My introduction to bitcoin has led me to discover a new definition of freedom and independence, which I didn't think existed financially. And of course; with greate power, comes great responsibility, so knowing that I can manage my finances myself (or a portion of it) has made me learn habits and hacks to safely do that.

Before Bitcoin and bitcointalk, I had only been exposed to regular social medias and messenger apps, but this forum has taught me lots of valuable lessons and I've met so may great users with lots of knowledge to share. The trolls also helps you grow a thicker skin along the way.

Congratulations on your job, it's by no means a pleb story and shows commitment eventually pays off.
