As someone who currently lives in a third-world country, any alternative income that can be conveniently earned is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that cannot be missed.
When my college friend introduced me this forum, he explained that it was possible to earn income by working online. Since I was also struggling financially (living with a family of 5 with a single dad raising us), I opted to listen and to know the fundamentals of BTC.
Ever since I started earning from my signature campaigns, I tried as much as possible to introduce this forum to some of my close friends (and relatives) about the nature of BTC. Though most of them brushed such idea by claiming that it was an 'online scam' or 'pyramid scheme', there were some people who listened passionately and tried joining this forum!
Through word of mouth, I was able to send the message and inform them about the nature of cryptocurrencies!
Sometimes we can't deny that we have been forced to listen to things especially when talking money like about Bitcoin because of our financial problem. But if we have stable financial support, I don't think so.
This is actually how we got involved and know about crypto, it is our chance and we had forced to understand it due to some reason but we don't send any complain because we also benefiting from this far apart from those who neglected this.
I'd came from a third-world country and I was happy of knowing this as it really helps me. And I feel how you'd feel as well especially when someone is not listening to us and even they think that we are a scammer.
