Hey everyone, just wanted to share a bit of my story and see if anyone here has experienced something similar.

A while back, my father passed away, and he had a small debt with a telecommunications company. Somehow, I ended up inheriting that debt, and instead of sorting it out fairly, my funds were taken from my bank accounts without warning—not just once, but on multiple occasions. It felt like they treated me as if I’d done something illegal, which is crazy and so unfair. I don’t trust banks anymore.

For a long time, I didn’t know what to do. I tried keeping money I earned in cash at home under the mattress, but that turned out to be a terrible idea because, well… I spent it way faster than I realized.

This last October, I finally decided to take the orange pill and started buying sats. Honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me. My small investment has grown about 30%, which feels like a win after everything. And helped my confidence. I should have done this before, I have FOMO thoughts of when BTC hit 16k, I have known about it for years.

Right now, I feel much better about myself and my life. And I am working towards a goal of stacking at least 0.01 BTC, and I’m making it my New Year’s resolution.

Someday, I’d love to get to 1 BTC and truly feel financially free, and don’t have to depend on anyone, but myself.

Has anyone here gone through something similar with debts or losing funds unfairly? And has bitcoin helped you like it’s starting to help me? How can I earn more sats online?

Also, does anyone know of a good debit or credit card that works well with Bitcoin? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Let me know I’m really curious to learn from your experiences.

I’m writing this post to manifest, maybe get some sats, and to wish everyone in SN a happy new year 2025!
