Introduceyourself
Hi everyone,
This introduction is probably over due.
After a few years of using Steemit, I'm still not sure how it works, I figured I should start back from the basics and complete the intro.
I came across Steemit from being in the crypto game, or should I say ride.
Here's how that started
I heard about BTC but before I could figure out how to buy, Mt Gox imploded.
Thought that's the end of Bitcoin.
But the more I realized it wasn't a flaw in the blockchain, I noticed the price slowly crawling back.
I started using coinable to watch and track BTC.
I remember thinking how late I was to the game and now that BTC is $500-$600, I would need tens of thousands to invest to actually gain significant wealth from it.
Then one day, there was ETH added to the Coinbase main page. It was around $10.
I literally said out loud, "now we're talking".
So I found an amazing TED talk on Ethereum and I was sold.
I began buying $50-$100 worth a week, between Aug-Dec 2015.
By the end of 2015, had about $1500, $15 per ETH
By March 2016, $50ETH price brought me to $5,000, I then invested another $2,000.
May when ETH was at $380, I saw my account grow to $53,000.
The Oct-Dec run of this past year grew my holdings to $124,000 and my account peaked at $256,000 ($100k of that was Tron) on Jan 7th.
As shocked as I was, I always felt confident about cryptos.
I made a mission to spread the word to friends and family.
If I could do it for so little, some of my friends could be millionaires with their risk/reward thresshold.
As their interest grew, they all began coming to me for guidance.
I found myself texting 4 different people, many screen shots and photos.
I decided to make a Telegram Channel to make it easier to manage, one message, everyone gets it.
Feel free to join for what I notice of importance so you can parlay your wealth.
Currently have 14 friends on it, and 2 people from other channels have jumped on.
Realizing I have a long way to go I decided to become more active with sharing the things I find of value.
After all, thats what got me the $256K...well, at this moment $96K but thats just from the usual dip.
