When, why & how did you get into crypto?

I remember back in 2012, when Bitcoin was around 13$, my economics teacher was talking about the worldwide currencies.

At a certain point, the crypto topic came up. Of course, back then it was somewhat new. Anyway, some nerd from my class was having an argument with the teacher, saying that there was a chance BTC would have a higher value. The old traditional teacher contradicted my noodle eating classmate, saying that BTC would never get past 13-15$ in the real world.

If only she told us that it had a lot of potential, I would probably not be sitting here wearing my dragonball shorts, typing this post. Of that I'm sure.

Conclusion: I'm broke because of the teacher, and got into crypto because I'm an addicted gambler who plays with rent money.
