Who got you into crypto?

Hi guys,

Curious about who or what alerted you to cryptocurrency, and why you are still in it? How have your interests changed as you learned more about it? Do you still have similar goals (probably in making money) to when you first started?

For me, I had a friend who tried to explain Ethereum to me around May 2021 and I began researching it on my own. Shortly after that, a different friend was amazed that someone he knew had made a lot of money on Dogecoin and told me about when he bought and sold. Not ever having invested in something before, this was all completely new to me and frankly a bit overwhelming. But like you, I am still here and accumulating.

It seems to me that many are attracted to the idea of making a quick buck but may then also gravitate towards researching the tech and investing in projects that look promising or already have a big following. What are your thoughts?
