Hey Hive account@crypto.piotr, it has been a while since I have been on Steemit... I hope that you have enjoyed your Christmas and New Years celebrations :)

This is quite an interesting article that you have posted... I did not know of these significant dates until you mentioned them, but I have assumed as much with regards to how long the crypto industry has been going on for since the rise of Bitcoin and all other Altcoins. It was a good read that was informative and interesting.

I did not have the same impression, but it was for many different reasons. At the time, I was truly worried about becoming independent and not asking my parents or older sisters for anything (money, gifts, etc...), so I stumbled upon a website that was promoting Ethereum. At that time I had no clue what cryptocurrencies were and I had to do some research because the site had peaked my interest in trying to invest in Ethereum.

This was at the end of 2017, and I had just finished a year in University and after joining some bad company I really wanted to make something of myself. So with the little money that I began saving up each month I had decided that I would invest in Ethereum. This turned out to be a good idea and I had made small profits that was used as spending money.(Which was great since I didn't have to put pressure on my parents for Uni expenses...)

I also began investing in EOS in February/March of 2018... Which didn't turn out so well since then because the price plummeted to $5/EOS just after the final release...

I had invested in Bitcoin a few times and made small profits, but I always pulled out since I was happy with the small amounts that I made... I am happy with these decisions because just looks at the markets now :)

I think Steemit was the best thing for me to come across... Since after looking into EOS and finding out the creator was also part of Steemit's development. This has opened a lot of opportunities for me since then and I am glad I took the leap of faith :D

So, back to the 10th anniversary... I am glad that Crypto's came into play and I am hoping for a prosperous 2019 for everyone :)

During my next few years of studying, I want to build a computer solely for mining... I have a few contacts that is making a fortune from this, hopefully he can help out :)

I hope to see many more posts from you Hive account@crypto.piotr, they are always interesting :D
