Dear Steemers,
I like to share a story. I live for 11 months with -1000 (between -800) on my bankaccount, i was in such an eagerness to get rid of everything that i tried to get as much as money from my creditcard although i was bankrupt besides my crypto by then, i was lucky i blew it up with 300 euros.
The bank called me 2 months after 'Dear Mr. K.....n do you know you went through the barrier of -1000' I said 'seriously i have no clue i was on holiday and i took just money from the ATM and it was working'. Ofcourse i knew i was over my limit and i loved these months, i was travelling around Europe with a bucket full of cash and an exploded bank account and my crypto investments on the side.
The bank even gave me 5 years registration by a central authority for finance in the country where i am registred, cause i had 300 too much of them for 2 months. Before the phonecall of the bank I didn't want to touch my crypto and now i am happy i didn't, but then the moment came i need to liquidate my first crypto's. It felt as a pity and it felt good at the same time, my rendement showed me the crypto works!
Till the point i was over my bank limit my phone company couldn't get the montly payments from my bank account and they ever start to charge extra fees. I thought how far can i go, but i didn't want to touch my coins i believe too much in them.
You have to know that i didn't had a house, i didnt'have montly expenses, just my phone company, i was travelling searching a bit around what i want to do with my life, i lived cheap and still do with some crypto rendement investment decisions in real life on the side. But this eagerness of getting rid of everything brought me a deepest believe in the crypto world. Cause once friends showed me about bitcoin and ethereum i was convinced. Somewhere in the future this is going to be a part of society, i am sure. No doubt about it, so easy go, first investment was my monthly salary as a cost engineer for an american petrochemical engineer, its a place where i felt at that period in my life ashamed of but now i see it made me have a look in the kitchen of the biggest cartel around the planet, the petrochemical industry. I was young i just wanted to be a cost engineer but i didn't realize that this meant that i end up in the petrochemical industry where i saw things that were at least suspicious. I was too young to worry about the company i was working for, no the only thing i wanted is to 'have a job'. I built my whole life till 27 based upon the pillars society provide for you, but around my 27 i saw enough in a sense.
It made me say goodbye to the old world where i was earning black dollars, i am happy i washed them white again with crypto, cause i believe innovation is imporant, no matter what the outcome will be. The only thing i never saw in the black oil was innovation, therefore i started to doubt, is this really where you are striving for......????
My life twisted all over in many ways in the last year one of them is similar like STEEMERS around i can imagine after what happened with different kind of investment decisions we made in the past. Life becomes a kind of surreal, a kind of alchemical dream where nothing is impossible. I always kept believing in a dream i have, i went to the bottom, i even came to a point that i was running out of money but at some points in life things happen where you have no imagination before of how life can transform by bringing things together. I have this story i tried to share it many times and i even got put in prison and hospitalized, the government put me a week in prison cause they never asked what happened to me when i got kicked in a fuel station by the owner after i asked for a glass of water cause i didn't have my wallet with me.
When the guy start kicking i ran out of the fuel station and took off all my clothes, what can he do against a naked guy i thought? Nothing, he jumped in back inside! It was a pity the police arrived around the corner, yes than it is difficult to explain what happened before.......
This was not the only thing, i found a methaphor for Sirius A & B the brightest starts in the sky the day before. I leave open what this means because it is merely philosphocial and distracts my first message on STEEM. I leave a STEEM for the future!
The combination of factors resulted for me in a week of prison in a mental healthcare institution cause they thought i was psychotic. They forced me against my will in a white cell and injected me with chemicals to shut me down.
From that point in time i saw a fundamental flaw in our societal structures. This happened 2 years before i ever heard about crypto. Since they kept me in prison and smashed me down to the botttom although i was innocent and naked and believe me i am not a tall guy at all. This judgement of governmental intitutions activated a strong believe against the values upon how they act in society for public safety and security. Without any question they put you in jail and they don't even ask about your story, no you are naked on the streets, so you are wrong. It even costs me a court where i was not asking for and don't forget howto explain this to friends and family because they are all informed by the institution who label you 'different than others'. Besides that they even start to charge you for the treatments they do after, because they are really good in telling you have somthing wrong inside you.
Why i share this, i believe in innovation, i believe in STEEMIT and crypto movement around the globe is something where we start to stand for ourselves and have the trust to choose for something new. I see myself back in the prisoncell i was full of anger and joy at the same time, i felt something coming and now i see the crypto market and the movement of standing for ourselves and lets see where it brings us is something what i am inspired by. So i would all say to all STEEMERS and CRYPTO believers keep up the spirit and don't let yourself be disturbed by G20 canabalists!
Happy Investing, Happy Flowing, and Keep STEEMING!
With Love
