I used this topic since I wanted to share my experience before I engaged in bitcoin. In 2013 I lost all of my savings when I joined AMAN Features. AMAN Features is a pyramiding scheme in guise of a trading investment that took billions of pesos around the Philippines. Because of that I was full of debt, after year I got married and at the same time my wife gave birth to my son. My debt has increased again and because of the interest from the debts I can only take home 10$ every 15 days to feed my family. Of course that was not enough and so I again applied for some loan from a different individual so I can provide the needs of my family especially my 1 year old child. In 2015 I was lucky to be hired as a regular employee but because of my debts my salary just went to the loan sharks. At the same year I look for online jobs but I failed but what I encountered was the bitcoin faucets online. I started collecting faucets and I am earning half a dollar per month. My mother, brother including my wife were laughing and they told me that my eyes will just get painful and I will not earn something, it is not worth it they said. Finally in 2016 I did some affiliate marketing and one of the owner of that company noticed my talent and hired me to be a part of their company with my salary in the form of bitcoin. With my salary I started doing trading while doing signature campaign and guess what by the fourth quarter of 2016 I actually paid all of my debt. Right now my journey from being drowned in debt was exchanged to a financially stabled life, my family is now eating good food, I can send my wife to college including my child, I now have a simple house worth 14k$, I bought some appliances clothings.
Without bitcoin my life was a mess, I was full of stress. But bitcoin changed my life and here I am now a financially stable individual. Though I am not a millionaire but I am no longer in poverty.
Whats your bitcoin life changing story?
This is a very inspiring story. It's true that Bitcoin opened up new job opportunities for people. I also benefited from it a while ago. I was young when I got married. We were both university students, so we had small monthly scholarships (a total of around $70) and no jobs. We started translating stuff, which gave us another $30 per month (we could not work much, because we were concentrating on studying) and then came Bitcointalk that allowed us to have another $30 per month or something at the beginning. Then after a while, there was a time when the signature campaign was our main source of income even, allowing us to rent a flat and buy some food. These times have passed, we are currently rather stable financially, and even though a signature campaign is still offering significant financial support, I am now doing more because I like it than because I need money.
