Well here's nothing..

Hello, my name is Ifenyi, I'm Nigerian ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ and I live in Atlanta ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ. Being 9ja and growing up in Philadelphia I'm what most would call a "true hustler".. in a good way ๐Ÿ˜‡. I've long been interested in any and all things mostly hidden from the masses and I'll do whatever necessary to turn nothing into something .. I heard about Bitcoin over 5 years ago when Silk Road was booming! I, of course, had no interest in converting my hard earned money into some "cryptic" currency mostly used for the illicit drug trade among other things ๐Ÿค”. So I swept the offer under the rug and forgot about Bitcoin until recently the word Bitcoin started popping up everywhere. So quite naturally I did a little research, on YouTube ๐Ÿ‘จ๐Ÿพโ€๐Ÿ’ป, and I really started taking an interest in decentralized currency systems. Unfortunately even then I didn't buy any Bitcoin as I'm a super skeptic.. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ ahem did you guys forget about the great Ponzi Scheme, or the housing market crash of 2008..? Basically trusting any organization or platform with your money is a toss up. When Bitcoin started hovering around $1000USD I realized that myself and one of my main partners Izzo Izzo had made a grave mistake 5 years prior by not buying into Bitcoin when it was $50USD/BTC - we would have probably made several hundred thousand dollars had we bought in back then ๐Ÿ˜ซ. This isn't where the story ends tho... My good friend and Steem power user Bee - @opinizeUnltd had been telling myself and others we really should look into investing some of our expendable income into Cryptocurrencys. So a few months ago I downloaded the Coinbase app and literally was flabbergasted when I noticed that a Bitcoin was around $2000USD ๐Ÿ˜ณ, still I was a little hesitant, could it drop back down to $50USD, is this even legal, will I lose my "fun money" chasing an already mature investment ๐Ÿ™ƒ!??? Well boy was I wrong, in the past 2 months BTC has surged almost to $5000USD/BTC ๐Ÿ˜ฎ and I'm sure some people have made a lot of money ๐Ÿ’ฐ. So as me and my boys were headed out on a Yacht in South Beach Miami for a Sunset Cruise (pic below) I opened up Coinbase and I purchased my first Bitcoin! ๐ŸŽ‰ IMG_2042.JPG (I'm here in red cap, Izzo Izzo on the left and music producer 808 Blake behind)

Well not only did I purchase some Bitcoin, I purchased some Ethereum as well, which my Ether play ended up giving me over 100% return as it skyrocketed to almost $400USD ๐Ÿ“ˆ while I purchased around $160USD. Needless to say I'm IN now..๐Ÿค‘ my guy @opinizeUnltd put me down with SteemIt a few weeks ago and here I am. Follow me and my journey into crypto investing ๐Ÿ“ฒ๐Ÿ’ต๐Ÿ’ด๐Ÿ’ถ๐Ÿ’ท. I'll mostly post cool stories (boy do I have them!!), photography ๐Ÿ“ธ (I've traveled all over the world and I shoot landscapes, sunsets, and nature), also lots of FITNESS ๐Ÿ‹๐Ÿพ (I own a fitness tech startup - Squrl Fitness ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ฆ "The Uber for Fitness Professionals")
