My journey into the world of cryptocurrency began back in 2017, a time when the industry was still considered somewhat niche, but the allure of decentralization and the promise of financial sovereignty had already begun to draw in people like me. Since then, I've become deeply invested—not just financially but ideologically—in the movement that blockchain and digital assets represent. Over the years, my portfolio and perspectives have evolved, and I now find myself balancing serious investments with the degenerate side of the space. Along the way, I’ve cultivated an appreciation for the strange and fun parts of crypto culture, all while staying grounded in my core beliefs of decentralization, self-custody, and the pursuit of utility in the projects I support.
Bitcoin was my gateway drug into the world of cryptocurrency. I first heard about Bitcoin back in 2017 when the market was exploding, and everyone was talking about it. At the time, it was hard to ignore the buzz around the price of Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs and the speculation about where it would go next. But as I delved deeper into Bitcoin, I realized it was far more than just a speculative asset—it was a movement, a revolution in the making.
For me, Bitcoin has always been about much more than price charts and market trends. The idea of decentralization, of taking control of one’s own wealth without reliance on traditional financial institutions, resonated with me on a deep level. I knew that Bitcoin represented a paradigm shift in how we think about money, value, and power. As someone who has always believed in the importance of self-sovereignty and personal responsibility, Bitcoin felt like a natural fit.
Since 2017, I've been steadily accumulating Bitcoin. I've seen the market go through its ups and downs, from the euphoric highs of 2017’s bull run to the painful lows of 2018’s bear market and beyond.
Today, I still watch the NFT space from the sidelines. I miss the NFT meta and hoping it returns here shortly!
