I am a homemaker previously a journalist cum public relations officer. People used to tease me when I resigned from my job and took to farming after marrying a farmer.

Well, life has taught me a lot and on top of the list is humility. I have seen both highs and lows. After having crash-landed in my life, I learned to be extra careful in all dealings. This is what helped me when I started to learn how to trade in crypto.

After joining the blockchain and earning from what I wrote here, I joined an Indian exchange called Koinex which has been shut down hence and emailed the founders to just let me allow my earnings as Indian rupees, lol. They replied to me and even went to the trouble of teaching me how to do a trade.

After that, I started trading and even made some profit and bought a laptop for my son, purely from the earnings I got from writing and trading.

That is why I wrote the title thus. It gives me a sense of pride when I realize that I did make something of my life, after all.

Remember that whenever you are bullied or put down by someone, pick up your courage and fight on.

The first trade from which I made my profit was from steem and sbd to Ethereum and BCH. To my luck, Ethereum shot up in price. When I used @blocktrades to convert my sbd TO Eth, it was around 16k. It then shot to 34k and gave me a good profit.

Later on, I also joined bitshares and when koinex shutdown, I transferred all my coins and then back to the blockchain.

A few years have passed since then but it feels like an eternity and now thanks to Hive Engine, I need not panic even if an exchange is about to shut down.

The beautiful friends I made on the @bdcommunity and the Neoxian server have helped me become a better trader. Thanks to Bala, I also learned how to withdraw my earnings too.

My hope is that more people start accepting crypto and that it will make the governments see the need to adopt crypto.

Why did I provide a screenshot of my txn? It is to show that whatever we do on the blockchain is recorded and not hidden.

Do you think you have become a better trader?

I definitely do think that I have learned much more than I knew before.

What made you realize that you could have done better?

Crypto does have risks and most of the time, I played safe by investing only in the top coins which had a guarantee. I could have traded in some low-value coins and profited more.

I can now say that I can invest much more than what I previously did. So, playing risky is quite okay as of now but I am a 'safe player' kind of gal. Hope I surprise myself as the year progresses.

I invite my friends @mango-juice and @bala41288 to write about their experiences as traders.
