Today, as Bitcoin reaches $91,000, I can’t help but reflect on the journey that brought me into the world of cryptocurrency. It all began in 2017, during my final months in Germany before returning to Vietnam.
It was a quiet evening when I stumbled upon a TED Talk by Don Tapscott titled “How the Blockchain Is Changing Money and Business”. That single video felt like an open door to a realm I had never explored before. The concepts of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Ethereum completely fascinated me.
My curiosity quickly turned into a deep dive into the crypto space. I spent countless hours reading about blockchain, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, exploring how they worked and the vision behind them. The more I learned, the more excited I became. I couldn’t keep this discovery to myself—I shared it enthusiastically with friends, discussing the possibilities and imagining what the future could hold.
With every new insight, I felt a growing urge to act. By the end of 2017, I made a decision that would mark the beginning of my crypto journey: I invested nearly all my savings into cryptocurrency, focusing mainly on Ethereum. It felt risky at the time, but it also felt like a step toward being part of something transformative.
Looking back, that decision was not just about the potential financial return. It was about being a part of the technological revolution that blockchain promised. Today, as the world witnesses Bitcoin’s historic rise, I’m reminded of those early days—days filled with excitement, curiosity, and a leap of faith.
Crypto has taught me much more than just market dynamics. It’s shown me the value of innovation, the power of decentralized systems, and the importance of understanding money—not just as a currency but as a tool for shaping the future.
