We hear stories about people who got in early and they made it big. How about people like me who was not a tech person knew nothing about finance. My family has struggled. I never learned about money. I never came from money, but Bitcoin gave me Hope and knowledge and logic. How did I learn all that? How did I get to know the smartest people so that I could learn everything??. Why doesn’t anyone ever want that story? #Bitcoin #Nostr

Awesome job, Mel. My hope is that millions more have this same story.

I keep thinking that people think that this can’t help them anymore or it’s too late because the only stories I think that I heard are ones

Yep. Little do they know that we are only in the 2nd inning. More and diverse education is needed.

I keep thinking middle-aged white female would be a different voice and it might reach a different audience because it’s not the audience were reaching now I just happen to be one of those early adapter type people who ends up in something like this thankfully, but my family was on the brink of disaster in 2008 and we started over from scratch We had nothing. And had I not bought $100 worth of bitcoin because it was Internet money and that made sense to me since I have been an early eBay seller since 1998 and I bought 100 bucks worth and forgot all about it.

Love to hear it. Glad that your initial investment stayed secure. I found Bitcoin in late 21. Becoming more seasoned.

Sounds like you are doing your part to be that voice. (I don't fall into your demographic) lol

I really haven’t. I’m just saying it out loud over here because I can. It’s something it’s been on my mind. I found out that I am actually the lowest demographic of bitcoin ownership which kind of proud of.

Sit tight...they will in the future 🙂

These are the absolute best stories. Bitcoin has pulled the veil for a lot of people and in a very real way saved them from a life of frustration, confusion and excess toil.

I mean, you have no idea we lost everything in the great financial crisis living in Detroit and again I am not wealthy, but I got away from there. I got my kids into better schools. I found bitcoin and I found a reason to understand what’s possible.

That’s the best part of #bitcoin. It is freedom money available to everyone who studies and understands it. The school curriculums never teach personal finance, credit agencies encourage you to take on more debt, but #bitcoin gives hope and freedom back to us common working people that the fiat system counted out and overlooked

And the fact that you want to understand it and that it makes sense because it’s logical no one‘s trying to hide anything about this. It just makes everything clearer if you give it the chance when I bought that hundred bucks worth of bitcoin and it turned into $4700 when I discovered it againI remember my dad saying oh sell it sell it I said I wanna know why it did that what it is doing and what is it? What could it be down the line?
