Everyone has to start somewhere when they have dreams. Even if it’s random, all that’s needed is a simple trigger.
My own venture into this space started with the word of a friend, and with his help, I installed a CEX on my phone. And that’s how I started with crypto.
In February 2021, I bought one asset which, by May 2021, was well valued. I didn’t care much about crypto back then, but this was the beginning. Sold it for… 4 car tires. The CEX allowed me to cash out easily.
It was May 2021 when I started hearing about Shib. “How do I buy Shib?” I didn’t know. But in May 2021, I found it on the CEX I was using.
Got curious and Googled all I could about Shib. Found the mediums and the Woof Paper. And with all the assets that had come and gone from my hands, it was the only thing I kept holding. Talk about love at first sight!
A dream was built as soon as October 2021 came around. To the mooooon! Everyone who’s learning is a moonboy/girl once in a while. Too bad I had some Shib locked in an earn program by the CEX, so I was unable to sell. First lesson learned!
The following year 2022 was an extensive learning curve. Seeing people losing their crypto because of CEXs collapsing and the bear market roaring around scared me and caused me to make the jump to DeFi. Now I say I wish I had gone the DeFi route earlier!
By that time, I already knew the value of Bone and Leash, and that was when this jump allowed me to add those assets to my MetaMask using ShibaSWap. For a time, I was following the socials, but I was quiet while learning all I could.
Fast forward to 2023. With what I had seen during the last two years, I decided to be more vocal. It was time to start helping people with what I’ve learned. Having a new Discord and Telegram was the perfect opportunity to help out any newbie like I once was back then. Community first! We, not me.
Oh, little did I know that an opportunity that would arise. I made great friends along the way, and now I’m able to help people by providing support on Shibarium Tech Discord. It’s an opportunity that I never expected.
The crypto dream is still being built, but the dream to reach people and help them out is now a reality.
The biggest gratitude to all of you!
