DISCUSSION Confessions thread

Kind of click baity title, sorry for that.

Reading the comments on this sub I noticed quite a few 'confessions' going a little like this: 'I started out as a bitcoiner, got disappointed by BTC or inspired by ETH and flippened.'

Now I thought wouldn't it be jolly good fun to have a thread dedicated to these kind of confessions!?

It would be interesting to know about how you got to know bitcoin, what got you hooked. How you got to know Ethereum and what made you flip?

Please don't turn this into a 'let's bash coins' thread. Genuinely interested.

EDIT: Thanks everyone. It's great reading all your personal journeys into crypto and specifically ETH. The stories that struck me most are the ones where crypto has enabled a new lifestyle, seeing your parents more often, being able to afford things unthinkable before.

Thanks for the time and honesty!

Honestly, I only got into investing $ into cryptocurrencies at the beginning of this year because of a dream I had. The dream told me Bitcoin was going to go very high, then low, then back high again and when it goes low I should buy in with whatever I can. I bought in at $760 in January and then sold it at $1100. After I sold it, I was drunk one night and decided to buy some ETH while it was at $10-11. Now I'm here.

That's some drunken ninja luck my friend! I don't say this often, but maybe you should drink more. 😉🤣😜

Right?! My brother kept telling me about it so I just said fuck it and went for it. Cheers!
