MY BITCOIN STORY: In the summer of 2017, I woke up broken. Knees swollen, wrists hurt, constant low fever, and we had no idea why. This happened right after I graduated with a masters degree. I was ready to surf the world, BUT NOPE.. I was bed ridden. fortunately, I had a supporting family to care for me. How was I supposed to make any money? How am I supposed to be healthy? These two questions were the beginning of my self-curriculum. While on the couch, I remembered my buddy showing me “CrYpTo” and ethereum’s flash crash in 2017. Now that I had time, and a little bit of grad money, I started down the rabbit hole. I ended up purchasing Bitcoin with all the grad money with a promise to myself to never sell it. (Yes I shitcoined a ton, but kept my promise). It felt like rock bottom when I was on the couch, not knowing if I’d ever recover and live a normal Life. Scariest time of my life still.. Now in hindsight, I’m incredibly grateful for those couple months and the time it gave me to introspect, learn, & discover. We never really figured out what happened. We found the hla b27 antigen which means I am more prone to autoimmune disorders. Haven’t had a flare up since. Here’s a video I made years ago for TikTok reflecting on what I learned Pv https://m.primal.net/JVJm.mov

'One love One heart Let's join together and I'll feel alright One love (oh, Lord, have mercy) One heart I tell you, let's just salsabrate (let's join together) And I will feel alright (and I'll feel alright) Let's join together and I'll feel alright' -Bob Marley. Peace and love to you brother 🕊️ 💕

That's a pretty incredible story! Aweomse you found your way to #Bitcoin and also found your way here. (note: If you are prone to autoimmune issues I'd recommend to not get anymore vaccines, no idea if it's related here, but I've heard anecdotal stories similarly "lightning strike" levels of bizarre and inexplicable)
