How one risky move changed everything for ME… I only heard about @MagicEden after the first airdrop happened - and since I never touched NFTs before, of course I didn’t get anything)) I wasn’t trading at all. So I kinda ignored it at first, wasn’t into NFTs back then. BUT when the chance came to stake $ME for 4 years, it made me think. Spent two weeks doubting, calculating, analyzing (honestly, it was exhausting). And in the end-I went for it. On Jan 15, I staked 12,500 $ME (which was $25k at the time). It was a BIG MOVE for me. I had no clue where it’d lead, but without risk, you can’t expect anything big - so I pulled the trigger👀 Uncertainty lasted exactly one month. On Feb 14, EVERYTHING CHANGED. The team suddenly redistributed the unclaimed rewards from the airdrop I missed (from Season 0), and I got 29,000 $ME (worth $50k). My stake doubled in a month. That’s when I realized Magic Eden wasn’t just a platform - it was a long-term team that actually values the people who believe in them... After that, I started creating content about ME, joined the community, got the Familia role, and began talking directly with the team. They don’t just listen - they really hear you. After S1 ended, I got a drop of 37,000 $ME (around $29k). I was actually expecting 32k-34k based on my trade volume - I had calculated everything down to my projected rank. That whole process - planning, hoping, not knowing, made it really fun. And in the end... I got more than I thought. But not everyone was happy with their rewards, and once again the team did the unthinkable: they listened to the feedback and rebalanced the drop. That’s when I knew - this is the project I wanna stick with 🫶 Now S2 is almost over. I’m top 1%, ranked 50th, with around $1,500 in costs and over $450k in trade volume. Even with that, I pretty much broke even thanks to rune trading and a solid BTC/SOL rebalance. It wasn’t easy - but it was wild, exciting, and super valuable. I gained new skills, new experience, new connections. I don’t know where this path will take me. There are still 3.5 more years of drops, seasons, updates, and innovations ahead. But even now, I’ve already gained more than I ever expected: skills, rewards, friends, community support, and that gut feeling that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. Magic Eden isn’t just a platform. It’s a future crypto giant. On the level of Uniswap, Binance, Ethereum. And I’m proud to be a part of it 🫡
