I am with DigiByte from the beginning, and I am the one who made the Turkish translation and got 250k DGB, which was worth nearly 0.8 BTC at the time and BTC was worth $600 if not any higher.
At the time I thought it could be a coin like any other that comes and goes... But by knowing Jared each day, I understood that this coin is different. With some good marketing analysis, I sold the coins I own and bought, including that 250k but a very later time, where DGB dropped from 50s to 20s right away after the fork. It was a great decision I made and since then I started buying DGB and converted all my BTC into DGB
Nearly all of it.... And when I turn back and see I have accumulated a lot of DGB, and to be honest even though the price was so cheap, when you hold that much amount of coin, you start to be extra cautious and start being afraid and investigate everything you can about Jared and DGB...
In the end, I have seen that Jared is a full-time working founder for DigiByte and in the last 2 months, as many of you may know, we have seen countless developments and new features for DGB. I have been with crypto for a few years and known a lot of founders and coins that come and go, but I have never seen such founder that works his ass off for his own coin.
Now, Jared is achieving his goal, introducing DGB and creating awareness of it to everybody in digital currency arena. I remember the time he was just giving away a lot of DGBs, and today I understand why he did that. Of course, we have to be cautious about those coins having a lot of premined with no developments, just empty promises... But here there is no premined left and Jared PROVED he is one of the top coin founders in the history of digital currencies. The key to success, as I observed from DGB, is being honest and great communication skills, which JARED owns all of them in his character.
Today, I hold many DGBs, and I just sold a few of it, because greed is unnecessary, when DGB is 1k and further up, those people bought my coins will be happy. I would like to thank Jared and his team, also the DGB community who supports and buys DGB. I own a lot to Jared and his team and I will continue supporting them. When I completed my PhD in Software and Telecommunications Engineering, which is near the end, I will contribute to DGB development as much as I can as I have planned in my mind, and as a member of DGB.
