Remembering the years when I started dialysis and I still have no access to at least the Internet, my life is pelted with fear, uncertainty, and "death." Death because I am only getting six times of mediocre dialysis treatments with the uncertain feeling that I may suffer complications plus the fact that I have no insurance nor any of my family members so my mind is constantly thinking about such future and current problems.
Then came my access to the Internet when my sister-in-law bought an old PC, then a second hand IBM laptop which they give it to me later on. Along with it the USB dongle for getting access to the Internet which is very slow when I first started. I have no money that time so I just went into using a free VPN, then a paid one and eventually a lined internet and then back to wireless which I am currently using now.
I may have to drop this Internet access soon though and share the Internet of my sister so in that way I could save half and save my sister too in paying a relatively expensive Internet.
Then I started to find ways in earning money which is hard because I have no skills so I end up with joining a few ponzi schemes which back then I was denying that they were but eventually time told that they truly are and I was a victim.
Fortunately I had made some money from a social blogging site and the money from it I used from my medical needs before those things happened so I wasn't hurt that bad but I did learned.
I used some of my money to venture in trading with bitcoin and altcoins and so I learned about that spiky digital currency that had gotten my attention back then because of its volatile up-down movements. Looking deeper I saw that steemit was a social media platform that pays steem.
So I thought that since I am in a panic mode as I have no more sources of income for my medical needs as i am really in a a bad shape already I signed up at steemit and introduced my situation to the community and here I am today.
I met friends here but I truly am speechless about the love and support here because I am getting the care that gave me peace of mind especially for my parents who are dragged into my life mess.
But somewhat my life is not that boring anymore because of the Bitcoin along with the altcoins because I truly believe that it will uplift me from what makes me go into despair, it gives me hope that someday I can win my battle with my medical condition through the valuation of cryptos which I know will happen in the near future. Indeed I must say that cryptos gave excitement in my boring and prodigal life.
Hey @cryptopie ...... well since you are board, check out this crazy insane madness of a smart contract game called Fomo3D ...... learn about it and let me know what you think.
This thing has deprived me of sleep literally....and of some ethereum....hehehe..... seriously though, let me know what you conclude.
ps. I did a post on this new crazy investment game lotto ticket loss of money here Fomo3D
Sir it's a Ponzi, buying like a "ticket to Eth Keys" then earning referrals from the future Rekt people that wants to get rich fast. I am all through with that, I don't even use bid bots here. Plus more importantly my religion forbids gambling. I know that you want me to earn some money so that maybe I can buy a new body if that will be possible but thank you Sir anyway. God bless and keep you.
No problem @cryptopie .... and just so you know, I didn't show you so you can join but so you can give me your opinion because this is such a strange hybrid of a game, a gamble, an investment, ponzi scheme, a pyramid and a smart contract all in one.
But yes I do wish for you to do good and I know crypto will help.... especially now that Bitcoin has returned to $8000 !!
You are someone who has overcome so many struggles - I really admire that. And yes, Steemit is about much more than money. Keep at it!
