My Crypto Journey is a collection of inspirational stories from people personally impacted by crypto. Here’s how a user without a bank account used Binance to elevate his life.

Follow the life of a 23-year-old unbanked economics graduate from Kenya who successfully leveraged his background to tap into financial opportunities that crypto offered.

This is the story of a Binance user who goes by the nickname Chairmankiriago.

How He Started Using Crypto

“Someone mentioned a popular crypto project and how they were able to invest using a small capital for a high return of investment (ROI) – this piqued my interest as I was a student looking for ways to earn some extra income.” – Chairmankiriago, 23

In 2019, word of a crypto project, Shiba Inu, made its way to Chairmankiriago. Curious to explore how crypto could help lessen his financial burdens, he delved into researching this potential income stream. 

An economics graduate, Chairmankiriago put his knowledge to good use as he began to discover crypto, eventually joining the Binance ecosystem. At that time, Chairmankiriago did not have a bank account. Luckily, Binance supported Kenyan mobile payments service M-Pesa as a payment option, which he used to buy his first-ever cryptocurrency.

How Crypto Has Changed His Life 

“Venturing into the crypto space opened my eyes to a world of opportunities – a crypto-rich network, alternative financial services, and potential income streams.”

Services that may not be easily accessible in the traditional financial markets are readily available in the crypto space. Cryptocurrencies can be accessed even by those without bank accounts. Untapped opportunities can be seized without coughing up a large amount of capital. Assets can be fractionalized and gaming items can unlock economic value. 

Soon, Chairmankiriago was able to earn enough money to change his life completely. “Not only have the financial opportunities helped me to fend for myself and pay my bills, it has allowed me to live comfortably,” shared Chairmankiriago.

Chairmankiriago’s Journey With Binance

“The user interface, resources available, and my overall experience have been amazing. I don’t believe there’s an alternative to Binance I would look for right now.”

Through webinars held by Binance East Africa, Chairmankiriago was able to meet both crypto beginners and veterans. Thanks to his newfound network, he quickly learned how to protect himself in the crypto space. Experienced peers taught him how to identify malicious actors while he could stay up to date on security advice through Binance.

As part of our promise to users, Binance also invested resources for the platform to be as safe as technologically possible. Users like Chairmankiriago can also easily access free resources to learn how to enhance security for their Binance accounts and stay alert to common scams in the industry.
