My name is Irakiza , and I’m writing to share my experience discovering Ecency and how I earned my first cryptocurrency by simply sharing my thoughts and stories.
I live in Burundi, a country where access to financial opportunities is limited — but Hive and Ecency opened a door I never expected.
🚀 How I Found Ecency
I discovered Ecency through some online research while looking for new ways to grow personally and earn income online. I was excited by the idea of being rewarded for my writing, creativity, and consistency.
I created my Hive account and downloaded the Ecency app. At first, I was not sure what to write — but then I realized I could simply share my real life, opinions, and ideas.

🧠 My First Post and Reward
I wrote my first post about my life in Burundi and how young people can use blockchain to improve themselves.
I didn’t expect much — but after 7 days, I received a small reward in Hive Power (HP) and HBD.
Even if it wasn’t a big amount, it was my first ever crypto reward, and that motivated me to continue.
