Around 2017/2018, I was introduced to an app called slidecoin, it was used for mining BTC for free without buying any miner or equipment; I had zero knowledge of cryptocurrency. The task was simple, all that was needed is to connect my Coinbase account and Twitter account to the app, every single day, I performed daily tasks by clicking on the task which will redirect me to my Twitter account, it would automatically generate a post for me to publish. Every time I performed a task, the reward was BTC which will be paid to my Coinbase BTC wallet.
A friend of mine introduced me to it but I did it for the fun of it for awhile till I was tired of it and I stopped, fast forward to 2021, when I started paying attention to the crypto space. The news of BTC was already on people's lips, especially during the COVID-19 lockdown, I had a feeling I knew about it but I couldn't figure it out. The mining app was no longer functioning but I still had access to my Coinbase account. I logged in and the BTC I mined was lying there in my wallet.
The value of the btc I had in my wallet was around $3, when I mined it, it was just cents and I mined it for a week or more. Anytime I tell people that I was opportune to mine BTC when it was below $1000, most people think it is a joke, I still have record of it on X (formerly Twitter) till today. If I had mined it more diligently and passionately, who knows what I could have accumulated.
