I downloaded the @CelsiusNetwork app in Oct 2018.

As the community has grown and I hit this milestone of over $12k in earned interest passive income (all 100% from the app), I thought it might be interesting for some if I shared my story.

Thread 👇. . .

Firstly I don't think there is anything extra special about me. I got into crypto in 2017, made a shitload, got rekt, and started over.

I dedicated myself to blockchain adoption. At a conference in 2018, I ran into Mashinsky and saw (likely one of the earliest) presentations...

on MOIP and crypto passive income. @AlexMashinsky was patient enough to answer lots of my questions afterward (a quality which he has clearly kept, perhaps always had), and I hit the download button.

I was quite skeptical at first, after all we have all been conditioned to expect <1% in interest for the "service" of holding our assets...

I started out small, my first deposit was a small percentage of what I had left to build with.

I Started earning interest, saved more, deposited more, earned more, reinvested.

I was living the Flywheel - it was working.

I broke up with my bank entirely, it had become painfully obvious they were not serving my interests.

In the depths on the bear market I invested heavily of what I had into CEL - I had finally found a project that was here for the right reasons - one that I believed in and knew was offering real value to people (even back in 2018) with so much more to come.

It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. My passive income through this app is now enough to sustain most of my expenses.

It's like having @AndrewYang's plan for UBI just for me.

I can also move and manage my assets nearly instantly, without ever paying a fee.

With the team continuing to grow and execute, I remain so excited for what's to come for @CelsiusNetwork.

I hope my story inspires some to take the leap and start the journey to financial freedom - the fact is it has never been more attainable, or more urgent, than it is today.

S/O to the team @LeahNJonas @tbentov21 @naitrar @waseemshabout @Zach_HODL_ON (obv can't tag everyone because I haven't met all of you yet!)

Thanks for what you do and your dedication to this mission. We still have a long way to go to make this a reality for so many who need it.
