Iโve been in crypto since 2017. Back then, I didnโt have capital or connections โ just curiosity and a quiet belief that something better was possible.
The road wasnโt always easy. I made mistakes, held through volatility, lost time chasing hype. But I stayed. Because even when the markets dipped, the mission of crypto still made sense to me: freedom, fairness, opportunity. ๐ก
In 2023, something small โ and strange โ happened.
While walking along the Baltic Sea, I found a black stone with a natural white pattern that looked exactly like the Binance logo. I showed it to my mom and she smiled. โItโs a lucky stone,โ she said. I gave it to her. From that day on, we called it our โBuilder Stone.โ ๐ชจ
It became a little ritual. Iโd work, study AI, join Binance AMAs, fill out forms with care, and sheโd keep the stone on the windowsill as a quiet reminder that belief creates momentum.
Then, before the end of the year โ it happened.
I won a giveaway from Binance. A bright yellow suitcase arrived at our door, just days before Christmas. We placed it under our tree, right next to the โBuilder Stone.โ ๐๐ผ
My mom looked at both and said: โSee? Effort returns. You just needed to keep showing up.โ
That suitcase wasnโt just merch.
It was proof.
Proof that after 6 years in crypto, of learning, trying, and building โ something real came back. Not in dollars. In motivation. In momentum. In meaning.
Since then, Iโve kept building.
I now code full-time. I study AI at night.
I help my family. I share what I know with others.
And every time I feel stuck, I look at that little black stone โ and remember where it started. ๐ค
Crypto didnโt just change my wallet. It changed my mindset.
Binance wasnโt just an exchange. It became my companion in growth. ๐ง
Real People. Real Crypto. Real Stories.
Ours is built on a Baltic breeze, a bit of faith, and a yellow suitcase full of dreams. ๐ซ
