Thank you!

Thank you letter!

I've never seen the outside world of crypto except for BTC (bitcoin). I was introduced to BTC way back in 2009 by my friend @leveluplifeph . "Digital money" just think of it digital money! You cannot hold it it's just a bunch of 1's and 0's on your PC. Let's go back to history. People trade with each other, to trade they use salt, spices, grains and livestock's. Then they discover silver and gold (FYI these are from documentaries that I've watched before) as far as I know. For context you can search in Google "money wiki".

The internet gave us the vast knowledge that is available on it. I discovered the wall street in 2010 they are using landline phones to call potential customers to invest on a company that they believe will go up in value. We go back to trade again, below is an example of simple trade what is happening on Wall street and Philippine stock exchange. They use FIAT and Bonds (bonds I'm not sure I'm not an expert).

Company = McDonalds
McDonalds product = Fries
Middle man or Market Maker = PSE (Philippine Stock Exchange)
Investor = You

Middle man calls to you he says "buy fries" you say yes now your an investor on the company. You make money, middle man makes money and company makes money everyone is happy (FYI I am not an investor on stocks because I hate Math).

If we go back in time the trade is so simple you give goods I give goods and we are done. On the new age trade you give goods, I talk to other people, other people talk to you and we are done.

BTC is a form of currency which happens to be inside of the internet. I remember @leveluplifeph giving me this link where you have a roulette wheel you just click on it and it will stop on random part of the wheel and you get Satoshi coins.

I was intrigued by it curious and excited at the same time. Imagine just by clicking this wheel over and over again I can get money in the form of digital money!? So I did it for 6 months I did not read the white paper I don't know if there is whitepaper on it I just clicked away. Now I have BTC I just HODL it (you are thinking that I have a bunch of BTC on my account nope made a withdrawal story will be on my journey series).

2024 I was introduced to Hive again the curiosity out of me kicks in WHAT!!!??? You can make money while writing an article or blogging and here we are 3 weeks in I'm passionate about it.
