Cryptocurrency Experience
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I ventured into the cryptocurrency space, gaining hands-on experience in digital asset management and trading. My first coin was Litecoin (LTC), which I used to start interacting with the crypto market.
My first wallets included: Luno, Roqqu, Trust Wallet
I later expanded to other platforms and exchanges, including: Bybit, Binance, MEXC and several others
Through this journey, I also encountered scam platforms, including LTC Miner, Betchfund, Geld, and others, which helped me develop a keen eye for security, due diligence, and risk management in the crypto space.
The crypto world is dynamic, and life is up and down in this space—sometimes I gain, sometimes I experience losses. This journey helped me develop a strong understanding of blockchain technology, trading strategies, risk management, and digital financial systems.
