My first exposure to crypto was back when bitcoin was selling for 5 dollars. I saw some taxi company in Vilnius accepting bitcoin and became intrigued and googled how to buy bitcoin. It turned out to be exceedingly difficult and I gave up.

In the summer of 2017 the guest on Tim Ferriss podcast explained cryptocurrencies and I felt the tipping point was coming close. But I didn't take the plunge until I read about crypto recommendations in James Altucher's newsletter who forecasted that there is a good chance that Amazon will start accepting crypto as early as September 25, 2017. This was obviously part of the big FOMO campaign. Then I found the Bad Crypto Podcast and stayed with them ever since. I came to Steem a year ago after reading about it in the post by @stellabelle on Medium.
