Hey Guys, this is my Personal Story.
It was June, two years ago. I was addicted to Nicotine since one year. Now you may ask yourself, why an addicted Teenager writes this article, and tells me that he is addicted - I don’t care. Well I somehow needed to get my Nicotine Content, and where I live now they don’t have the Cig I always smoke - so far, so good.
So I decided to order some - how? The only chance I saw in the End to satisfy my addiction, is to order some online. But how everyone knows, I can’t just push money in the Laptop, and without a Credit card things become hard. So I searched a while, and found out that I can pay my Cigarettes with a Debit card, loaded on with Cryptocurrency’s. I read everything about where to buy Bitcoin.
Well I will get one, soon haha, and i am trying to share this story.
So the next day I met up with a guy, I found on localbitcoin and gave him Cash, in order to get Bitcoin. As we waited for the transaction to finish, I had a small conversation, with a Chinese guy, in his thirties, I never spoke before to. He told me that he had invested in Bitcoin in the year September 2013. He told me he ran in the middle of the night to a guy, to purchase Bitcoin, worth 5000Dollers. I heard that Bitcoin was rising, but I didn’t really know why, and had the confident to invest. As I talked with him I thought that he would just want me to invest, but suddenly I realized that it could be a great opportunity. So As I asked him if he thinks, that Bitcoin will rise in its value, and he said: "definitely, yes, without doubts“. I seriously thought about investing. On the way home I said to myself: Why didn’t I invest earlier, how much money can I get to invest? All the idea of making money suddenly rushed my head.
So yeah what does a 16 y.o. do now? Run to his dad and says: "I want to invest all my money, that I saved my whole life, into Bitcoin?" - Yep. That’s what I did. At first my Dad thought, (as I think all parents do, that don’t know anything about Bitcoin) if I had lost my mind. But then he thought, it could really be an opportunity, and if I would not allow my son to buy it, he would in the end say thank you for protecting me, but not letting me make a million. So one week later, after the discussion with the Chinese guy, I bought a few Bitcoins. And guess what, a few weeks later my dad also wanted to invest, so he spoke with my Uncle, and he had heard about Bitcoin in his work, and he kind of believed in it, after I told him what is so unique about this "stock". So 15Minutes later, they started with their first investment, and were holding the Bitcoin. Now I am waiting for Bitcoin to reach a few hundred thousands per Bitcoin. That could fulfill my dream; I’ve been telling all my family and friends since years, to not work a nine to five job, to become a millionaire with 20. First they laughed at me and said: Where is your Idea? I didn’t have the Idea a long time. But I have and knew, deep inside me, was that I will be successful, and don’t need to work a nine to five job, well with the investment in cryptocurrency my dream will become true. My Uncle even said: “well I believe what you say, and maybe that could really be the idea from your side, to not work and become a millionaire that fast. Well Bitcoin will reach its Market cap, we all know it.
Being Nicotine addicted as a teenager may be disappointed and sad, and one of the worst things in life, and I am not saying that it was good that I was nicotine addicted, but definitely without me being addicted I would have never spoken with this Chinese guy, never would have invested in Bitcoin. But maybe sometimes you have to fall, before you can rise. I stopped smoking by now, and I don’t know if I should regret it, that I had smoked, but what I definitely not regret is always believing in myself that I can make it one day. Sometimes life is like a puzzle, it all fits together in the end.
