Remember your first day stepping into crypto? That initial spark—maybe you were chasing quick gains, dreaming about financial freedom, or just curious about this whole blockchain thing everyone kept buzzing about.
Fast forward to now. Your portfolio's been through bull runs and bear winters. You've seen projects moon and others rug. Goals that seemed crystal clear back then? Probably look completely different today.
Some folks came for the gains, stayed for the tech. Others came for decentralization, got humbled by volatility. Maybe you started with moonshot altcoins and now you're all about Bitcoin maximalism. Or vice versa.
The journey shapes you differently than you expected. What drove you then versus what keeps you here now—that gap tells your whole crypto story.
So what's your version? Has your why completely flipped, or are you still grinding toward that same original vision?

To be honest, I initially jumped in for a quick fortune with meme coins, but now I just want to hold Bitcoin properly... It's a bit ironic.

I came in just to make quick money, but now I truly believe in Bitcoin... People really can change.

Honestly, I originally just wanted to get rich quickly, and I still want to get rich quickly now; I haven't changed.

Haha, I really got wrecked in that wave of 2017. Now I'm holding onto BTC tightly, not letting go.

Haha, I'm that kind of person who comes to make quick money and ends up being educated to become a Bitcoin believer.
