Initially, all these started from an idea of keeping my English communication skills in check. It was a cigarette break conversation with a friend whom brought to my attention, apparently this is a platform that we can make some friends, practice in writing, communicating, at the same time earn some crypto. And that was about 10 years ago.
It took me so much more of procrastination over and over again. I didn't even start with this handle as this handle was previously well developed in the car community at discussion forums. I have registered an account with a random name that I don't even care to remember the handle, not to mention the password.
Until one day, my Alcatel finally gave up on me. I was so busy transfering data out from the broken phone, to my new Redmi 4X. That was the time I remember there's this platform I can dump some photos, write down a few words and hopefully getting some votes, hopefully enough money to cover for my new phone purchase.
I think life treated me really well. I think as soon as I started like 2 weeks in, everything goes so right. And that was the first bull run that literally show me where the money is. My post made like a totally of 5 dollars, but the token is really taking me to the moon. Before I realized, those tokens brought me and the family went to enjoy a huge burger meal. And guess what, since then I have been putting my own money into the system 😂 and that's where exactly everything goes down hill.
Unwillingly, my money was already in. Despite I did took some profit at some point, but it was never enough to make me any richer than before I've invested rock hard cash into it. Willingly, I have already learnt that, it's not always about the money. In this web³ blogging platform, I have learned to deal with my own devil, writing down my weakness, things that I wish to remind myself, especially the most recent years where I lost my dad, and my current health condition.
No one promise us life is going to be easy. God doesn't promise us we can grow rich by blogging. But one thing I think we should always remember, which is the opportunity that god still allowing us to still sitting here doing what we love and truly live our life. I'm already 1 year late by the time I started blogging, but it's never too late to start somewhere. I'm just glad that I still have the strength and spirit to continue here. Let's hope and pray for a better next year, and I'm am here to get again, celebrate my 10th birthday in web3 Blockchain blogging environment.
