I began trading some cryptos, participating in token sales, airdrops, bounty programs, etc. I did find success during that time of the hype Bitcoin bull run last 2017 where I paid my debts, bought a laptop and can afford giving gifts to my family. And the results keep coming until they noticed something that I could afford some stuff that I can’t before. They asked what I am doing, and I just said that I’m trading cryptocurrencies.
Because of my result, my mom invested $600 into cryptocurrency (just buy and hold) and my dad around $2k. Also my sister too, she invested into Ethereum. I didn’t ask them to be involved, but they’re the ones asking me to teach them. It’s a great feeling for me that they’ve finally no longer see as a financial disappointment until now.
That is a great story to read and sort of similar to mine as well. I used to work in hotels and I was doing very badly, I was earning minimum wage and I was married as well with parents that were retired and in bad financial situation as well. I had to take care of so many things and I was doing very badly with the small amount I was making and I hated every second of my job as well, around those days I got into crypto and I managed to make a bit of money there but not too much, just enough to see there was money to be made there.
I quit my job and failed maybe for 1 year before I started to do affiliate marketing and selling stuff and making crypto income, after that I became a freelance writer and ever since then I have been writing. Now I am making enough to pay for every need my house has, I help my mother in law as well because of her health reasons she can't afford many things, and I help my parents as well. I can't save much because of this many expenses but I do have few thousand dollars stashed in crypto as well. So, crypto took me from a minimum wage barely earning person to taking care of three households type of person.
