My first deal and my first money I earned in crypto.
Winter 2018, “Bitcoin” went into correction and the price has fallen by half from the maximum of 20,000 now it costs 10,000. At this time, my brother and my schoolmates are engaged in crypto exchange (this was the end of my previous story), and their conditions in the Kazakhstan market was one of the best. I gave them fictitious names, I did not want to reveal all the cards yet: my brother is Armen, school friends are Vitally and Mark. I am actively starting to use telegram, I found thematic channels, groups and chats. I was looking for clients in my city. I met a young man, let's call him Zhan (his name is also fictitious, but the numbers will all be true), he bought at good prices a couple years ago and has been mining very serious for one year. I offered the services of my friends to a new man, if you need to buy / sell - contact us, we will do it quickly and profitably. And he immediately replied: Let's sell 5 «Bitcoin» tomorrow afternoon. We discussed time and place. I called my brother and found out the price of the commission for such a transaction. We decided to give him an amount without commission, buy his 5 coins at a price of 1 for 1, although most buyers in the CIS at that time take a commission of 1% or more. Thus our client database of miners developed, we always tried to give more, interested them to work with us. Zhan satisfied with such conditions, then I have been already found out that before met me, he sold with a commission of 1-2%. Next day, it was a deal time. We were sitting in the office waiting for Zhan, and I saw that my friends were doubt about him, he will / will not come, has he these 5 «Bitcoins» or has not. Maybe it was “shot in a void”. This was my first deal where I took part. They were experienced guys. Last autumn they made several hundred deals. And then my client called. He was in the parking lot, I went downstairs to meet him and accompanied to our meeting room. We were sitting at the table, Mark took out a wad cash from his case. 50,000 on the table, Zhan started to count manually. We didn't have a cash counting machine at that time. He was sure that we had money. After that Zhan took his smartphone and sent us 5 «Bitcoins». We paid him extra. «Bitcoin's» price was about 10.250 at the time of the transaction. We were waiting for a transaction in the blockchain and confirmation. 15 minutes after we received the first confirmation. Vitalyi gets up, stretches out his hand to Zhan and said: I received, it's Ok. Good deal. We said goodbye to Zhan, he left us. I did not understand what happened. I remembered well my first words after Zhan's departure, Guys, are you kidding? You gave 5 packs of dollars and received nothing back. I worked in trade before. I was sure that if you give a cash, you have to take something back. For example goods, products etc. Vitalliy answered to me: Hey buddy look we have 5 «Bitcoins» and showed me his smartphone screen, where it was just a simple number. Armen convinced Mark and Vitalliy to take me with them to the next deal, so that I can see how it happens. He is my brother, that why he tried to involved me in this bussiness. He knew that I am a smart guy. and he wanted me to be experienced, more skillfull, more clever and continued to work in the same way with their team. The guys agreed and we went to the another buyer. I remembered that during the way in the car Marik did not close the blockchain wallet and watched the price of the «Bitcoin», he was worried that the price could be fall down. Now it seems ridiculous, we did not transfer to a Tether, we were holding «Bitcoin» in our e-wallet. Sometimes we lost, but when rate went up we earned nice bonus. We came to the buyer, the price of the «Bitcoin» has not changed much. We went into the office, we are met by an adult and respectable man who was glad to see us. "Hi, come in, have a seat". He offered tea or coffee. He has been waiting this meeting for 4 days. It was many customers, who want to make a deal at price 10 000 USD for Bitcoin and on big sums of money. They put him on the line. The buyer get a bundle of dollars from the safe, Marik immediately counted them, Vitalliy had been already sending the transaction, Armen spoke with the buyer at ease, and I was sitting and watching on them and was surprised what was happening. I began to understand that we were selling Bitcoin with a 4.5% of interest and our buyer is incredibly happy about this fact. Five coins went to the buyer's wallet, he is satisfied, hugged all of us, said goodbye and promised to buy more in the near future. We left. Vitalliy was driving, Marik and Armen calculate the profit, it came out to about $ 2,200. Armen offered me to take 400$. I knew that a crypto exchange is good money, but just to get the average monthly salary in Kazakhstan in 3-4 hours without doing anything .... I was shocked. With pleasure I took my money and left in my direction. On the way, I understood exactly what I would do now! To be continued
