Good motivation and advice, and to add, maybe a little story of my journey with crypto will help elevate someone's spirit.

I started crypto in 2015 as a poor boy, I worked really hard, saved and saved and saved, and 2016, I managed to save about $18, bitcoin being already expensive to me by then, I decided to invest that money in an ICO which promised a good return on investment, this project later turned out to be a scam, that was how I lost my money I worked months to safe.
I was devastated, felt like giving up but some how, I found courage to keep going, I started fauceting for free bitcoin, while I kept working hard to save up some money again, after about two months, managed to save up to $10, joined with the little bitcoin I've earned from faucets, I decided to learn about crypto trading and started trading on poloniex which was the largest crypto exchange at the time, trading was not easy though but I was determined to succeed, kept trading and kept making little profits that's in cents most times, and in about three months, I think I had up to $50 on my trading account, I got tired of trading and decided to invest part of that money in another ICO, I made some profit this time, and I started buying and selling bitcoin(buy low, sell high) - this was actually another mistake I made, cus if i had held all the bitcoins I bought and sold back then till now, or maybe till 2017/2018 bull run, i would have made tens of millions in my local currency..

But all being the same, I am very happy for where I am today, I am happy i did not give up, though I did encounter a lot of challenges, lost money to several scams, but still, I kept my head up always.
