My introductory post to the hive platform

Bitcoin now $28,000, Etherum $700 plus, BNB $37 ... It has gotten to it's peak. That's it's all time high. People are cashing out real big... These and many more were the news and information we were been fed with as at December 2020

What's Bitcoin? What is crypto currency? What's blockchain? How does it work? What drives the price?

The more questions you asked, the more answers you get and the more confused you become.

It is not to be taken serious. It is secretive and cumbersome. The world is not and cannot buy into the idea. Check these out, some countries have barnned it.

Bitcoin is the most popular crypto coin in the world. Sometime in 2016, I was introduced to Bitcoin as the future currency by a now late friend (my his soul rest). He was an engineering graduate from the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. He talked me into buying any amount however little and hold for the future. He was so sure the future of the crypto currency was bright.

After so many persuasion, I decided to give it a try. I downloaded the blockchain app and then bought about $23 worth. Four years later, I started hearing about Bitcoin and it's price soaring to about $28,000. Just then I remembered I had had about this 'thing' before now and bought into it. It's time to checkout the value of my holding. Oops, I need something called backup phrase to access my address and wallet.

Where am I going to get that from? 'Oh, you're supposed to document it initially' they said. I think I did then I replied. Then go find them!

Am still looking for it till date and that made me lose interest in the whole world of crypto not until this year January 2021 when I was reintroduced to it by @burlarj. And then, he presented this Hive platform to me to try out and also enjoy the company of other people in the community.
