* which country / continent are you from?
Europe. You can predict my country by looking at my nickname Cheesy
* how and when did you hear the first time about cryptocurrencies?
I'm not sure when exactly I heard about Bitcoin for the first time, maybe in 2014. I joined Bitcoin world in 2015. I was looking for methods to earn some money online. I used PTC websites, but it was basically waste of time. Then I saw many advertisements of Freebitco.in. Then I thought that Bitcoin is something like rocket science and it's not beginner friendly thing. But I tried to register on Freebitco.in, created wallets on Coinbase and Blockchain.info. This is how my journey started.
* what are your hopes to get into this market?
Good question. I like idea to be independent from banks, stay anonymous. And it's nice to earn some extra money by doing various crypto related activities.
* which cryptocurrencies are your favourites?
Bitcoin, obviously! Don't know exact reason why, but I'm old fan of Dogecoin. I also like NEM - in my opinion it's solid coin with strong team,  nice community and serious plans.
* do you have any cryptocurrencies you don’t like?
Ripple, but I don't call it as cryptocurrency. USDT. And lot of shitcoins and shittokens.
* why Bitcointalk? There are some other forums
When I was newbie, Bitcointalk was first forum which I discovered. I have accounts on some other forums, but I don't use it much. Bitcointalk is biggest and most popular forum, I find everything what I need here. Other forums just don't have many active users.
And there is another reason. I had to promote my own faucet list - Bitcointalk is a great place to get many vistors to my website Cheesy.
OP, it would be nice if you share your story by answering these questions.
