Four years back, I uploaded my initial "bitcoin photo" on Instagram, marking the early days when I was earning my design salary in bitcoin. Although content, I was fairly quiet about my bitcoin engagement online and lacked deep knowledge about it or bitcoin maximalism.
That first post was a pivotal moment. It led to an invitation to a podcast, which, despite alienating a financial advisor friend (we're still not on speaking terms 😂), opened new avenues for me. I connected with an Italian bitcoin aficionado through it, leading to my participation in bitcoin-focused Clubhouse sessions. There, I encountered my first fellow bitcoin enthusiasts, forming close bonds and even meeting my boyfriend.
Previously, I was unacquainted with any Italian bitcoiners. Now, my life is transformed: I explore the globe with my partner, am employed by a wonderful company, and engage with a dynamic group of female bitcoin enthusiasts in Italy, besides having friends from the bitcoin community worldwide.
Reflecting on it, I can't imagine where I'd be if I hadn't shared that photo. So, if you're contemplating whether to take a certain step—go for it.
