It got me out of a BAD situation and is now the reason that I have a roof over my head. I spent much of my childhood looking at how cool all this is. Looking at the data structures of blocks and transactions and what the signing process is like and all that. Mining some too. I contributed where I could. Met some awesome people. It's the coolest thing ever, and I used it. It's "fun" to look at old transactions and think, wow, I bought this game for $600, that was a $900 pizza, etc. 
Remember 2013 and 2017? I watched as my friends all either became millionaires or very, very depressed. I ended up somewhere in the middle. More than someone my age usually would have access to, but I wasn't about to retire right out of high school.
And eventually home life gets a little worse, then a lot worse. It's contentious living with my parents. It wasn't safe anymore. Bitcoin gave me the ability to just go. My sister and I were both legal adults. I had no job, no car, nothing like that, but I was able to get a nice place if I made a big security deposit and advance on rent. Found a job pretty quickly. We were saved.
I still have a little bit left. Enough that I could call on it again in a time of need. But it's fun to watch the charts after all this time. I will always be a member of the bitcoin community.
