How My Crypto Journey Began

Hello, allow me to introduce myself.  I have the alias HarrEGC within my crypto communities, allow me to tell you my story.

During the summer of 2021, I downloaded an investment app on my smartphone and created my first brokerage account.  What incentivized me on doing this was a campfire conversation with a group of friends. 

After collecting a small sign-up bonus from making my first deposit, I notice cryptocurrency trading was supported.

Naturally, I Bought Some Shiba Inu

I really liked seeing so much community engagement about the SHIB token, WOW!  The excitement within the chat section was very entertaining, especially as I flipped between moonshot social posts and my small Shib holdings going up in value.

Over time, I used PancakeSwap to accumulate a variety of altcoins offering passive income through trade volume and external revenue.

Some of the other notable altcoins I hold in my portfolio include:

Diversifying Into Auto-Staking NFTs

Building a passive income portfolio with DeFi cryptocurrencies became very enjoyable to me.

The next phase for diversifying my holdings was when I discovered the Gro Bat auto-staking NFTs.

I created my first website in 2004, bought my first cryptocurrency in 2016, minted my first NFT in 2022, and have a complete NFT collection ready to be released and going live in 2023. I write about cryptocurrency, decentralized finance, non-fungible tokens, and...
