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 ?
One of the main reasons why I hate banks that they are become more and more greedy year by year. For example, in past they were paying interest to customers who keep money in bank account. Now customers have to pay monthly maintenance fees just to be able to keep money in bank account. I don't think it's normal. And they are have too much control over our money. They can close account for whatever reasons they want, for example if you get money from Bitcoin exchange
Now I don't have any exact goals. I'm not looking into far future too much - offcourse, it would be nice to earn enough money for retirement, but becoming crypto millionsire or billionaire seems to be too much ambitious. I'm thinking about about buying a house with my earnings from crypto. But I need few years to earn enough money, because real estate is expensive. Offcourse, rise of cryptos like we saw last year would help me
