I first heard about bitcoin from a friend of mine at the office in the year 2016. I listened to him carefully while he educated me about bitcoin. At first it was like a fairy tale to me. I took it as if this my friend has gone crazy(pardon me for using that word), so reluctantly I agreed to give it a try. On getting home I opened my laptop and google the word bitcoin, it opened and and I clicked on the wikipedia link where everything about bitcoin was explained. I almost screamed when I read the history section where it was explained that it was lower that $1 as at the time it was launched. I hurriedly called my friend on phone and told him what I saw and read, then I asked him how I can start trading bitcoin. He told me to visit the site bockchain.info and register to get a wallet where my bitcoin will be stored. As at that time the price of bitcoin was $745/BTC. Immediately I registered and downloaded the blockchain app on my phone and within a few hours I bought my first 0.5BTC. that is the fun of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, you can buy as low as a 1000th of it. I left it there in my wallet. This happened around October 2016. Around mid January 2017, the price of bitcoin has almost doubled and I was almost tempted to sell at that price but I refused to do so. Though before then I have read from experts that the price of bitcoin will reach $10,000 before the end of 2017. So instead of selling mine I bought additional 0.2BTC making it a total of 0.7BTC in my wallet. My breakthrough came when the price of bitcoin reached $7000/BTC. That was when I sold 0.2 BTC and made a lot of profit. Ever since then I have been trading on bitcoin and other altcoins, buying when the price goes down and selling when the price is high. I also buy and sell to clients. Cryptocurrency has really transformed the world of finance by making the method of doing business less stressful. Cryptocurrency is indeed the currency of the future.
