Hello, everyone! Finally, after 1 year of writing on this platform, I finally achieved my 1 BCH. I achieved it yesterday, before the BCH pumps all the way to the $600 mark. It seems the market waited for me before flying to the moon 😂. Just kidding!
I decided to keep it lowkey yesterday because I don’t want to create any noise while my emotions are at its peak. You know, when we act based on our actions we tend to commit mistakes. So I just let my excited ass to calm down and continue interacting with others like nothing happen 😆.
After scrolling on my Facebook a year ago, I saw this website that pays for every article you read. As a broke bored teenager, I immediately created my account. I started on this platform with no idea what’s going on. I am not even aware how this website pays, I just sprouted here like a lost child. However, to try this out, I created my first article about the government’s poor handling of COVID-19 here in our country. Thankfully, someone noticed my post and guided me throughout the platform.
I got paid for the first day of staying here. That’s my first Bitcoin Cash! As far as I can remember, that’s $0.30 to $0.50 but for me it's already huge.
Fast forward, I am not responsible for handling my money so everything I earned here is converted into fiat. Everything I earned is spent on online shopping platforms thus making me broke again.
I was just like that until I saw someone posted their 1 BCH achievement. After that I realized that for almost several months of writing here, I never achieved anything. How boring my journey is. It feels like I am exerting effort but I don't see any fruits of my hard works.
That time, little by little I disciplined myself to be responsible with my finances. I started to track my earnings, uninstall my Shopee app, and meditate when I'm feeling the urge to withdraw my money 😂. Fortunately, coins.ph released an order to not permit its not verified users to use the crypto features thus restricting me to use my BCH and saving a lot.
I changed my attitude. From being a shy and introverted guy, I became talkative and made friends. I used them as my inspiration to grind hard and be better. Shout out to Noiseristificationism fam!
And for just 3-4 months of being like that, I finally own a whole number on my BCH.
Now that I finally reached my 1 BCH, what am I planning to do?
Like others do, I will Hold On Dear Life (HODL) my Bitcoin Cash. I will treat this as my savings to my future.
Reaching 2 BCH is not my top priority right now. After draining my brain for almost everyday just to think of a topic to write, I think I deserve a rest.
I will focus on giving back to the community. I will spend the portion of my earnings in tipping and sponsoring others. That’s what I planned and promised.
If I have excess money, it will go directly to my personal wallet and expenses. I might also use this to diversify my crypto portfolio.
I will also try to learn more about trading, staking, and other ways to earn passive income. I don’t want to be fully independent on this platform as I believe everything is not permanent.
Guide and motivate the newbies in the community.
Ending remarks...
I want to thanks all of the people who supported me throughout my journey. As I mentioned to my recent articles, I am just a speck of dust without you.
I will continue to write to the best of my abilities and continue improving my craft.
That's all. Thanks for reading my article. Until next time! bye :))

Glad you were able to achieve your goal. Even better that you, at some point, made the decision to hold onto more of what you earn. For some of us this is just a side gig to have a little bit of fun and make a little money to boot. I realize others kind of consider this to be a job of sorts. No harm, no foul to any of those people I suppose.
Since I started writing online, through sites that pay, it has always been my desire to keep most or all of what I earn. And I have done that through the years, investing most of it in the stock market. I have written on sites like HubPages, MyLot, Niume, Bubblews, Daily Two Cents, WebAnswers and others. Most are now dead and gone, but that's for another day.
But the money is still in my pocket because I held onto it, and even though those sites are long gone, the money I earned yesterday continues to earn today.
So, holding onto your earnings is the best idea there is. Especially considering it IS crypto and has quite a bit of potential to be worth much more someday in the future.
As for my own BCH earnings, I COULD take it out and put it into the stock market. But for now I am content to just leave it in crypto and see where it takes me. I am a bit of a curious fellow anyway, and as I said before, it is not like I feel like I have had to necessarily WORK for any money I make here or anywhere else.
