Concerning myself:I am 23 years old by age, an undergraduate with the zeel to explore more crypto knowledge and archive success in crypto investment.
When my curiosity woke up:I was still a novice in crypto back in 2019, with zero interest. I only saw crypto as a means of throwing away one's money all in the name of investment, but after attending a seminar in school with the theme "Giving Empowerment to the Rising Youth," I was inspired to learn more about Bitcoin. I thought I was privileged to have had a friend who was very knowledgeable about cryptocurrency, but his interest in teaching others was just a little too small. He all but concealed knowledge from me. To be frank, after the seminar in school, my curiosity to learn about Bitcoin woke up, but there was no one to teach me.
Erroneous cryptocurrency information:From the seminar, they thought I meant to earn free cryptocurrency through telegram bots and other airdrop platforms. I followed all the instructions that were given to me and put them to use, but did not earn any real reward. It made me feel bad because all my effort and the countless tasks I did were a waste of time and energy. I did many airdrops for almost 6 months but did not make any money from them. I gave up and started to learn more about Bitcoin.
I fully learned about Bitcoin:I learned that in 2009, one Bitcoin was worth $0, but in 2019, it was worth $7,500 or more. This got me wondering how. But then I asked myself a rhetorical question, "How can 1 bitcoin be worth thousands of dollars when it's something that's not physical?" LoL, making a joke of myself. However, I decided to go to Google and do some Bitcoin research. From my research on Google, I learned about:
1: the inventor of Bitcoin
2: Bitcoin's Mysteries and Decentralization
3: Bitcoin price influencers, Bitcoin halving, and Bitcoin whales.
4: Investing in Bitcoin
5: trustworthy Bitcoin purchasing platforms
6: the original Bitcoin investors
After taking a lot of time to study all the information I found about Bitcoin, I was convinced to invest.
How I fully believed in Bitcoin:I was able to invest just a little amount of cash into Bitcoin in December 2019, which I quickly sold in the month of August 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic that triggered a difficult time. Although I was very busy with school in 2021, I believed in Bitcoin when its price rose to $68k that year. I learned
here that Bitcoin's price is down due to:
High, unsupressable inflation is the primary reason the United States Federal Reserve is raising interest rates. And since rate hikes began in March 2022, Bitcoin and the broader crypto market have been in a correction.
but I think the 2024 halving will be better for Bitcoin.
Difficulty in learning about Bitcoin:I went through a lot of stress to gain the little knowledge I have about crypto/Bitcoin. I understand Bitcoin is a good store of value, and so its knowledge should not be hidden from people who are willing to learn about Bitcoin, like myself, and how my friend never wanted me to learn anything about Bitcoin. I joined this forum to add to my crypto knowledge and I hope to learn more and also teach my friends who want to learn.
Updated I learned from articles on the links below.
