Re: What would you tell your younger self to learn this space efficiently?

2 things.
1. Always hungry for knowledge - Don't stop learning. Businessmen even though they are considered successful by different people aren't stopping from reading books because they need it for their businesses. As for as average person, there are lots of information that we can get online. Some are for free, and some are paid, but the point is don't let ourselves to be stagnant. As much as possible, let's learn a new thing every single day whether it's new information, or new skill, or whatever new. Unfortunately, there was a time where I didn't learn anything for quite some time because of burnout.

2. Focus on buying established coins. - I tried investing into meme coin once, I also tried investing into an ICO once during it's hype. It's my first time to say it here, but I also invested into some DeFi projects in the past. All of them ended up as a loss for me. I also invested into NFTs during it's hype, and although I made some money on it, I still ended up losing some money. The mistakes that I've made in the past made me realize that it will be better for me to just focus on investing, and holding onto those top coins, and that's what I'm doing currently.

I would actually tell myself to keep all the BTCs that I have earned since 2017 from campaign signatures!

Back in 2017, I was a college student desperate in needing money in order to purchase study materials. Living with a family of 5 with a single dad is truly challenging- the priorities are somehow focused more on my younger siblings. As the eldest of all my brothers, I have this duty where I should also provide them the needs that they have whenever they ask for something.

Though this may be the case, I would still tell my younger self to HODL and remind myself that days will be better in the future.

Almost the same case as mine.

I started joining signature campaign somewhere in 2018 (Bitcoin paid), and I use a portion of my monthly Bitcoin earnings here to pay some monthly bills here. It wasn't the same anymore currently since I already have a job, but I can't imagine how many Bitcoins I converted just to pay those expenses. At the end of the day, we need it to survive so... yeah I guess there's nothing more to be disappointed on that one. What's important now is we both holding some Bitcoins that we get from signature campaigns. Cheesy
