What kept you from getting into cryoto?

For me it was a few things.

In 2012, (when I was 13) I told my mom about Bitcoin, that I thought it was a cool idea, and that I thought she should buy some. She wasn't really interested, and didn't trust it lol. So I saved up some money, around $100 that I earned from washing my neighbor's semi truck so I could buy some for myself. Unfortunately my parents wouldn't allow me to, and I had no other way of making a transaction online without their permission.

After turning 18 the new stress of rent, life, and bills kept me from making any investments, but I always tried to keep up with what was going on with crypto currencies.

Fast forward to last week, I'm making more money than I ever have and I finally have some extra lying around, not much, but I can finally afford to make my first investment. I decided to buy $100 worth of ETH. Today I bought some more, as well as some BTC. It feels to good to finally own some crypto! I have so much more to learn and I'm really excited to see what comes next.

Thanks for reading! Anyways, what was it that kept you from getting into crypto?
