MY PERSONAL JOURNEY WITH & WITHOUT CRYPTO
So far, 2020 has been quite a year.
I think we can all agree on that.
Nobody would have expected anything like this where we are now.
For me, it was life changing so far in many ways.

I have always been an over-thinker & sometimes that is exhausting, for myself and/or for the people around me.
With the crash in March this year, my own compass started to recalibrate & my overthinking nature took over quite aggressively in the beginning of this pandemic.

...be much bigger than anyone can imagine.
Socially & economically.
My journey in crypto and here on CT started back in the beginning of 2017.
For around 2-2.5 years I was just an observer behind an avatar (Crypto Specter for those who can remember).

...tough onwards and that I should even consider to go full-time crypto. I had some savings and therefore I felt kind of okay taking that step.
After a while, I started to notice more & more how the community on CT is very helpful and lovely, yet, also toxic and negative.

I also noticed, that the most toxic behaviour came from accounts without their real face/identity at stake.
After some talk with a good friend who is quite big on CT, I decided to drop the mask & become fully transparent.
I am not saying that all the avatars are toxic...

...but the majority of toxicity comes from hidden characters in this space.
In order to not affiliate with such behaviour anymore, Crypto Specter had to go.
It was the right step to take for me, I realised that quickly.

Shortly after, 'The Trading Tramp' was born and the website/blog was launched too.
I created it because I wanted to share my thoughts in a different way with no character limitation ( I just realised that this is going to be quite a thread lol).

Writing is something I enjoy a lot, yet my personal life and struggles with myself kept me from being consistent with it.
It's all just managing time correctly and that was never something I would give myself awards for.

...that was a tough time.
Therefore, after they re-opened the borders, I booked a flight to Berlin in order to meet a friend & spend some re-socialising time there.
He is also in the blockchain space which lead to some new topics & opportunities.
I went on to Budapest..

Now, back in Spain, I know that there are going to be some challenging times ahead again.

...really bad here in Mallorca where I live currently.
75-80% unemployment and nothing will change that any time soon since this place is depended on tourism which got killed almost fully due to the pandemic.
Part of my family is here as well and I can see...

Now, why on earth am I even telling you all of this?
Well, I believe it is important to realise how lucky we all are in this crypto environment and that during this time of so much suffering and uncertainty...

...appreciation and gratefulness is needed.
For me, this means that I will be focusing on more than just TA from here on.
It seems that there will be a bigger project which I most likely will become part of and actually will work on to help it grow in this space.

No, that doesn't mean that I will be shilling the hell out of it, yet, it is a project I believe deserves way more attention and has actually fundamentally something to offer which is needed and not just a cash grab aka a hype such as yield farming and DeFi.

I am all about making money and helping people to do the same, nevertheless, for my own personal satisfaction, I need and want a bit more than just sharing my own TA views.
That being said, TA is still one of my favourite things to do and the reason why I am part of...

...he liked my content.
He is probably one of the most hardworking people I know in this space and I want to thank you Mich for being such a down to earth and cool dude, with whom I can exchange way more than just TA at the end of the day.

And yes, his trading group is next level. I have seen quite a few other groups in the past and honestly don't understand how some of them are actually still around.
Anyway, to get to an end, I wanna say, I love this space and I appreciate the opportunities...

...which can come with it.
The next weeks will be a new chapter for me & in order to make the most out of it personally and as a CT individual, certain lifestyle changes have to come with it as well.
Thanks for reading & following me during these crazy times
