Four years ago. It was easier to send bitcoin to a friend in china and fees were much less compared to paypal and other options.

Makes sense, your friend must be quite happy now with that payment ey Roll Eyes

I remember that I wrote several times how I did get in crypto world. I don't want to repeat, but I can't find these old posts. This is only thing I found:
Basically, I was looking to ways how to make some extra cash online. And I found that I can earn money through Bitcoin. But it's not only thing. I was amazed by idea of Bitcoin - decentralized currency not controlled by banks and governments. I really wanted to get some independence from banks, because I hate banking system. I wanted to have full control of my money and get some privacy.

Yeah understandable, with such a big forum threads like these will be posted multiple times. Which in itself I dont see as a problem, like we are seeing new people such a myself register everyday. Its a thread we can talk about our experience without thinking:'' Oh shit is this going to be seen as a contribution or just random spam?''. Conversations like the people here are having, are what makes you part of the community and feel a bit more at home. However it might not look that usefull to older members because they have seen this topic a million times, its still nice for us newbies

.

Anyway onto your story! So why do you hate the banking system besides the privacy and no controll part ? Is it something that happened to you or just you read up on it and knew it was a crap system so you hated it? Its a funny thing to see that a lot of people got into bitcoin to make some extra cash, we are an ambitious bunch, we humans. Hope it made things happen for you. Further to that, do you have any other goals now ? Like aiming for your retirement fund or just become a gazillionaire ?

Good question. I got into Crypto by looking for a way to donate to charities around the world. It's still tough to do, but there are lists of crypto accepting charities online, and the infrastructure around it is growing every day.

Alright thats the first story I heared about getting into Crypto to donate to charities. Very cool! Do you have any specific reason ? And what kind of charities you donate too ? Its something I think is very cool and at a later stage in my ''Crypto Carreer'' when my website community is a bit bigger, I want to do something with charity. Like maybe every advertisement sale goes 25% to charity or every donation to the website goes 25% to charity. Or do a charity live stream. T

My best friend told me about this interesting investment. at first, i didn't believe in crypto and then i searched more about crypto and found that this is a profitable investment. You know what, my advice is that whenever you invest in anything, juts believe in your investment, don't let others affect to your opinion

100% spot on. Do your own research and stick by yourself. Good advice Louis. So you are still HODLing strong then ?

Like most of you, friends and news affected my decision. Almost a year ago, for the sake of news, I understand the importance of cryptocurrencies. One of my best friends also advised me to invest in crypto projects. He explained every detail.

All stories look the same but the feeling and thoughts behind it are yours and even if I see similar stories, I feel like they are different in a sense aswell. That was deep ey, sorry about that haha. You sir have a good friend. The fact that he went out and took the time to explain everything in detail is very nice of him. Definetly not all people are like that. So how are you holding up with this bear market ? Been a rough year for you and your investment I bet Undecided
