I originally came across crypto, specifically Bitcoin, in about 2015. At the time, it seemed like an interesting concept but was not so well known. I downloaded some Bitcoin mining tools and got started. I remember reading at the time about some other cryptocurrency projects too like Ethereum. I had limited resources at the time so couldn't go on a mass spending spree and I was rather limited to just mining Bitcoin.
The mining became harder and I was getting fewer rewards so I gave up on it for a while. Just over a year later though, I checked back and found my Bitcoin was now worth much more. It got me interested again and I bought some real mining machines. However, again, it started becoming very competitive to mine. I decided it was easier to just invest in coins.
Of course, I took a hit when the Bitcoin price crashed after getting to $20k. I have learnt a lot since then though and now have a portfolio of about 50 coins I have invested in. I do trade but I am more of a hodler.
I believe we need real use cases for cryptocurrency so that we can get real utility. That then lead me to Steem and now more recently Hive.
Dear @awah,
Very interesting story and we can say that you are an early-adopted. Earlier than most in the comment section at least :).
What are your main holdings beside BTC, HIVE and Steem at the moment?
Sincerely,
@vlemon
