It is not the first time that I heard about bitcoin that got my interest, but more like second time. The idea was that you could use it for online payments, and not something to invest, and I miss those days.
Back when I first heard about it, that was a method where I could get paid for my work, I used to do a bit of development, still do, I am in marketing so that means I do development, design and everything else a bit enough to know who I am hiring and how they work, you can't hire someone without knowing how good they are if you have no idea how to do it yourself. So, when I heard that I could work with everyone around the world and just get paid in crypto? That was awesome period, now it's all about investing and trading, very sad.
