I always believed deep in my heart that everything happens for the best. My company that I loved working for was acquired by Adobe beginning of this year. As much as I enjoyed my adtech career, I feel so blessed now to have a chance to free up my mind from the corporative mindset and let myself to discover new information. And that is how I found bitcoin and other crypto currencies this June 2017.
Having information is powerful! Currently with the crypto market pumping up I keep gaining profits on my crypto assets passively in addition to my daily trading while traveling actively.
I found it fascinating and dangerously addicting to the point of randomly waking up at the very early morning to check out how my Coinbase account is doing. LOL
I attribute the very beginning of my interest in crypto to Jacob, one of my friends who said to me that he made 8x return on Etherium in June 2017. Ever since I was reading and learning and asking people if they are aware of it and I found another friend, Oliver, who makes money from real estate investments. This person is a self made millionaire, so, if he knew all the potential ways to make money from the realestate investing and he still puts a significant amount of his funds in crypto, I realized there is something absolutely amazing happening. I got a chance to talk with Oliver and he told me everything he knows and his investing strategy in bitcoin ever since 2013.
Another event this summer that triggered me to finally invest my hard — earned money into strange numbers was crypto blockchain meeting, organized by Gil Penchina in his penthouse in San Francisco. I was blown away from meeting these crypto passionate visionaries and entrepreneurs. Talking with these people was like pluging myself directly into an electric outlet.
I am blessed to have a critical mindset from the early chilhood, the mindset that is capable of observing the subject from multiple sides. Nevertheless I realized that I’ve never asked myself:
What is money?
Why I keep my money in the bank?
Why I have to report on brining money from a different country?
Why it takes 3 days to withdraw my funds from the banking account if I need it?
Why do I even need a bank all together?
These and many other questions we are trained not to ask ourselves from childhood. The idea of why do we rely on a 3rd party when it comes to managing our money doesn’t even occur to us.
Why it is illegal for the person to print fake money? At the same time why it is absolutely legal to print more money by the government and inflated the monetary system is absolutely ok?
The idea of a Bitcoin resonated with me personally on top of all the reasons I listed above because I know from first-hand experience what inflation is! Coming from a different country I know how the purchasing power of the currency that you are holding is fading away from January through the end of the year. It is easy to sense how the prices in the store keep increasing.
Having a technical background allowed me to figure out the technicality of digital currency and now I am happy to be a step ahead of other people that still do not get what the Bitcoin is. And I do my best to explain when friends and family attempt to understand.
Next weekend I’ll spend a Christmas holiday with friends and family and surely we get back again on the topic of Bitcoin as we did during Thanksgiving. I foresee it is going to be crazy to open a Coinbase app to check on the price next weekend.
