If there's one thing I would love to have a magic stick for, so I can make it disappear, then that's definitely money... I believe that most of the shit that's going on in the world right now is because of money.
I don't have the magic stick though, thus I am still in the position of needing to earn it and use it around for whatever my life depends on. Never been a rich guy, and probably never will...
I started making money, though, at quite an early age. I had to, cuz my folks were not able to buy me all the shit I wanted, or sometimes needed, thus I had to make something to earn myself a bit of "financial freedom".
The first money that I ever made was from selling fish. I know it might sound weird, but that's the truth. I was probably 14 years old when I started to seriously get into carp fishing and after a while, I became quite good at it.
I was managing to score quite some good catches and I sold my first 8 kg carp for around $20 just about twenty years ago or so. It was quite the money for that age... I then had the funds, thanks to getting the taste of selling my caught fish, to further "reinvest" in fishing gear and also save a bit for spending on all sorts of stuff teenagers buy.
It's funny, but that way of making my first money ever hasn't actually taught me to become an investor and to put the dough at work in order to make more of it. It actually made me a "good working man". It taught me to never give up and change spots and bait until seeing the results I was after.
How does that relate to crypto? Well, quite recently(about two months ago) I got rekt with LUNA, but that didn't stop me from "trying my luck with crypto", and it hasn't made me in any way think of quitting crypto, if I can put it this way. This gray episode from my experience as a crypto investor felt like when I was young and would lose the line or a good catch on some of the days...
I would always simply set it all back from scratch and continue the hustle. Quitting was not an option. Same thing goes for my Hive experience. In terms of earning rewards as a content creator, you have to be prepared to cast a lot, sometimes in unknown waters, "change the bait" when necessary and be consistent about it.
Fishing got me my first money and although I'm not much into fishing lately, this sport will always have a place in my heart. It also helped a lot with my personal funds during my teenage times. What about you, what's your story?
Thanks for attention,
Adrian

You did invest and put the dough at work! And the revenue was better fishing...
Didn't make me an investor though. I didn't had such a mentality until I got into crypto...
