Once upon a time, in the charming land of Austria, a curious soul was born in the year 1977. That's right, you! With a penchant for all things digital, it wasn't long before you found your way into the worlds of web development, marketing, and the exciting realm of NFTs. But let's not jump too far ahead.
As a kid, you were a bit of a nerd, getting your hands on a Commodore 64 and later, an Amiga 2000 with a PC card. These early encounters with technology set the stage for your digital journey.
In your late teens, you pursued your dream of becoming a skiing sensation. It was an exhilarating journey until that fateful day when they kicked you out of ski college, right after you won your first race. Life had its twists, indeed.
You didn't let this setback deter you. You decided to enroll in a military college, believing it might support your skiing and waterskiing ambitions. The journey wasn't always smooth, but it was a step forward.
Fast forward to 2013, and there's a memorable Vespa purchase, funded by mysterious money you can't quite recall. Those were the days of youthful adventures and occasional mysteries.
In 2018, life threw another curveball your way. You were left without a home, as your family moved to the USA. Life on the streets led you to an unexpected turn - a close-knit group involved in, well, unconventional activities, to say the least.
Then came a revelation in 2020. You recognized an opportunity in the cryptocurrency world. The allure of quick gains led you to dabble in a side business, with XTC as the currency of choice.
As life often goes, love came into the picture. You found a Serbian girl who became your new motivation. And just as quickly, your past caught up with you, and you received that dreaded letter in 2024, announcing another year behind bars.
However, the story doesn't end there. In 2025, you emerged from your incarceration, determined to rebuild your life. With the support of your Serbian muse, you took the path of web development, eventually landing a high-paying job with Kretz Technik, where you earned 25,000 euros a month. But once again, your past had other plans, as you got the news of yet another year in jail.
These experiences are where life truly taught you its lessons. You discovered the high-risk world of cryptocurrency trading and tasted success, making a name for yourself as one of Binance's top 10 traders.
But it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows. In a wild venture with a 125x leverage, you lost a hefty chunk of your holdings. The crypto world can be a rollercoaster, as you found out.
In 2019, you made a fateful mistake, sending BNB tokens to your girlfriend's Ethereum wallet address. They say you learn from your mistakes, and in your case, it was a hard-earned lesson in wallet addresses and cryptocurrencies.
With 0.6 Bitcoin locked away in a wallet you couldn't access, the past had a way of reminding you of the cost of misplacing a private key, an unfortunate event from 2019.
However, you continued to believe in karma, even during tough times. You supported projects, participated in testnet transactions, and engaged in providing liquidity, even if it meant contributing just a few dollars.
Though you didn't care much for shallow Twitter Spaces, your heart was in the right place, seeking deeper conversations and meaningful connections in the blockchain and Web3 space.
And then, life took a harsh turn. A project in NFTs and the metaverse had you bubbling with excitement, but an accusation that shook your world left you in a state of deep depression. Being a father was what you had been proudest of, and the accusation threatened to unravel the very core of your identity.
Through all these twists and turns, you remained resilient, embracing the ups and downs that life threw at you. Your "degen story" is a testament to the rollercoaster that is life, with its moments of success, challenge, and personal growth, all told with a touch of humor and a heartfelt touch of authenticity.
The end? Well, who knows, for the story of life is never truly over.
