I came to know cryptocurrencies abou the year 2015. I was browsing through a nigerian blog www.nairaland.com and I saw a thread titled earn bitcoin though a faucet. So i chatted the creator of the thread an we hooked up on whatsapp where he just gave me the basics of creating a coinbase wallet and earning bitcoin through a faucet where you roll every hour to earn little satoshi.
I was persistant on the site for 3months where i earned about $4 which i was very happy. I started making more research on cryptocurrencies, how was it created, why was it created and its usage. One of the mistakes i made that time was not buying Ethereum when it was $13
