Chifu Enters The World Of Steemit, rags to riches story
Hello knowledge seekers,
my name is the CryptoChifu, a cryptocurrency investor and trader since 2015 with 4+years experience in cryptocurrency market and being a student of knowledge since then. But every student in life will reach a point to mastering the ways and infiltrate the complex methodology and philosophy behind cryptocurrencies and how to make money with it. And now I entered steemit to share my knowledge and story amongst the crypto people.
In April 2015, I was living an average life out their and I only made 10$ a day from my affiliate marketing business and that WAS IT. 300$ a month that I barely survived on. I used to buy used clothes, walk all day, and buy cheap street food and that WAS IT. I reached a point where my emergency fund was decreasing month-by-month as I saw everything collapse, reaching a point where you could go homeless and have no where to stay, no roof above my head, or to sleep.
But then I found Bitcoin and I think my story is weirdest because I found a Bitcoin ATM and no one used it, started searching on my old laptop about Bitcoin and the rest is history.
3 days then passed, and it was February 27th , I remember vividly how my days where coming to an end and how I couldn't pay the rent for the apartment. But at that point I have a EUREKA breakthrough and that was that I asked one of my uncles who was the last of them and was old, stubborn, and worse of all stingy.
He lived 113 kilometers from me so I had to travel on a bus with whatever was left from my money. And when I reached their I visited him and sat with him, we talked about our lives for 15 minutes but then I proposed this business idea a.k.a trading cryptocurrency but he disagreed straight away and didn't offer me the money at all so I left and went back to my appartment and that was my lowest point back then, just days or weeks before I break the bank and rot on the street.
After 2 weeks of waiting my end, I received a call that my uncle was in hospital and had to go surgery as his leg broke from a car accident so I had to travel back to his town to see him. My uncle even though was old and stubborn but had 3 kids and all of them are living abroad so I was the only person responsible to take care of him. I stayed with him in hospital for 3 weeks and I even got calls of paying my rent and had to block the contact since I have 0$.
After my uncle got out of the hospital he gave me a check with 3,000$ and told me and I remember this and will never forget it, "boy take this money and do whatever you wanted to do with it." I literally cried and kissed him on the forehead and I took an oath not to disappoint.
I remember my first trade of Bitcoin when I bought it and started trading monero XMR which was at the time trading for 0.42 cents and then a week later sold it for 0.56 cents. And I only used 2000$ and kept the other 1000$ with me. I remember making my first profitable trade and made 500$+.
Started expanding my knowledge about crypto, building relationships in the space, reading crypto e-books that cost 5-10$, reading news daily. And that is how I started. And as Sun Tzu says,
“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
― Sun Tzu
