Congratulations for your achievement and for not giving up when you were losing money in bitcoin. I am happy you are independent and also able to make ends meet with bitcoin. I assume that you have studied and mastered the market over your years of loses and that is why you are able to make money even in the bear market.
Do you trade future?

I don't know the country you live, if $100 can do many things in this era of recession. I will advice you double your efforts and try to earn more because $100 may not be as enough as you think.

It is good to hear about your achievement, but starting to achieve income or profit does not mean that you have become financially independent.
Earning money from trading is the first step, and then you need to double that money to reach a time when you have enough money to pay your expenses for a year, two or three, which cannot be achieved with $300 anywhere in the world.

You have taken the first step and there is a lot waiting for you.

I won't lie, crypto has given me independence and changed my life. Though I lost money trading, I did earn a decent amount of cryptocurrency from other sources such as campaigns and marketing. Some holdings performed well, while others disappointed me. However, the overall position in cryptocurrency is good. You just have to be cautious and learn a lot if you want to make money in the crypto space. Because there are a lot of shit tokens around us and a lot of scammers seeking into our funds. It is becoming extremely difficult to earn cryptocurrency on a frequent basis.

Because cryptocurrency gives you financial freedom and can also be a source of income, even though sometimes it sucks from the loss that has been obtained, but that doesn't matter, in fact, you have gotten out of your parents' grip financially and can be independent.
If you improve again in the future in this forum you can make extra money from signature campaigns then it is very important for skills not only in this forum out there there are still many ways to make money in crypto you will definitely be able to do this.

Overall even though I am a worker and also run a small business but the income from crypto is still flowing this is in addition especially in 2017 and 2021 is bullish which is true they will definitely benefit greatly from it, there I can build a small palace for my family.

Never be afraid when there are bearish market conditions, there are times when we can enjoy bullish again, but what is certain is that we are active in running to earn money in cryptocurrency.

@OP, congratulation in finding Bitcoin to help you with your finances.  Bitcoin indeed helps a lot of people gain some financial independence.  I also know a person that was greatly helped by Bitcoin during his college days.  He is now a successful teacher working abroad.  His engagement in Bitcoin made him finance himself in college until he graduated last year.  His earnings from marketing and trading enable him to finance his requirements to go abroad and work there.  If I am not mistaken, he is currently working in UAE but despite the job, he is still active in Bitcoin trading.

The Bitcoin industry indeed gives opportunities to those who seek it.  There is no doubt that lots of us in this forum is aware of the great potential engaging ourselves to Bitcoin ecosystem.

I know you're talking about earning your own money, and therefore don't require any help any more. Although, I think the important thing to highlight here is you've taken a step of actually owning your money, and not relying on third parties. The only thing about that, is the image you posted above an exchange or a wallet? I assume, it's an exchange, as long as you aren't storing your Bitcoin without owning the private key, and definitely don't share that private key with a third party.

However, I'm sure a lot of users here have found financial independence through Bitcoin, it provides opportunities that the traditional fiat system doesn't provide or at least there's less competition for offering services, which will eventually change.

I have a similar story, but all thanks to the force that would allow us give up, and speaking of that force, i personally would have given up on bitcoin and cryptocurrencies when I encountered my scam which made me loose every bit of penny I had then, but what kept me going was the hunger to do something different and the little fire the knowledge of bitcoin ignited in me.. Even though I lost my money, I still had this man in me that hungered to know more about this bitcoin of a thing - this was how I continued and today, I am glad I did not give up, bitcoin have given me a new kind of life and have provided opportunities for me in places where I never did thought I would find such opportunities.
All thanks to the genius in Satoshi Nakamoto, for giving the world a new kind of light and hope to many that would have today been hopeless.

The power of crypto and the reward of being persistent, never give up. Am glad to see you earning through crypto, achieving your goals slowly and most importantly becoming financially independent. I think majority of us can also relate to this story. Keep striving bro.

That’s a great start, congratulations. We can always benefit from crypto as long as we never think of quitting just because of initial losses. Of course, losing is inevitable in trading but that won’t mean that we will always keep on losing, we will gain rewards eventually after we finally learn how to be good traders. Just keep the momentum. Although the profits are not that big, but the fact that you keep on honing your trading skills, you will do great in the future. Break a leg!

Nowadays very few start from the scratch whereas the majority invest big and try to make the best out of it. This is highly risky, but here OP have experienced from the scratch and the same will serve as a big learning for him to take right decisions with cryptocurrency. Based on what he have added to the thread, since his loss years back he believed in it and have worked on it. Finally success is being tasted. Believe in bitcoin and it won't let you down.
