Crypto Journey Part 1😈🎉📈🐂🐻📉
Hey Guys, today want to share personal story about my intro in Crypto, don’t forget to subscribe, like 👍🏻 and comment if you wish to see further posts like this.
I’m working as merchant navy since December 2013, so I have completed my first contract and came back home 🇺🇦 from my first ship in beg of July 2014.
I have a cousin who have been already familiar with #BTC at that time and we were spending a lot of time together.I came back from my trip with a good money in my pocket and had around 8-9k$. The summer in Odesa was hot and nice so I was partying in nightclubs,restaurants and so on quite frequently.
My cousin sees this and he start telling me “Bro, invest at least 1000$ in Bitcoin and forget about it for next 5 years”. I did not fully understand what is this and consider that is completely scam so I didn’t. For your info if we are going back to BTC chart history in July 2014 it was worth ~525$ and price was bearish as it keeps falling. So in the best case scenario I could have bought almost or around 2 BTC but I didn’t.🤷‍♂️
So the next time I have heard about BTC in summer 2017 when Bitcoin was in bull market and my friend just told me that BTC reaches 3000$ but I was keep skeptic and still consider it a scam.
The next BTC story I heard from same friend and he was telling to me that “Imagine bitcoin price reaches 13000$ “ it was back in December 2017 that time I already considered that it will be 0$ and could not rise more.
This was my first time hearing about Bitcoin but I never consider it different than just a scam or financial ponzi scheme.
Finally when I was working in 🇳🇬 company in 2021 the guys keep asking me if I’m in crypto, cause almost all nigerians onboard were doing crypto, and start asking my colleagues how to trade,invest sell and etc. Especially I became interested when one of lowest rank guy onboard had made per one day profit of 1700$ on crypto when his monthly salary been around 1300$. #cryptotalks #lifestory

🔄 What It Will Take to Make Bitcoin a Real Medium of Exchange

Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold—it’s digital potential.

But for it to work like real money, we need more than memes and moon talk:

✅ Speed – Lightning network is helping, but it needs to be seamless.
✅ Stability – Volatility must be tamed for daily spending.
✅ Adoption – Merchants, apps, governments all need skin in the game.
✅ Mindset Shift – People must stop seeing BTC as just a vault and start seeing it as a tool.

We don’t need everyone to spend their BTC—just enough to show it’s more than a store of value. That’s how we make history practical.

And it starts with us.

🪙 If You Had 10,000 BTC Today—Would You Ever Spend It?

The real question isn’t “What would you buy?”
It’s “Would you have the courage to use it?”

Laszlo spent 10,000 BTC on pizza. We call it crazy now. But if no one used Bitcoin, it’d just be code with hype.

If I had 10,000 BTC today, I’d probably hedge, stake, trade, maybe even lend. But spend it? That takes belief that what’s coming is bigger than what’s here now.

💡Holding = safety.
📢Spending = signal.
Both matter.

Because for crypto to live, someone’s gotta take the first bite.

🏪 How Crypto Could Reshape Everyday Spending in the Next 10 Years

Crypto isn’t just for charts and trading—it’s a blueprint for freedom.

In the next 10 years, we might not think about using crypto—we’ll just do it. Tap your phone, pay in USDT, BTC, or even that day’s hot airdrop token. No banks, no borders, no conversions.

🛒 Grocery shopping? Instant stablecoin payment.
✈️ Booking flights? Earn cashback in tokens.
🧾 Subscriptions? Auto-pay with your staking rewards.

What we’re doing now—daily trades, hedging, farming, claiming Alpha Points—is building the foundation.

Crypto will be spending, not speculation.

We’re just early.

🍕 What Bitcoin Pizza Day Tells Us About Early Adoption & Risk-Taking

Back in 2010, someone paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas. It sounds insane now—those coins would be worth hundreds of millions today. But let’s be real: without people like that taking a leap, none of us would even be here trading or earning from crypto.

🔸 Was it a mistake? Maybe.
🔸 Was it necessary? Absolutely.

That “pizza guy” didn’t just buy lunch. He proved Bitcoin could be used like real money. And every early adopter since then has carried that same spirit—risking today for the future we believe in.

Fast forward to now—we’re trading, yield farming, airdrop hunting, hedging spot with futures, learning the system inside out. It’s easy to forget how far we’ve come.

Bitcoin Pizza Day isn’t just about pizza—it’s about the price of belief, and how bold actions shape the world we’re building.

🚀 Keep experimenting. Keep learning. And always manage your risk—because even a pizza can change the game.

#BitcoinPizzaDay #BinanceSquare #LearnAndDiscuss

🍕 Bitcoin Pizza Day: Then vs. Now 🍕
🗓️ 2010: 10,000 BTC = 2 pizzas
💸 2025: 10,000 BTC = a private island, a Lambo garage, and generational wealth 💰

⚠️ Back then? Early adoption = risky.
🔥 Today? Crypto is just getting started.

🔮 In 10 years:
🛒 Everyday spending in crypto
🏪 BTC as a real currency, not just digital gold
📲 Instant payments. Borderless. Permissionless.

💭 Would you ever spend 10,000 BTC today?
Or will we only use sats when Bitcoin becomes the new Visa?

Crypto Journey Part 7 🚀 | All-In on Alpha Points

As of today, I’ve already collected 142 #AlphaPoints — and I’m consistently farming around 16 points per day.

📎 My full guide on how I farm Alpha Points is available via the link AlphaPoints strategy — check it out if you’re just starting.

In my honest opinion:
✅ It’s worth both the time and money right now.

Why?

Because every week, there’s a new opportunity —
Unlike some testnets or retrodrops where I waited months just to receive nothing or $5, Alpha Points campaigns are actually paying off.

For example:

💰 Weekly airdrops via #BinanceAlphaPoints can range anywhere from $100 to $700 — and that’s a game-changer compared to:

❌ Testnets where you grind for half a year to get $20
❌ Overhyped retrodrops everyone’s doing but barely anyone is rewarded
❌ Mainnets where being early doesn’t guarantee anything

That’s why right now, my main focus is Alpha Points — and I’m doubling down.

But I’m also staying active elsewhere:

🧪 Testing Monad testnet
🌉 Interacting regularly with Stargate Bridge to possibly qualify for the $ZRO airdrop
⚡ Farming SuperStacks XP on the Optimism ecosystem
⏳ Tracking potential drops from projects like Eclipse, Solana L2s, and others

This time, I’m more strategic — chasing high-effort = high-reward projects instead of doing what “everyone else is doing.”

⸻

👉 In Part 8, I’ll break down my strategies, what I avoid, and how I decide which campaigns are worth grinding — plus, I’ll share my current portfolio strategy while farming airdrops.

Crypto Journey Part 2 🚀 | How It Really Started

If you haven’t read the first part yet, you can find it on my profile 🧷 or tap this link 🔗 Crypto Joirney Part 1

Let’s rewind to summer 2021 — I was getting more and more curious about the world of crypto. I wanted to invest, but life was moving fast…

🏝 I was on vacation

🏢 Looking for a new company

🏠 Bought my first apartment

🚗 Got my first Porsche (yes, really)

💸 And most of my money? Locked in Bonds

By the time I got home on June 1st, 2021, I already had an offer to join the next ship on July 10th. I had neither the time nor the liquidity to jump into crypto right away.

But finally — in September 2021 — I returned home, and that’s when it all began.

📲 I registered on #Binance and made my first deposit: $3,000

Crypto was everywhere that year. Everyone was talking about Bitcoin, and one of my friends helped me get started. I bought my first coins without knowing anything about charts, trends, or market psychology.

Back then, my favorite token was #GALA — not because of the fundamentals, but because it sounded like my grandma’s name: Galina. Everyone used to call her “Gala” ❤️

At that time, I barely knew what I was doing — I just figured out how to deposit fiat, buy, and sell. 😅

Here’s a snapshot of my balance from back then (attached 📸).

My early portfolio included coins like:

💰 $TWT

💎 $ETH

🌊 $ADA

⚡️ $XRP

…and whatever was trending on #CoinMarketCap.

I was mainly testing how everything worked. I even started paying bills in crypto — like at restaurants — just to see if I could actually use it.

By October 2021, I had spent my entire balance and simply started observing the market instead.

From October 2021 to November 2022, I wasn’t holding any coins — but I kept reading, watching, learning every single day.
Then something changed…

Recent technical analyses indicate a strong bullish momentum for ETH. The price has surged past key resistance levels, with significant trading volumes supporting the upward trend . The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently in the overbought territory, suggesting that while the asset is experiencing strong buying pressure, a short-term consolidation or minor pullback could occur before further upward movement . 

Looking ahead, if ETH maintains its position above the $2,500 support level, it could target the next resistance zones around $2,750 to $2,900. However, failure to hold above $2,500 might lead to a retest of lower support levels near $2,250 . 

Overall, the medium-term outlook for Ethereum remains positive, with potential for further gains if current market conditions persist.

$ETH

What would you prefer for your stables?

USDC (USD Coin) is a popular stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the U.S. dollar, designed to combine the reliability of fiat with the speed of crypto. It’s fully backed by cash and short-term U.S. government bonds, and regularly audited—offering transparency and trust. One of the biggest pros of USDC is its price stability, making it ideal for payments, remittances, and DeFi transactions without the wild volatility of traditional cryptocurrencies. It’s also fast, borderless, and cost-effective, especially compared to wire transfers or traditional banking systems.

However, USDC isn’t without its downsides. While it’s decentralized in use, it’s issued by a centralized entity, which means it can be frozen or blacklisted under certain conditions. Also, holding USDC doesn’t yield interest unless staked or deposited into a lending platform. Still, as a bridge between the fiat and crypto worlds, USDC remains a trusted and widely used stablecoin in the growing digital economy.

$USDC

Ethereum is undergoing significant enhancements in 2025 to bolster its security and scalability. The Pectra upgrade introduces features like social recovery for wallets and Verkle Trees for efficient data storage, aiming to improve user experience and network performance . Additionally, the Dencun upgrade incorporates proto-danksharding, a method to increase transaction throughput and reduce fees, further strengthening the network’s resilience .  

To ensure the robustness of smart contracts, Ethereum emphasizes regular security audits and testing, identifying vulnerabilities before they can be exploited . The transition to Proof-of-Stake (PoS) has also enhanced network security by introducing slashing mechanisms that penalize malicious validators, thereby maintaining the integrity of the blockchain .  

These initiatives reflect Ethereum’s commitment to creating a secure and scalable environment for decentralized applications, ensuring trust and reliability for its global user base .

Mastercard is stepping into the future of finance with its new stablecoin-linked cards, bridging the gap between traditional banking and digital assets. These innovative cards allow users to spend stablecoins like USDC directly from their crypto wallets, just like regular money. The key here is stability—unlike volatile cryptocurrencies, stablecoins are pegged to fiat currencies, making everyday purchases smoother and more predictable. Mastercard’s move shows growing trust in blockchain technology and marks a big step toward mainstream crypto adoption. With real-time settlements and blockchain transparency, users gain more control, speed, and global flexibility. Whether you’re buying coffee or booking flights, these cards make using digital assets as easy as swiping a debit card. It’s a sign of how the financial world is evolving—faster, smarter, and more open. Mastercard’s stablecoin cards are more than just a payment method; they’re a glimpse into the future of money that’s already becoming today’s reality.
