...back in the day you could post "interested" on the thread of NEM (New Economy Movement) and you received a so-called NEMstake worth 2.25 million XEM. Yes you read that right.
Some people became multi-millionaires for posting a simple "interested" on a thread - if you did manage to HODL. XEM's peak was over $1.50/XEM. Granted, not many people are able (either on purpose or by accident) to hodl for that long, in fact it's probably less than 1% of all people in crypto
So next time you feel special about your stake in a promising project, keep this in mind. Not saying that this will ever happen again (it could have been a one time thing) but never say never, right?
I could remember those good old days, everything about cryptocurrency was easy, very interesting and encouraging. But the reverse has been the case presently, it veey difficult to get free coins and even after the stress the probability of getting up to 10$ after holding for a while is uncertain and discouraging
