Tell us a little bit about yourself.

I am the 1st of 4 children in my family. I am happily married to my best friend who has blessed me with 2 children of our own.

When did you get in to crypto and what drew your attention to investing in it?

In 2019, my friend kept telling me, “You need to buy Bitcoin. You need to buy Ethereum. You need to buy Tron.” At the time I didn’t have the money to invest, but he had me intrigued enough, that I began to see the future. So, I started working towards that. It took a while, but I saved up $100, which has a little more weight where I’m from in comparison with some other areas of the world. But I had enough to make my 1st cryptocurrency purchase.

What was your first cryptocurrency purchase?

TRX was my 1st legitimate purchase. I only say that because as I was going to get in on the Shiba Inu craze, I gave a friend of mine $15 to purchase Shiba Inu, and he stole the money. Had he made that purchase in 2020, we would both be rich men.

What was your initial thought and process of how to buy cryptocurrency?

It was very difficult then, and it’s still difficult now. It all depends on if you see the same digital future as many others in the space to take the time to figure out how to invest. Because things evolve so fast, I don’t know much about Cronos,

Ethereum, ADA, my focus is the BSC (Binance Smart Chain). A lot of others in my country may get some inside knowledge on something they think will be a good investment, but they keep it to themselves or in their family. It’s not like the Western world where information is everywhere, so it makes it even more difficult to get involved. Most of us have to start by paying someone to help us buy.

What was your biggest gain since getting started in crypto?

I haven’t made any big gains. There are times where you could go for weeks, or months, without any work here. Or you must wait a few weeks to get your salary from work you completed, so you must cut into your savings. In my case, crypto is my savings account.
