So it all started sometime between 2009 and 2011. There I was, 21 years old, 4-5 years into the work force, could care less about school, and from what I know now, I THOUGHT all I wanted to do was to make money.
As a young kid of course, who just became the legal age to finally drink, all I was really focused on was having a good time, and buying nice things. I was an avid sneaker collector and would religiously watch a You Tuber by the name of Carlos Sanchez aka @SneakGeekz.
I remember it like it was yesterday, he posted a video talking about bitcoin. Myself along with all the other hundreds of young dumb kids, thought the man was crazy! I've always been an open minded individual when it came to the business side of things, anything to make money, but this concept of digital currency was really a whole new world I wasn't willing to explore.
Fast forward to 2016-2017, I randomly came across a recent SneakGeekz video on my suggested watch list on YouTube, and whata ya know, there he is STILL raving about bitcoin. 29 years old and full of much more wisdom, a lot more bills, and definitely finding a way out of the rat race, I told myself that this time, I was going to listen.
After some research, the way bitcoin has exploded is literally mind blowing. I could have had a chance to buy bitcoins at $0.60 USD! I swear I almost threw myself off the roof of the building when I learned that bitcoin had reached an all time high of $6,000 USD. I decided to finally give it a chance. I invested roughly about $145 into bitcoin and purchased bitconnect coins and finally completed my first $100 loan.
As little of a contribution this is, I feel like I've accomplished much much more. I'm still learning and still have quite a journey to go with a lot of catching up to do. I couldn't have been happier to finally jump in the water.
