Today is a 1-year anniversary since I’ve joined Reddit and took part in this wonderful community that heavily contributed to my current passion in the blockchain technology. This post from a couple of days ago gave me mixed feelings, so I thought maybe it’s interesting to have a conversation about my personal journey in this industry and how I’m currently contributing. Maybe this will motivate others to do the same and pursue a career in something that they’re passionate about.It all started for me in 2016 when I started reading about the blockchain tech and I got hooked right away. I was using darknet with BTC in 2013 but never researched the tech behind it until 3 years later. As someone who intrinsically hates banks (I’m a war refugee, and I’m convinced that banks have a big stake in warfare), decentralization seemed like the only way we could provide a brighter future for ourselves and future generations. I started buying more crypto, mining, and trading but I didn’t feel like I was contributing enough. So, after my graduation in 2017 (in Marketing) I decided that I only want to work for a blockchain company, and after several months it paid off. Although I had no professional experience, my passion for crypto was glowing during the first interview and I got hired on the spot as a Content Creator. A month ago, I started working for my 3rd blockchain company as a Community Manager and I couldn’t be happier. The project is amazing (not an ICO!!!), the position is completely remote, the pay is good and helping people online is hugely rewarding.In conclusion, I’m happy and I wouldn’t be wearing these shoes if it wasn’t for this community, so here is a big thank you to all of you.Thank you for:Guiding me through the dos and don'ts in this chaotic industryHelping me to cope with the great dip of 2018 (still hurts)All the knowledge and updates about existing and new projects that keep me informedThe memes, humor and overall positive sentiments that keep my head up in tough timesFor not giving up on this tech and contributing to the decentralized future that we so greatly needFeel free to AMA if you have questions on how the crypto industry works behind the scenes and/or if you have specific questions related to marketing, community management or working as a digital nomad.Edit: spacing, grammar etc
