I embarked on my cryptocurrency journey back in 2016, but my fascination with the concept began years before that. I've always been naturally inclined to explore new frontiers, particularly in technology and the evolving landscape of our world. However, I do regret not delving deeper into cryptocurrencies earlier. It was a missed opportunity, partly due to a lack of focus. Even back then, I firmly believed that cryptocurrencies were undeniably the future economy of the world.
Fast forward to 2024, and this belief has solidified into reality. If you haven't realized this by now, you're either unable to foresee the future or unwilling to embrace it. Because the future doesn't wait for anyone; it's our responsibility to catch up to it.
Examining the current state of the world, we see a financial system riddled with corruption, where fiat currencies are essentially conjured out of thin air by central banks.

In contrast, cryptocurrencies serve as a return to the historic use of coins in early markets—tokens of exchange with inherent value. Bitcoin, in particular, has shifted power back into the hands of individuals by facilitating currency exchange on the free market. This evolution mirrors the natural progression of money and value being exchanged, seen similarly as with other examples like the introduction of paper money, credit cards, or any other way of how transactions have been made easier throughout history.
Looking ahead, digital assets will undoubtedly play a pivotal role, surpassing traditional assets like gold, silver, or real estate.

And you can have it stored in your pocket.
