What was your entry point into crypto? 👀

I'm curious when everyone here actually started diving into the space. Was it a specific market moment that got you in, or did you stumble into it through a friend's recommendation? Some of us jumped in during the early bull runs, others caught the dips—each story's got its own timeline.

Share your first crypto purchase experience. What was the first token or coin you grabbed, and what made you decide to take that leap?

Haha, I'm the kind of person who was brought in by friends. I still remember in 2017, a brother kept bragging about Bitcoin every day. I really didn't take it seriously at the time, and as a result, I missed out on a wave... Now I regret it to death.

The early investors are probably laughing now... I was introduced by a friend, and I only realized after losing half of my first BTC investment.

My first investment? Don't even mention it. I bought Dogecoin in 2017 when I was out of my mind, and I lost everything, even my pants, haha.

I... bought some BTC while everyone was telling stories, only to realize that I actually didn't see through anything. It's just a cycle, and survivorship bias makes everyone think their entry timing was perfect.

Really, the first time I got in, I was tricked in by a friend haha, and I lost everything on the worthless coins I bought.
