The story is almost always the same for a lot of people. I got into cryptocurrency back in August of 2016. I bought my first bitcoin (exactly 0.02 btc), but i lost it all to the Zarfund pyramid scam, and various Telegram HYIPs. Since then, i backed out and completely forgot about it till i discovered it had hit an ATH of $5k back in 2017. So, i bought back in with a smaller amount of money during the Chinese FUD and rode it all the way to the $20k ATH early last year.

Good morning @pangoli
Thank you for your amazing comment. I appreciate your time and effort.
Would you mind sharing with me what brought you to bitcoin in the first place and what was your focus on? Did you care more about technical developments or treated crypto as investment?
Yours
Piotr
How i got interested in bitcoin... I got introduced to Bitcoin by a pyramid scheme that required bitcoins as the currency for transaction. So i had to buy some. I guess i was also interested in the part where they mentioned it was digital money that could be sent anywhere in the world within a few minutes, but I didn't think too much about the investment opportunities, else i probably would have bought more and held onto it. Which would explain why i left the space just after i'd extinguished my first portfolio. I became interested in the technical development and the overall significance of cryptocurrencies during my early days on Steem. I discovered that Distributed Ledger technology represented way more than just speed of transactions across borders.
Thanks for sharing your story @pangoli :)
