My journey with Bitcoin has been long and in the process I've learned a lot, mainly about money and its meaning in the global landscape. I've been following Bitcoin since the genesis block, not with the same intensity as in recent years, but I've been here since the beginning. Initially I thought it was a scam to fool people, then I became a miner and got robbed by the pool. I gave up for a few years but came back around 2017. Bitcoin has taught me that price is not the most important thing because Bitcoin is a fundamental revolution in the way we relate to money. I've also learned to respect and listen to the opinions of those more experienced. I believe that we should enjoy the appreciation of Bitcoin, spending it on things we need but without the need to show off signs of wealth. The price volatility helps to keep humility in check.
