Bitcoin pushed my Net Worth Up

I will not tell the story of my life but a few years ago a tragedy forced me to immigrate to a new country. I sold all my belongings, including my apartment, and went all-in in the only asset I was sure I could carry everywhere without anyone bothering me about it.

Now I am living in a developped country but work a low-end job. I passed through the last bear market 70% down. I did not sell any bitcoin. I tightened my belt and bought a little bit more.

Since this year's price increase I looked up how my Net Worth compares. The wikipedia article lead me to this report. I found out that my Net Worth puts me at least in the top 25% of my country, top 10% for my age group.

It makes me emotional: All my life I've been punished for working hard and rewarded for keeping low profile. I've been the family's scapegoat, a broke student, stuck in a souless corporate job, and a struggling immigrant. It's the first time in my life I have actual wealth that belongs to me and only me.

Thank you Bitcoin.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
