Your beginnings of crypto

Hey guys and gals just wondering what made you guys get into crypto ?

Was it the possibility of financial freedom? Maybe your friends invested in it super early and they tried getting you into it but you were hesitant then eventually caved in and downloaded your first wallet and bought some btc and eth.

Maybe you’re a younger person and you dont think you’ll be able to live the frugal life that you see these influencers living.

Personally I had a friend who got into crypto super early around 2014-15 but at the time he didn’t really know where it was gonna go but seemed interesting to him because he was a super big tech head. I didn’t listen and I waited until maybe 2017 ish time.

But that leads me to my next question what are you guys looking for out of crypto ? Obvs we’re all here looking to make gains financial wise , but I would also love to see crypto take off mainstream.
