"From Curiosity to Confidence: Arjun’s Crypto Journey"
In early 2021, Arjun Mehta, a 28-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, stumbled across a YouTube video titled “How I Made $10,000 in Crypto in 6 Months.” At first, he was skeptical — it sounded like one of those get-rich-quick schemes. But curiosity got the better of him.
He’d heard of Bitcoin, of course — who hadn’t? — but he’d never invested in anything beyond a fixed deposit. That weekend, he decided to dig deeper.
After two weeks of late-night research, Reddit deep dives, and watching tutorials, Arjun decided to take the plunge. He opened an account on Binance, drawn by its user-friendly interface and wide range of coins. With ₹10,000 (~$135 at the time), he made his first-ever crypto purchase: 0.0012 BTC.
Learning the Ropes
Arjun treated his early investments like tuition fees. He didn’t expect to get rich — he wanted to learn.
He started using Binance’s Learn & Earn section, watched tutorials, and practiced spot trading with small amounts. Within two months, he diversified into ETH, BNB, and ADA. He was fascinated by how each coin had its own use case and community.
But the real lessons came during the May 2021 crash.
Arjun saw his ₹10,000 grow to ₹28,000… and then drop to ₹6,000 in a matter of days.
The Wake-Up Call
Panic set in. He considered selling everything and calling it quits.
But instead of giving up, Arjun paused — and began tracking his trades more carefully.he stopped blindly following Twitter “influencers,” and joined a local Telegram group focused on Indian crypto users.
Turning Point
By late 2022, Arjun wasn’t just trading — he was teaching.
By 2024, his portfolio had grown steadily, but more importantly, his confidence and knowledge had compounded. He wasn't chasing pumps anymore — he was building something.
