Read the Bitcoin whitepaper in 2013 and my mind was blown. The idea of trustless, permissionless money was revolutionary. Been down the rabbit hole ever since.

Honestly? A friend showed me his 10x gains on Dogecoin and I wanted in. Started as a degen, stayed for the technology lol.

NFTs brought me in during 2021. Lost money on JPEGs but learned about DeFi and smart contracts in the process. Now I'm a full-time crypto degen and I love it.

Got into Bitcoin in 2017 right before the crash. Lost 80% of my portfolio. But I held through 2018-2020 and came out way ahead. Pain is the best teacher.

Privacy concerns about the banking system. I don't want anyone knowing what I spend my money on. Bitcoin fixes this.
