As a young female college student, having additional income sources was one of the main deals for me after good grades. And to keep up with the demanding bills at school and the hard economy, Ponzi schemes were something almost half of the students back then did as a side hustle.
In the year 2017 precisely, I started looking for all possible ways to make money off the internet in the fastest possible way. In the quest for good money, I ventured into a lot of MMM and Ponzi scheme platforms.
For those of us just getting to hear these words, it meant having your money doubled or tripled by bringing in others.
It was in the heat of this money quest that I heard about bitcoin. So, one of the Ponzi sites then (Zarfund) required the use of bitcoin as compared to other sites in which fiat was used. A friend gave me some of his bitcoins which I stored in a blockchain wallet as of then and used for the transactions.
Fast forward to the late months of that same year, I heard about Steemit. a platform where one can make money by just writing. I dived into it fully, joined communities and got to learn about the platform, made lots of posts and some money.
During this time I volunteered a lot in many communities as a community moderator all in the bid to gain a proper understanding of cryptocurrency and how the Steemit and Hive blogs worked then.
However, things began to evolve in the crypto space real quick and due to some negligence on my path, I lost my savings wallet. This was so discouraging and I took a break from the crypto space for years.
Forward to late last year, I came back fully into the space and I realized I had a lot of catching up to do. It has not been a too tough journey as I had friends who were willing to put me back on track.
Nevertheless, since my return last year, I have worked on various projects as an ambassador, influencer, and community moderator/manager, Open mic manager, etc.
I am currently still influencing projects on Twitter and a big Fan of #Binance I hope this story inspired you not to give up so you won't miss out on a lot. Also, do not stop building as there is no limit to what you can achieve
