The Real Reason I’m in Crypto (And Why I’ll Never Quit)

in #blog15 days ago

Sometimes I ask myself, “Why am I still doing this?”

Writing blog posts. Earning small amounts of crypto. Teaching others.

It’s not always easy. Some days it feels slow. Sometimes I want to quit.

But then I remember why I started.

🌍 I Come From a Place Where the System Is Broken
Banks don’t serve us.
Jobs don’t pay enough.
Governments don’t care.
Prices keep rising — but our hope keeps shrinking.

Crypto showed me there’s another way.

🧠 I Wanted to Learn Something Real
I didn’t want to spend my life stuck in a loop.
I wanted to learn something that:

Gives me power

Opens doors

Helps others

Builds a future

Crypto gave me that path. It challenged me. It grew me.

💰 I Wanted Control Over My Own Money
No more begging banks.
No more waiting 5 days to receive $50.
No more worrying if someone would freeze my account.

With crypto, I own it.
Even $5 in Bitcoin in my own wallet feels better than $50 in a shady bank.

✍️ I Wanted to Be Heard
Nobody gave me a platform.
So I built one.
I started blogging. Sharing. Teaching.
And people started listening.

Crypto gave me a voice — and that voice gave me purpose.

🔥 I Want to Help People Like Me
People who:

Feel lost

Feel forgotten

Feel like the system was never made for them

Crypto is not just for rich tech bros in Silicon Valley.
It’s for the Caribbean.
It’s for Africa.
It’s for Latin America.
It’s for us — the ones who always had to fight twice as hard.

✊ Final Words
I don’t do this for likes.
I don’t do it to look smart.
I do it because this matters.

Crypto is not perfect.
But it’s a chance.
And for people like me — one chance is all we need.

Follow @andytherbg.
I’m not quitting. I’m building. For me. For you. For all of us who were never supposed to win.
