"Money from the air."
In 2015, after learning about Bitcoin and learning about blockchain technology, I tried every possible way to accumulate my first Bitcoin. Days were replaced by months, and collecting satoshes from free Bitcoins from cranes brought no results. The Bitcoin cranes were replaced by "cloud mining", where I safely lost all my previously earned satoshis. Left without cryptocurrency, I wondered "How to earn Bitcoin - without losing time and money (which I did not have)". And then an idea followed: "What if... I quit smoking, and the money that was meant to buy cigarettes... was used to buy Bitcoin?" That would allow me not only to buy Bitcoin every month, but also not to be afraid to lose money in case of its failure (Bitcoin was not the first of its kind, there were others...), and - this is a genius idea (I thought).
As it turned out, the idea really was a genius. It could fundamentally change not only my life but also the lives of those around me. But, I managed to get out of the nicotine trap only after 7 years. As the saying goes, "Better late than never."
On April 28, 2022, I smoked the last cigarette in my life and the next day (April 29, 2022) I started to work out a plan of investing in cryptocurrencies for the next three years.
