go in the business.

The initial capital I need for my business is actually the reason why I'm running from pillar to post, honestly the only way anyone can enjoy being in crypto is not depending on it. Just buy low and sell high, and forget whenever there's a dump... So hopefully something works out on my end, there's a lot of internet opportunities, the only problem here is that OUR LOCATION is a very big problem, and having someone oversea who is willing, helps you a whole lot

A lot of people overseas are sceptical of Nigeria, some of them are not willing to render an helping hand and I also think that it is because of the policy over there.

It's rough out there, and I just think that crypto isn't the way to get a stable living. Trading is more like gambling and even BTC will have times where the price just doesn't move or dump. Let's hope the ideas work out, but there is just so many things that I don't even understand. I guess we can't avoid learning it since the opportunities are only there for people who take them.

Yes, there's a lot to learn, although learning can be straining but honestly, it can be profitable when the knowledge is applicable to making money. Done a lot of crazy research, and keep making more research everyday. I believe that a man who keeps trying "things" will eventually get lucky some day

I'm curious though, what are you planning to do with your Hive account and stake if you move away from crypto? Are you considering powering down your Hive stake too, or keeping it as a long-term position?

I'm currently focused on getting the business models and ideas to work first, and that's the headache I'm currently having at the moment..

Brother, I pray to Almighty Allah that your dream comes true very soon. Best wishes for you!
