A little background of myself before the story: I am originally from Peru, I love ceviche, my grammar is not perfect so hopefully I get the main ideas out.
It was not a long time ago, that I was broke and almost dropping out of high school. The only thing that I had going on for myself was a good supportive girlfriend (she is now my fiancé). I started my senior year with a GPA of 0.45, I had teachers telling me that I was a failure and probably never going to be anything in life. I do not want to make this an excuse, but I worked a lot and I also needed to help my family members. You can see that school was no a priority at the time. I prove everyone wrong when I ended high school with a 2.5 GPA. I was able to receive a scholarship to a private school, but because of life....shit happens..... I couldn't stay in school full time. I dropped out of college. I decided to do online school instead (it is cheaper) and at the same time try to find an internship (to get out of the minimum wage jobs) . Luckily enough I was able to find an internship with prestigious investment firm in Boston that took a chance. Six months pass but I was not offer a full time position, but I gain a good name to put in my resume and connections that helped me get another job as a contractor. Another 7 months pass and still I was not offer a full time position with the new company but I finally got my associate degree. Back at it again I started looking for another contractor position and I found one which I am currently working on it has being 7 months so hopefully they offer me a full time position.
where does crypto come into play in my life?
In high School when I was told I was going to be nothing I was learning about crypto and I decided that one day when I get a decent job I will invest in it.
Didn't you make good amount of money from your internship?
With my internship and my first contractor position money I took my whole family a total of 5 people to a two week vacation. Is good to make money but is better to make memories.
When did you invested in crypto?
I started with 100 dollars made that into 1000, made that into 10,000 and hopefully one day I will make it into 100,000
I invested in Bitcoin, Etherum, and litecoin when I started out and pull out of ETH at 400 before the big crash.
Why not ICO?
I believe in putting my money in a coin with a strong team and a goal that I believe in.
Please feel free to ask me anything I also have small investment in different altcoins
