I will skip the early childhood but the one important point is that my parents parted ways when I was only 3 years old. From then on, I saw two completely different sides of life.
My dad, who manages his own company and has no time 24/7/365, but a lot of money.
My mom, who has a “normal” job and time for me, but struggles with money for years.
When you grow up like this, you get a lot of insights how it could be when you’re older. So what do you do?
→ Go for the highest education possible (university) and potentially end up with a lot of money?
→ Go find a job as early as possible and make a basic income with potentially working your way up the career ladder?
In school, I didn’t like the system where you just learn something for tests and exams which you will never need again after that. I wasn’t the best student, but it was enough to have a lot of options after being 13 years in school.
I always liked the idea of making a good amount of money, since I saw the struggles my mom has gone through all my life. So I decided it would be best to go to university to study, so I can also help her financially one day.
Little did I know that university wouldn’t fit me at all. I realised very early, that this isn’t what I want to do for the next 3+ years.
Shortly after, at 19 years old during 2017, I remembered that I once heard about that relatively new thing, called Bitcoin. So I looked it up. The price that time was something around $4,500 and I thought like ‘wow, first time I saw that thing it was only a few hundred bucks!’.
Pretty quickly, I just randomly threw in some money I had saved, not much at that time. Over the next few weeks, BTC crushed through the roof, ending up at the old all time high of $20,000 in December of 2017.
Did I take profits? Hell nah. Did I get rekt? Oh yes. I held my small stack of Bitcoin all the way down to the crash in March 2020.
In the meantime, I took the time to learn more about cryptocurrencies and blockchain in general. I quickly found out that this is the most interesting thing I’ve ever encountered in my life.
So going forward, after going to university for a lot more months and NOT enjoying it at all, I quit. I set my life back to ZERO.
What now? I did a small job so I was able to pay for stuff myself. It was not much, but honest work, no bs. All the money I had at that time (certainly not a crazy amount), went into crypto during the mentioned March 2020 crash, nothing left, all in crypto, since I realised the potential that this space had to offer and still has. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life.
In May 2020, i thought fck it and started my page on the other platform (algorithm doesn’t like the name), without having any experience or expectations.
→ The pseudonym ‘cryptogelix’ was born.
I kept showing up every day, no excuses. I saw my page rising quickly during the last bullrun in 2020 and 2021, with eventually reaching a peak of around 65,000 followers back then. I couldn’t believe it.
Suddenly people called me influencer, asked me for advice or even looked up to me. I don’t see myself as influential as some may think. I’m one of you, I’m just a random guy who has found his passion in crypto and blockchain, combined with social media.
On my way, I got to know a few people in this space who also helped me a lot to grow. Special thanks to my early “social media mentors” and friends @CryptoNagato @crypto0mega. I will forever be grateful for what you’ve done for me.
