it's incredible how lucky I have been discovering Bitcoin in 2017...

In a world where you become what you are supposed to become, my predestined (financial) future would have seen me working 40 hours per week to pay a 35years mortgage on my house while barely enjoy things outside work.

and that's exactly how my life has started. Son of 2 public sector employees in a country with an extremely scarce knowledge of the different financial tools available out there, I ended up working full time for a company, in order to be able to afford paying back the bank from which I borrowed money for my 1st house... just like my parents did and pretty much everyone esle I know around me.

Living the average life they want us to live, in order for this (messy) system to keep going... at least until the next crash/crysis (life is what happened to us between a crysis and another, right?)

but then something happened... in 2017 a few colleagues introduced me to the crypto world, I didn't even understand what it was but I jumped in. At that time they were all buying XRP because the feeling was we had lost the BTC train ($7k at that time xD).

I took me a few years to really understand the meaning and the power of BTC, but then I finally started DCAing consistently, increasing my buy when some dips happened (oh my how many we had since then!)

Long story short, in less than 7 years I took profit a few time to improve my life with some trips or useless expensive stuff that made me happy, and I was even able to re-negotiate my mortgage! I also managed to reduce my working hours since I feel I don't need to be that much of a slave anymore...

I still have most of my BTC stash and I am still DCAing with the goal of keep improving my life and my wealth, and I'm glad I could discover BTC, otherwise I'm sure there wouldn't have been any chance for me to live a better life than the one "that was meant for me".
