Two very important factors. Firstly, it is a way how to make some money aside from what I am doing at the moment. Not going to lie, but many are here for the same reason, so why not give it a try. However, as time goes on, every sane person has to agree how much sense it makes: as there are no regulations destroying the market (well, they exist, but it will take government some time, hopefully), especially if we are talking about truly open-source cryptocurrencies. Trade war, AOC and other crazy stuff is happening in the US (Europe is even in worse state, though- look at UK, for example) in combination with this space made me questioning the system even more.
And what is my goal, after all?
I am not sure at this point. I would love to see a peaceful, market-driven, dismantling of current archaic elistist structures as their corrupt mean hands will be finally out of reach of our money. And that would be prosperous for individuals as well, including me
