Hello everyone! I just want to share WHAT BITCOIN HAS HELPED ME AS A STUDENT AND AS A PERSON -
Being a student in a low-income family, I’ve been through a lot of circumstances and its mainly involved money, having a single parent who is old enough to work and support us, I have no choice but to rely on my siblings but still their income can’t help me in dealing with my school costs.
At the age of 15 while studying, I started searching on how to earn money, being a young introvert – not flexible enough to do physical labor or work, I only have one choice but to start searching for an online job.
From sharing articles on my Facebook pages, doing surverys, earning lower than what I work for, I started to look for an alternative and found out about Bitcoin in 2016 at the age of 17
At first I thought It’s just a digital money that can be converted to a fiat, but after joining some projects, hyips, bounties and experienced getting scammed I eventually learn so many things from my mistake that pushed me to learn more and have a deep understanding about cryptocurrency.
I finally found the greener pasture here in Bitcointalk (2017), I found out that we can earn here through trading, investing ,doing task, selling service and joining some contests as well.
Doing graphic design is one of my interest and with a little skill I try joining on some contest here to practice and to try my luck as well -- not winning but finding out how people earn from their skills - started to motivates me to learn more.
After 2 years and up to this day, learning, joining contests, signature campaigns and selling my service.
I have been supporting myself financially for school costs and my needs as a CS Student. I also helped my family for some matter.
I'm like a know-it-all back then but
being here for 2 years motivates me to “never stop learning” because surely when time comes, all the knowledge can lift us up from the pit of problems and bring us to our dreams.
Being the youngest in the family, I always rely on the elders, but being involved in crypto and learn about finance, it gives me the lesson to
“Stop relying on others because it can only make us much weaker, do something that can surely benefit ourselves and be financially independent". -
As of now I’m focusing on studying – planning for our thesis, taking Tesda NC IV (hopefully take NC III next year which is all about Digital Designing) and self-studying about programming.
Hopefully use my skills to get a stable job in the future and still be in the cryptohub to contribute something from what I've learned and of course to earn
Sorry for any errors and if I share tooooo much, I hope this post can give positivity to you all
Long Live.
