Trading btc 7 years ago allowed me to survive

8 years ago I moved away from my parents, went to a low-paying job and to an expensive part-time university. The situation forced me to trade on the dips and rises of bitcoin after receiving my salary, in order to earn all the missing fees (that was, an additional 20% of my salary each month). Every month it was extremy stressful 8 days between reciving salery and paying all charges.

After 1.5 years of living under stress, I got a better job. My situation improved and I was able to regularly save 10% of my paycheck each month.

At that time I didn't want to speculate and trade more, so I have left a small part of btc worth $2500 - because maybe will grow someday, and selling it then won't give me anything.

A few months ago I sold my entire 0.5 btc receiving $60,000 for it. With this and the savings I made past 5 years I bought an apartment.

I know that this is not an inspiring story of sudden wealth, but: - It gave me chance to finish university with Bachelor degree - I have got good job which I like with nice contract - in my first year of trading one night I was crying how the tax low in my country is fuc**d up I start chatting with guy who gave me advice how to make bitcoin income legal - now he is my husband! - I bought with him new flat in the best district of my city - quite big, with 3 small bedrooms (young family friendly!) - because of it we have mortgage for only 5 years (young couples in our county has usually for 30 years for smaller flats)

Thank you Bitcoin, thank you Satoshi!
