Kucoin is celebrating its 5th anniversary this October. As part of the celebrations, it invited to write in its community "Kucoin S" personal history in the crypto sphere and in the exchange. The event ended yesterday and my post was in the 22nd position. Now I share it with you. It is a brief life story that I love to tell every time I can.

There it goes.

One day like any other, giving my business plan class in college, a student from the USA asked me during recess. “Professor, what do you think about Bitcoin?” It was the spring of 2011.

I had only heard of Bitcoin. So, in keeping with my investigative style, and also out of self-love, I told him that I was going to do some research before answering him.

I never imagined that during the following weeks my life would change so profoundly. I found that my ideas about anarchy, inherited from my grandparents at the end of the 19th century, could come to fruition over time thanks to this revolutionary blockchain technology, which basically allows us to coordinate and decentralize ourselves, eliminating bosses, intermediaries, and parasitic institutions. We could finally make a sustainable world without greed and without predators.

All this is based on a student's question and my first contact with Satoshi Nakamoto's Whitepaper.

I started my path mining BTC, when it was easy and romantic to do it, with a computer, and then with an Antminer that I bought secondhand. Then came the pools, and finally the exchanges, and also, sadly, the scam industry.

I am an electronic engineer and I have been programming computers since the end of the 70s when it was still an occult, almost ritual, and shamanic science. But then I went into business, founding a franchise commercial company that does business in 45 countries, which I still chair, though retired and out of the daily battle.

The fundamental cause of my retirement is to have discovered a new world, a world that gave my life a new mission and vision, a world that contains infinite possibilities of liberation and inclusion of all humanity in the value transmission circuit.

As I really like to write (I am the author of 4 business books), I started writing about the possibilities of cryptocurrencies, their role in eliminating intermediaries, and the dangers involved that come from the little experience that individuals have used the free code and to accept the transparency of operations that can be freely consulted in a blockchain.

So I met Publish0x in June 2020. They accepted me as an author and I started writing. I have researched and learned much more in these past two years than I have learned in my entire life.

A little over a year ago, Publish0x made a partnership with KuCoin, and this resulted in the most significant change in my life. From this alliance, authors and readers can withdraw our funds received in Publish0x, towards KuCoin with many advantages.

I had never engaged in trading before. Although I own shares in technology companies, I always considered this as savings. When I first deposited into KuCoin and started getting into the KuCoin ecosystem, I wondered how it could have been so long without me knowing about this world.

I was already operating with some other exchanges like Binance and Coinbase, but none of them had woken up the monster that I had sleeping inside as KuCoin did.

With KuCoin I learned to lend my cryptocurrencies by setting the interest I wanted to earn. I had never known about this possibility before. With KuCoin I learned to program a Trading Bot and I got to know a brilliant strategy that I did not know until now, which is the DCA Trading Bot.

This sparked my interest in trading. Knowing that this is very complicated for someone who is not a professional in the field, I timidly started with small investments, and I felt an indescribable pleasure the day I made my first margin operation. Never before, neither I nor anyone else on the planet could have operated in trading investing very small sums of money as the crypto sphere allows, especially KuCoin. Today I am very excited about the discovery of gems, and I would say that my first hours of the morning are dedicated to analyzing the new KuCoin listings and the performance of what I consider to be gems in the market. I sell and buy every morning. While others are poisoned by the news prepared by the mass media precisely to poison people's mornings, I listen to progressive rock and have fun trading gems. I also write about this on Publish0x.

Just think of this. Until KuCoin started listing potential gems, this business was only in the hands of VCs and big investors who had good contacts in the financial world. Now it is in our hands too. I know that several exchanges are listing gems. But KuCoin saw this business before anyone else, which is why there are more than 700 coins listed on KuCoin.

Basically, I've changed jobs. Having had a successful business life, I can say that now at 65 years of age, I am living the life I want. Every morning I say this to myself. I am totally dedicated to cryptocurrency consulting, and to the production of content related to decentralization and the possibility of efficiently coordinating all the actions that blockchain technology offers us for all aspects of our lives.

I must admit, noblesse obliges, that I owe this new job and this new life to my former college student and to KuCoin. The first lit a spark, and the second unleashed a fire that led me to plan my senior years with incredible happiness.

I have a lot of fun being the “cryptocurrency-talking boomer,” as my students now call me. For my part, I am glad to be alive at this moment of humanity's quantum leap toward a new stage of civilization.

Congratulations KuCoin for your first 5 years. I believe that your philosophy is totally aligned with mine and that years of growth and happiness await you. Thank you for including us all and for laying a brick in this new construction of relationships between humans.

If you still don't have a KuCoin account for some strange and esoteric reason, I ask you to consider doing it with my referral link.

Thank you for reading! Decentralize yourselves as much as you can, and much more! Work for yourselves, not for others. When you work for someone else, they pay you what YOUR POSITION is worth, when you work for yourself, they pay you what YOU are worth. No one achieves financial independence by working as an employee. Live long and prosper!
