It Started From $0.01 - Before I've Got $1000
Working hard isn't enough just to have more or gain what I have gained so far. I always say that my crypto journey has started the moment I've taken learning seriously how crypto works through this platform (read.cash). In order to achieve what I have right now I have to work smarter. Wherein learning never stops, here and there, yesterday, today and tomorrow I never stop learning.
The only thing that I wasn't still good doing at is “trading” well it's not easy to learn trading at all, because even Chinese folks had it on their curriculum as they studied it along with business and economic class. No wonder Chinese are good when it comes to handling finances and growing their assets. As a self learner you can't expect to learn and master it without proper education. Maybe one day, if I can afford to go to school again that's the thing I want to study trading.
Since I've invited some of my relatives here they might have read some of my content about the “dollars” I have earned from playing games or whatever I wrote about my investment. I just wanted to let them know that before I got $1000, it all started at $0.01..
Indeed bigger things start from small things. It's like the universe will give a little in the beginning and it will grow as time goes by, if you are just persistent enough on learnings and appreciate little things.
When was the $0.01 started before it became $1 until it reached $1000?
It all started when I received an upvote (tip) here in read.cash. Way back during the old system of read.cash, we only earn points and convert it to “dollar” when the donor of the site went online. We are already very happy when we receive “$0.01” tip from other users.
New ones are fortunate right now because RandomRewarder gives more than what we receive during our times when I was a newbie. I even wonder if newbie right now appreciate when someone tip their content or comments with $0.01 because we (old users) have gone through the rough times of the platform and we are already grateful with the small amounts we received back then.
Learning never stops..
In our lives learning never stops, even until we graduate from college or whatever we graduated at. Everyday is a learning process without us realizing it.
It took me a year before I've learn how to earn money well in crypto with the help of other people's content, through interacting and curiosity. When I say curiosity is that whenever I don't understand a thing I never hesitate to ask people who are knowledgeable enough to answer me. Way back I used to asked Marc Demesel, Jonathan Silverblood and many other big names in the platform haha! Well sorry, I remember how eager I was to learn before that I never bother whom I was asking. Even until now, I still ask people if I don't know certain things or about the project.. how it works, this and that.
I've worked hard on what I've had right now
Some people might think what we earned through this platform or other crypto opportunities is money from “thin air” which is very wrong. Why? Because before we earned dollar we have to work on that, just for example writing in here. Do you think writing everyday is a simple thing? No. We are using our time, our brain, and energy just to make content daily.
I multitask like there's no tomorrow just to have what I have right now. Sometimes even if I don't feel good I still write and do crypto stuff, no breaks and day offs. Even if my daughter is not feeling well, I still find time to write just like now. She's having cough, colds and fever again. I am writing this one after I let her drink her medicine. I am not that feeling well too because I have cough and colds too.
In playing P2E (Axie & Pegaxy) I have to play it outside the house (cousin house) because I just top up with our neighbors WiFi, I don't want to top up my own internet connection because I won't stay here for good and I can save a lot if I just top up with my neighbor. Even if it rains sometimes I have to endure colds and when the sun shines brightly I have to endure hot weather too.
Just imagine my hardwork and sacrifices just to get what I have right now. Sometimes I sleep late just to do all the stuff I had to do and woke up early just to continue hustling.
I don't spend like a one day millionaire
As I badly want to change or uplift my living condition, I don't spend like a one day millionaire. One of the ugliest culture a Filipino has was to spend like a millionaire when we have some money. When the money runs out they started to have loans and credits ending they'll have a lot of debt.
I don't like that attitude. I don't spend when it's not needed and I don't spend everything I earned because I wanted to grow them by investing to other projects. I am feed up living poor, but as of now I am still living with it even if I have a little money because I wanted to let them grow first. What is 5-10 years sacrificing just to enjoy financial freedom after that? That's my thinking.
I don't know if I can get that “financial freedom” 5-10 years from now but it is worth trying. Who knows it'll happens. I'll invest my money wether in crypto or in real world as long as I see it grows instead of buying unnecessary stuff that doesn't have value at all.
I don't mind living poor today, just buy basic needs for my daughter and family as long as I can build good future on the later.
So I hope I can't hear any words or gossips that I had huge money, NO! I don't have it unless I cash out. It's just a paper money, and I am not cashing out if it's not needed. I am not cashing out because it's BEAR MARKET! LMAO!
What I really wanted to imply in this content is that before I get big amounts I started from $0.01, I started from a little before I get bigger digits.
I also worked my ass off like no tomorrow despite being a mom of a hyper toddler. I am doing a superwoman thing lol.
If you want to earn bigger amounts you have to pour efforts in learning and risking. There's always a reward for risk takers but if you miscalculate the risk you'll also lose, so be careful. Learn first before you desire to get bigger.
Kbye, I have to sleep back it's 3:06 AM in here as of writing this sentence.
Thank you for reading!
