Tell me the main reason why you got into Crypto!
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>In August 2020 I got hit by a major burn-out. I was leading a team of developers and salespeople and we were launching a SaaS product. Suddenly due to the pandemic, our funding got pulled, and we were dead in the water. It was devastating to me, even more than I initially let on. But just before a meeting where we were deciding what to do next, I crashed, I suddenly could not talk to people I knew and trusted, without breaking down crying. I was subsequently relieved of my position, and shortly thereafter the project went belly up. I fell into a deep depression, disconnected from my family and the world. I became a zombie fighting panic attacks and dark thoughts about the continuation of my life. In December my wife told me that I should get a hobby. Me not ever being the “hobby” kind of guy, I was very sceptical. She then suggested Crypto, I knew very little about Crypto and honestly believed it all was a scam. I then started reading white papers, so many white papers…. Later I found this subreddit, I started buying my first coins, I found a sense of belonging in this Crypto Community…. So six months later, I am still dealing with panic attacks, but I’ve found new work, and I love being on here, with you awesome people. </p> <p>So that’s how I ended up in the crypto-verse, how did you get here?</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted by <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Matteustheone"> /u/Matteustheone </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oplddi/tell_me_the_main_reason_why_you_got_into_crypto/">[link]</a></span> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/oplddi/tell_me_the_main_reason_why_you_got_into_crypto/">[comments]</a></span>Kind Regards R
