Topic: What stopped you from starting crypto earlier??? - page 3. (Read 476 times)

The word 'stop' in my opinion there is no such term, as long as we want to do it we can certainly do it, especially in today's crypto era, there are hundreds of types of crypto that we can trade and also invest, don't have to have a lot of capital, small capital can enter the crypto world, many successful people in the crypto world with minimal capital, while they have the knowledge to do.

Yes, I see you are in the Bounty campaign section and also with your Alt named: @Odijiehumphrey, my advice, if you want to last long here, obey the Bounty rules, read all the rules they apply, you will get more crypto/tokens there.

And one more thing, if possible in this forum there are many types of paid Bitcoin Paid campaigns, try not to get involved in Bounty first, focus on your ranking, if you have reached the conditions required by the Bitcoin campaign, you can easily get Bitcoin/crypto here, without thinking about scam tokens etc.

At about the time i first heard about crypto, it was during a season when there were a lot of ponzi schemes ongoing in my locale. There was "MMM", "Crowd rising" and "Zarfund", all names of leading ponzi schemes that many including myself were victims of. "Zarfund" particularly was crypto based (bitcoin), where a certain amount could get us some little bitcoins, then via crowd funding accumulate this bitcoins.
After they all went offline with out bitcoins and fiat, I wallowed deep in Skepticism about anything crypto or making money online. It took a while, a miracle and some testimony of some friends who were early birds for me bounce back and push skepticism away. So skepticism was my reason.

I'm pretty sure that was the common reason why people scoffed at bitcoin initially. Telling me that we have a new digital currency that an anonymous person created just reeks of scam in the surface level. I mean, most people think that we don't even need a new currency; so why create a new one? I sure had the same exact opinion back then, until I've learned about the flaws of fiat.

WHAT STOPPED YOU FROM STARTING CRYPTO EARLIER???

Pretty much everyone knows about crypto at this point, even if they don't understand it.

I heard about crypto not quite ago and, I didn't take action due to some factors that are most likely the reason others didn't

WRONG INFORMATION:
The first time I heard of crypto I didn't know what it was about so I asked some person's around me and the way they explained it to me made it sound like it was a Ponzi scheme and even my parents were against the idea of Cryptocurrency they believed it to be an online waste of time project and I believed them and I regret taking their words😞😞😞

MONEY:
even after discovering that Cryptocurrency isn't a Ponzi scheme I still faced even a greater challenge which is MONEY. I got acquainted with cryptocurrency but wasn't able to participate in it because I had no money. I decided to start doing airdrops on TELEGRAM and after sometimes I eventually got some SHIT-COINS which didn't worth anything so I couldn't exchange them. it wasn't until recently that a friend of mine whom I'm indebted to introduced me to BITCOINTALK. And since then I have participated in several bounties and there've been some great results from the bounties and very recently I made my first exchange, though it wasn't that much it still made me very happy.

I know I might not be in a position to give anyone advice on this platform because I'm still a NEWBIE, but I do know that we live in a world where fake news strive online because very few tend to verify what's true and what's not. And also feel free to share with us your own experience that also made you delay if you have any.
