My Crypto Journey

Manny Dacat started his cryptocurrency journey during the Pandemic of 2020. Like the rest of the world who suddenly themselves with a lot of spare time on their hands, Manny took the time to research more about crypto. He has already heard about Bitcoin back in the bull market of 2017 - and ignored it, because back then he was still into the traditional market Ponzi, mostly the Philippine stock markets.

Manny found out that crypto was, historically, sometimes given for free, via crypto faucets - sites that give out a small amount of crypto that will not make you rich and are instead usually used for transaction fees. Learn and earn programs also gave them out, particularly Coinmarketcap's. In fact, the first crypto he ever had was Bandchain ($BAND) - which he got from Coinmarketcap's Learn and Earn Program back then.

Afterwards, Manny created an exchange account in Binance, where the reward could be sent. It was here where Manny began to invest his own money on various coins/tokens, such as $BNB, $LINK, and $BTC.

Delving deeper into the Binance and general crypto socmed ecosystem, he learned about AMA sessions (ask me anything) held by Binance (and other crypto exchanges) where you could earn a dollar or so's worth of cryptocurrency. (usually $10 denominated in the cryptocurrency of that AMA session) Manny attended these sessions regularly and profited from them, and reinvested that profit into buying other coins. Sometimes the rewards would even be more than expected, $100 worth instead of $10 worth, which did happen a few times!

Manny also began to follow and learn a lot from prominent crypto Youtubers, such as Bitboy Ben Armstrong, CryptosRUs George, Altcoin Daily, Liteliger. Liteliger in particular, thought him about the potential of airdrops - a tactic that cryptocurrency companies use to onboard new users, and maybe to skirt securities law(?) by distributing ownership to the public.
