Thank you for writing this Eric, you really should consider writing a book about your journey with crypto.
I'm just a novice but know from what my son told me that patience is vital, so I just kept on blogging through the ups and the downs but last year as you know, this $Hive became my life-raft during our hard lockdown and I will forever be thankful for people like you, always encouraging and a prime example of what this journey can be like if you persevere!
Thank you my friend!
You're welcome, my friend. I've definitely considered recording the details of my journey, for family history at least. It is certainly a very unique and unlikely story. I'm still flabbergasted at how lucky I've been and I hope that feeling never leaves me.
I'm very glad you had your Hive earnings as a safety net. When you are able to exchange crypto-earnings for real life needs is when crypto becomes very real to you. I believe that many folks will be discovering this in the next few years as the traditional financial markets begin their decline.
