I’ve been in crypto since 2017. Back then, I didn’t have capital or connections — just curiosity and a quiet belief that something better was possible.
The road wasn’t 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. 🟡
In 2023, something small — and strange — 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. “It’s a lucky stone,” she said. I gave it to her. From that day on, we called it our “Builder Stone.” 🪨
It became a little ritual. I’d work, study AI, join Binance AMAs, fill out forms with care, and she’d keep the stone on the windowsill as a quiet reminder that belief creates momentum.
Then, before the end of the year — 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 “Builder Stone.” 🎄💼
My mom looked at both and said: “See? Effort returns. You just needed to keep showing up.”
That suitcase wasn’t just merch.
It was proof.
Proof that after 6 years in crypto, of learning, trying, and building — something real came back. Not in dollars. In motivation. In momentum. In meaning.
Since then, I’ve 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 — and remember where it started. 🖤
Crypto didn’t just change my wallet. It changed my mindset.
Binance wasn’t just an exchange. It became my companion in growth. 🧠
Real People. Real Crypto. Real Stories.
Ours is built on a Baltic breeze, a bit of faith, and a yellow suitcase full of dreams. 💫
