I remember staring at my phone, heart pounding, as I transferred $153 into something called STEEM. My friends were mocking me. “You bought internet coins
 to write blog posts?” they laughed. I couldn’t even explain it properly. All I knew was I was tired of watching my salary disappear in bills and wanted out of the loop.

The first few weeks were brutal. I posted daily on Steemit, hoping someone anyone would upvote me. Made $0.17 on my first article. $0.04 on my second. I felt like quitting, but something told me to keep going. Every night I’d study the blockchain like it was scripture. I didn’t know it then, but this obsession was going to change my life.

Then it happened. I hit my first $5 post. It sounds small now, but back then, I ran outside and screamed. That was the moment I stopped calling it “a side hobby.” I began calling it my way out.

Everyone starts somewhere. Mine just h#appened to start with $153
 and a bit of blind faith.
